The Discarded Consort Keeps Trying to Resign

A modern HR director transmigrates into a palace-intrigue novel as a cannon-fodder concubine who is deposed in the opening round, and gets bound to the Empress’s Professional Ethics System. While all the consorts are fighting for the emperor’s favor, she only wants to use KPIs and performance reviews to reform the harem and save enough for retirement before she is deposed. She never expected her relentless drive to catch the attention of an emperor who just wants to be a foolish ruler.
