Transmigrated as an Abandoned Consort in the Cold Palace, I Lie Flat with the System

Xie Shu transmigrates into the body of a discarded concubine in the Cold Palace. The original owner was jilted, poisoned, and dead by chapter three.

She lies flat and gives up, earning points with her [Good-for-Nothing Achievement System]: skip getting dressed up for +30, sass the Noble Consort for +50!

As she sips porridge in the Cold Palace, Prince Xiao Jiming, the regent, visits at night. “You look like a salted fish that's been struck by lightning.”

She stocks up on food and vaults across the rooftops, earning a reputation as a “ghost shadow.” He protects her with a forged imperial edict and secretly has the guards transferred away.

When the emperor investigates the palace, she acts like a lunatic and turns around to expose the Noble Consort for hiding forbidden items. The Noble Consort is confined!

He climbs over the wall every night to mooch a meal, while the aroma of her stewed meat fills the palace. Their feelings quietly grow.

The battle for the throne erupts. She becomes his shelter from the storm, he takes a poisoned arrow for her, and she turns the tables with a broom to save the day.

The System goes haywire: she's the spirit of the book, and she can rewrite her own fate.

The Cold Palace's good-for-nothing fish rises to become empress. The cold-faced prince finally gives in and marries her: “I'll be your shield.”
