[Laid-back nine-tailed fox who just wants to lie flat vs. gentle, refined emperor with a dark side]
After failing her tribulation, thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox Lu Yanqing wakes up to find herself a newly arrived imperial consort.
In her past life, she fought heaven and earth and her own kind, working herself to the bone only to end up struck by lightning.
This time, she has just one goal: lie flat in the imperial harem and live to a ripe old age.
The Noble Consort picks a fight? She can't be bothered to look up. The Empress tests her? She pretends not to understand.
When the emperor visits her palace, the greatest courtesy she can manage is not pretending to be asleep.
She thinks she's lying flat enough, but the harem keeps pouring trouble on her, one basin after another.
At last, Lu Yanqing sighs.
“I was a nine-tailed fox in my past life, not a pushover.”
