Heroine: She looks like an adorable three-year-old, but inside she’s an old monster who has seen through the mortal world. In her last life, cultivating to ascension was so boring that this time she’s decided to come to the human world for some fun.
Golden finger: Every morning when she wakes up, the System gives her a gift. Sometimes it’s “Today you can hear what other people are thinking.” Sometimes it’s “Eat a candy bean and get super strength.” And sometimes it’s simply “One modern firearm instruction manual, ready for you to collect.”
The villains: The consorts throwing their weight around in the inner palace, the ministers looking down their noses at everyone in court, and the foreigners across the sea who think they’re so great. At first, they look at the heroine and think: Where did this little runt come from? Later, they look at her and beg: Please spare us, Your Highness!
Official synopsis:
The heroine opens her eyes: Well, would you look at that, she’s transmigrated into a little princess in the Cold Palace. Her mother is dead, her father is a shameless scoundrel, and the inner palace is full of tigresses.
On her first day, she does a sign-in and the System gives her “Mind-Reading.” From then on, the inner palace is one big comedy show in her eyes. Consort Hua smiles on the outside while cursing the Emperor as a bald man in her heart; the Empress chants “Amitabha” aloud while plotting how to kill someone in her mind.
