I Only Want to Be Deposed

[Hilarious wish-fulfillment, historical romance, palace and household intrigue, transmigration, System, trope subversion, sweet romance]

On her first day transmigrated as empress, Shen Jinjin is bound to the Deposed Empress System.

The System says: If you can get yourself deposed, you'll return to the modern world and receive ten million.

Shen Jinjin rises to the challenge on the spot.

While others transmigrate to compete for favor, she studies how to lose it.

While others scheme for power, she gives up without a fight.

While others blush prettily during an imperial summons, she pretends to go mad in the middle of the night.

While others perform dazzling dances, she does radio calisthenics in front of everyone.

She thinks she's just one step away from being deposed.

But then...

The emperor sees her pretending to be crazy: “The empress truly is one of a kind.”

She talks back to the empress dowager: “The empress is so refreshingly genuine. I like her.”

She hands the phoenix seal to the imperial consort: “The empress doesn't cling to power. How virtuous!”

She hurls a pillow at an assassin in the middle of the night: “The empress kept her cool in a crisis and saved the emperor!”

Shen Jinjin is falling apart.

“Seriously, I'm trying to get myself killed here!”

The System is falling apart too.

[Host, your odds of being deposed have dropped to 0.0000001%.]

Later, the entire imperial harem stops competing and spends every day doting on her.

The whole court stops criticizing her and begs her to govern in the emperor's stead.

Even the emperor, cold as ice, waits outside Fengyi Palace every night.

Xiao Zhi: “You want to be deposed, Empress?”

Shen Jinjin nods frantically.

The man chuckles and tears the edict of deposition to shreds.

“Funny you should ask.”

“I only want you to be my one and only empress.”
