Ten Years of Sign-Ins in the Cold Palace Made Me the Underground Empress

[Palace intrigue + martial arts + sign-in + wish fulfillment]

On my first day as a retired heroine, I was bound to the Cold Palace sign-in System.

The System said: "Sign in for ten years, and you'll become the underground empress."

Without a second thought, I deliberately angered the emperor and moved into the Cold Palace.

On the first day, sign-in earned me the peerless martial art, Nineteen Forms of Forgetting Worries.

On the seventh day, sign-in earned me the jianghu intelligence network, Forget Worry Pavilion.

A month later, I used the wealth from my sign-in rewards to open an underground bank in the Cold Palace.

A year later, the entire imperial harem was working for me.

Three years later, half the officials at court were my clients.

When the ten years were up, the System notified me: "Congratulations, Host. You've unlocked the title [Underground Empress]."

Just as I was preparing to retire in triumph, the emperor who had once banished me to the Cold Palace blocked the doorway. "Empress, had enough fun? It's time to come back to the palace."
