Palace intrigue? Fighting for favor? Whoever wants this miserable job can have it. Her goal is to quit on the spot, lie flat, make money, and retire! And so, the harem’s style takes a sharp turn. She makes ugly doll blind boxes for the consorts, and they become so popular that customers need to enter a lottery! She introduces KPI performance reviews for the palace maids and eunuchs, getting the whole palace working around the clock! She even starts up The Forbidden City Gossip Weekly, and it’s such a hit that even the emperor secretly follows every issue. She only wants to lose all her starting capital and get packed off to the Cold Palace. Instead, she stares at the mountains of silver piling up before her, lost in thought. Worse still, her handsome, outrageously good-looking boss, Emperor Xiao Jingxuan, is starting to look at her in a very strange way. Pushed to the brink by her boss’s relentless advances, Shen Yuejiao finally snaps and hands in her resignation. “Your Majesty, I can’t work this miserable job for another day!
