[Zhu Wan, the heroine who collects secret identities and cosplays her way through the harem VS Chu Chenyue, an earnest, straight-laced workaholic hero]
Zhu Wan transmigrates into a book as an overlooked empress who is neglected on her wedding day.
Over the next three years, she uses her knowledge of the original plot to consolidate power. Without drawing attention, she gets the six palaces running like clockwork, and no one realizes she has taken complete control of the harem.
During this time, Zhu Wan stays secluded under the pretext of recovering from an illness. She keeps a low profile, never competes for the emperor's favor or causes trouble, and few people in the harem have even seen her true face.
Every so often, she even has to put on a show of the emperor and empress's deep affection from afar to deal with the concubines' petty schemes.
After a while, the modern woman in her starts to feel like she's going crazy, and she gives up on trying:
Palace intrigue?
Nope, nope, nope!!!
Zhu Wan becomes obsessed with cosplay in the harem, frantically unlocking all sorts of hidden identities:
Disguised as a handsome young eunuch, she serves at the emperor's side and rises through the ranks to become his trusted aide.
Posing as a mysterious palace maid, she uses modern taste to lead a new wave of fashion and makeup in the harem.
Transforming into a peerless dance girl, she performs a breathtaking dance that haunts the emperor's dreams.
Writing best-selling popular fiction under a secret identity, she takes the capital by storm as nobles and aristocrats clamor for the next chapter every day!
What's more, she has secretly gained control of half the capital's businesses and become its low-key, mysterious richest person.
Chu Chenyue searches high and low for these remarkable talents. The more he investigates, the more fascinated he becomes, until he discovers that all the people he has been thinking about are none other than his mysterious empress.
Chu Chenyue: Zhu Wan, just how many identities are you hiding from me?
Zhu Wan: Don't rush, Your Majesty. Keep peeling back the layers, and there are still more surprises ahead!
