Everyone knows Yunnan has the freshest mushrooms. I hadn't even had my fill of its beautiful scenery when my greedy self ate hotpot made with wild mushrooms and keeled over. I woke up transmigrated as the most miserable concubine-born daughter in the Prime Minister's household in Great Qian.
My mother was cheated out of her money and murdered by my scumbag father, who favored his concubines and cast my mother aside. The position of legitimate daughter was handed to someone else.
Now, an imperial edict has made my life “blessing” my elder sister doesn't want: a chance to enter the palace as a pawn.
Everyone laughs that I'm weak and have no powerful backer, and that I'll only be cannon fodder in the palace.
But they don't know that I brought along the apartment space I had in my previous life, stocked with all sorts of “modern good stuff.”
At the selection ceremony, I catch the emperor's eye with a plain silver hairpin;
When the consorts frame me, I pull out soap and essential oils to win people over;
When the empress makes things difficult for me, I bring out hotpot and milk tea to win over the emperor's stomach.
The emperor's gaze grows more intent, and he spends every night at my Baifu Palace:
“My beloved consort, what other surprises do you have that I don't know about?”
Beef tripe hotpot? You actually fed me poop!
I try to send him out to share his favor with the other consorts, but he pins me against the wall and chuckles:
“So what if the ministers call you a bewitching consort? I insist on doting on you alone.”
The imperial palace is like a workplace. Getting promoted takes skill.
This time, I'll use my space cheat to become the most favored woman in the six palaces and rule the realm.
As for everyone who hurt my mother or trampled on me...
Don't rush. We'll settle the score one step at a time.
How will the Prime Minister's concubine-born daughter seize power in the imperial harem, turn her life around, and make her scumbag father and stepmother regret everything?
