The three of us transmigrated as a princess, a chancellor’s son, and a minister’s daughter, and got stuck with three bizarre Systems. We spend every day roasting one another in our group chat.
At the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, those two bowed to me. One wished me blessings as vast as the Eastern Sea, and the other wished my hairline would stay put.
Is this friendship even worth keeping? Other people transmigrate and get palace intrigue, household rivalries, and a chance to turn their lives around with face-slapping.
I, Ming Tang, transmigrated and became a princess. I wore a moon-white palace gown and six kingfisher-feather hairpins, looking graceful and elegant, every inch a proper lady.
Then I had to put on a little show for two old acquaintances and pretend we were meeting for the first time.
Lu Xingzhi, the chancellor’s son, bowed deeply with a blank expression. “Greetings, Your Highness. May your blessings be as vast as the Eastern Sea and your life as long as the Southern Mountains.”
Ming Tang: ? You don’t have to recite a greeting when you bow!
Lu Xingzhi: Three seconds is a long time. I was afraid of an awkward silence.
Su Zhuo, the minister’s daughter, performed a flawless curtsy, like something out of a textbook. In a completely emotionless voice, she said, “May Your Highness’s hairline remain strong, your kingfisher-feather hairpins stay in place, and your palace gown’s hem not trip you up.”
Ming Tang: ...
Ming Tang: Did you two plan this?
Su Zhuo: No. I’m just practical.
Lu Xingzhi: I’m more traditional.
Ming Tang leaned on a pillar, laughing so hard she could barely stand. Her six hairpins shook wildly. Without changing expression, Lu Xingzhi summoned his System. Click.
Ming Tang: You took a picture?!
Lu Xingzhi: No.
Ming Tang: You absolutely did!
Lu Xingzhi: You must have misheard.
Su Zhuo: He has more pictures saved than you have secret savings.
That night, in the group chat:
[Lu Xingzhi]: [Image]
[Su Zhuo]: Saved it.
[Ming Tang]: I’m leaving the group!! And I mean it this time!!!
[Lu Xingzhi]: I tried to talk you out of it in my heart.
[Ming Tang]: ...
[Ming Tang]: Were you two partners in your past lives?
[Lu Xingzhi]: No.
