Beauty blogger Wen Yu stumbled and fell into the Kangxi era, becoming a Manchu noblewoman about to enter the palace selection. From the start, she was bound to the “Harem Savings System.”
System: “Want to live out your days in the Forbidden City? Want financial freedom? Then give up competing and focus on saving money!”
[Ding! New task: Doze off in front of the palace instructor. Reward: one tael of silver!]

Wen Yu: “I’m a natural at this! Who doesn’t know how to slack off?”
To get out of the palace and open a rouge shop as soon as possible, Wen Yu raced down the road of doing as little as possible.
While others practiced music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she secretly goofed off. While others competed to outshine each other, she quietly kept the books.
Unexpectedly, on the day of the selection, her uniquely gloomy makeup caught Kangxi’s eye. “This girl looks honest and kind, with a calm temperament. Give her to the Sixth Prince. She’ll be just the thing to bring him good luck!”
Wen Yu: “???”
Bundled off to the Sixth Prince’s residence, Wen Yu looked at the famously sickly, taciturn Sixth Prince and counted on her fingers.
She could easily support herself. But a husband who was a walking medicine jar? System, give me a few billion more tasks!
From then on, while the Fourth Prince’s household fought over favor, she munched on gossip and saved money. While the Eighth Prince’s household enjoyed brotherly harmony, she munched on gossip and saved money. While the Crown Princess was worn out with worry, she munched on gossip and saved money!
But as she went on snacking, how had the Sixth Prince, who she’d thought wouldn’t live to see tomorrow, grown rosier and rosier? And why was he looking at her so strangely?
