Foodie office worker Su Tiantian woke up as a nobody in the imperial palace.
After getting a little too absorbed in gnawing on a pig's trotter at a palace banquet, the emperor banished her to the Cold Palace on the spot, where she was rewarded with a private “luxury suite”!
She also got a useless System that was sometimes god-tier and sometimes completely offline.
The System's mission: win over the regent, a devastatingly handsome, ruthless man with power over the whole court!
The useless little thing thumped its chest. “Don't worry, Host! According to the data, sending him food will warm his stomach, acting pitiful will awaken his protective instincts, and a heroic rescue is the ultimate killer move!”
Su Tiantian believed it. And then...
The regent's dog tested the pastries she'd sent for poison. Her pitiful act got tears all over his priceless Persian carpet. And the heroic rescue? She kicked the drugged regent straight into Taiye Lake!
Just as Su Tiantian thought she'd failed and prepared to lie flat in the Cold Palace, the man who suffered a monthly poison attack on the fifteenth and killed without blinking cornered her against a wall, his eyes red.
“You flirt with me, then run? Who taught you manners?”
Su Tiantian called it a job well done and packed her bags to flee.
But the man turned the tables and locked her in a gilded cage, his voice hoarse and filled with possessiveness.
“Did your System predict that this heart of mine would be yours? You succeeded in winning me over, and the price is the rest of your life.”
