After transmigrating into the body of Zhang Shufei, a concubine in Emperor Kangxi’s harem who was suffering a hemorrhage, Chu Ning could only say, “This isn’t how the story is supposed to go!”
She had spent ten years fighting for survival in the apocalypse. She was tired.
Her goal in this life: be a lazy fish and live to a natural death.
A hemorrhage? One touch of her wood-type ability, and she was back to full health in seconds.
Compete for the emperor’s favor? She moved to a side hall of the Palace of Compassionate Tranquility overnight.
“Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, I’d be honored to recite sutras and tend your flowers every day.”
The concubines fought like roosters in the harem.
She sipped tea and slacked off in the Empress Dowager’s little shrine.
“Consort Noble won again? Oh, these jasmine flowers smell wonderful.”
The princes’ struggle for the throne was heating up.
She took her son by the hand and knelt before the Empress Dowager.
“Please, Ancestress, grant us a favor and let this child… live as an idle member of the imperial clan!”
Everyone laughed at her for having no ambition.
Until
The Dzungars invaded the frontier, and the court had no generals.
The Empress Dowager casually pointed at her. “Zhang girl, where’s that military manual your father left behind?”
Chu Ning was forced to open her apocalypse war journal.
Three days later, news of victory at the border and her application to lie flat arrived at the emperor’s desk at the same time.
Kangxi studied the memorials, lost in thought.
“Since my beloved consort understands military strategy, perhaps…”
“Your Majesty, I have a headache!” She instantly turned frail. “Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, which volume of the Diamond Sutra should we recite today?”
