A modern office worker woke up to find herself in the body of Gu Qingyuan, a delicate, frail young concubine in the harem of the Dayao Dynasty.
The original owner was timid and meek, wanting only to live in peace. All she wanted was to focus on her career: winning the emperor’s favor!

A mild temper? That was only because she hadn’t tried acting cute in front of His Majesty.
She competed and fought for attention, playing the part of a sweet, fussy little troublemaker.
She got teary-eyed whenever she felt wronged, coughed delicately at the slightest breeze, and had the emperor wrapped around her little finger with a bit of coquettish charm.
Before long, the entire harem knew:
