My Office Palace-Intrigue Drama: The Boss Falls for Me

I treat Empresses in the Palace as a workplace handbook and put its lessons into practice at a top corporation, climbing from intern to CEO through office intrigue.

On my first day at work, I mistake Sheng Tian, a leading tech conglomerate, for a modern-day Forbidden City.

My colleagues smile while plotting against me, my superiors are ruthless, and the capital tycoons pull strings from behind the scenes.

But I’m not afraid.

As a devoted Empresses in the Palace scholar and a game theory expert, my golden finger is an encrypted copy of The Register of Treacherous Officials.

They play Consort Hua and pretend to be the Empress in front of me, competing to see who gets the worst of it.

But they don’t know my script is Towards the Republic.

From an intern splashed with coffee to a project team leader promoted ahead of schedule;

from being framed and hitting rock bottom to turning the tables in front of the chairman;

I use the rules and master human nature, turning the wisdom of palace intrigue into workplace strategy.

When Lu Yanzhou, the heir apparent, offers me a chance to rule the empire together, I turn him down.

Because a true winner is never satisfied with reigning over just one harem.

I intend to leave the palace walls behind and define a world of my own.
