After working nonstop for thirty days on a 996 schedule, Mu Xiaohe, a director at a major tech company, died at her desk. When she opened her eyes again, she had become the Crown Princess of the Ming dynasty.
Above her was her iron-fisted father-in-law, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. Below her was her ambitious younger brother-in-law, Zhu Di. And between them was her gentle husband, Zhu Biao, who did nothing but read books by rote.
Mu Xiaohe rolled up her sleeves. “I don’t care about Ming royal power. In this household, everything is going to follow my KPIs!”
“Zhu Biao, pick up your socks and go wash the dishes.”
“Zhu Di, stop practicing your horse stance. Go chop two loads of firewood on the mountain for your sister-in-law. I’ll reward you with braised pork for lunch.”
“Father, if you dare insult my husband in public again, you can forget about touching the sweet-and-sour ribs tonight.”
Her top-notch cooking had the entire imperial palace drooling, while her big-company management skills got the Eastern Palace in order.
She thought she’d be waiting for a letter of divorce. Instead
Zhu Yuanzhang: “Eldest son’s wife, I raised my voice a little earlier. Could I have another piece of braised pork?”
Zhu Di: “Sister-in-law, I finished chopping the wood and sweeping the floor. Can I have as much zhajiangmian as I want today?”
Zhu Biao: “My wife is always right. I’ll go massage her feet right away!”
Even the three-year-old Crown Prince’s eldest son put his hands on his hips and declared: “Anyone who upsets my mother won’t get dinner tonight!”
The court officials fell silent in fear. The whole Ming dynasty had changed!
🤦 I thought I was dressed as a girl from the Chang family, but in the end I gave Xiao Zhu an original character
The plot is a bit stiff and I really can't stand it anymore.
