Synopsis

Ye Wanqiu transmigrates into the Dayao Dynasty, becoming the seventh princess, the most overlooked and bullied person in the inner palace.

Her birth mother, Consort Xian, mysteriously died years ago. In truth, she was framed and killed by Lu Linyuan, the Grand Councilor, in league with treacherous consorts in the harem.

The original owner had no favor, no power, and no one to rely on. She was bullied for years by her legitimate elder sister, trampled by the consorts, and mistreated by palace servants, living a life as insignificant as dust.

The transmigrated Ye Wanqiu sees through the truth of the inner palace: those who struggle against one another perish, and those who compete for favor meet their doom. The only path to invincibility is to lie flat.

She commits fully to her ultimate persona as a lazy, carefree idler: she will not compete, grab, fight, or wear herself down. Every day, she eats, sleeps, and basks in the sun, watching the drama unfold with carefree detachment.

Who could have guessed?

The less she vies for anything, the brighter she shines. The more she slacks off, the more legendary she becomes.

At a palace banquet in the imperial garden, all the powerful guests vie to curry favor with Regent King Xie Yiheng.

Only Ye Wanqiu sits alone in a corner, relaxed and unconcerned, disdaining to flatter anyone.

This powerful minister, who commands the empire's armies, strikes fear throughout the court, is cold-blooded and merciless, and has never shown a weakness in all his years, falls for her at first sight. From then on, he breaks every rule he has ever lived by.

Everyone knows Xie Yiheng as an impartial enforcer with laws as unyielding as mountains, one who never indulges anyone and never makes exceptions.

But for Ye Wanqiu, he makes exceptions, breaks taboos, crosses every line, and abandons every principle. He dotes on her alone and fiercely protects her: no one in the world is allowed to bully her.

The eldest legitimate princess grows jealous and gives her a hard time? Ye Wanqiu demolishes her with cutting words, leaving her humiliated.

The harem consorts frame and smear her? She exposes them in turn, and every last one is punished.

The aristocratic families secretly plot against her? She watches the show with easygoing calm and turns the tables with a brilliant plan.

A shocking injustice from years ago? She digs into it step by step, tearing open the secrets of the most powerful clans. She only wanted to slack off and coast through life, but ends up winning her way to the top.

He was destined to live a cold and lonely life, yet willingly upends the court for her and protects her so she can live in peace year after year.

Time Slipped Quietly By.

Dragon Kings and live-in son-in-laws are a thing of the past. Immortal Emperors and being reborn are a thing of the past. Wuxia and school beauties are a thing of the past too. (I'm talking about stories without a System.) Does anyone still remember the novels from back then?
