Su Nianqing transmigrates into the imperial palace of the Great Jing and gets bound to a wicked System.
The System's rules are simple and brutal:
Only if the emperor personally kills me can I return to the modern world and lie flat!
Other women who transmigrate compete for the emperor's favor, vie for power, and tear into their enemies.
She spends every day trying to get herself killed, coming up with new ways to provoke the tyrant.
She knocks over the poisonous tea bestowed by imperial decree. What a hero, saving the emperor! A reward!
She burns a memorial full of flattery. The emperor is delighted! A promotion!
She openly defies the Imperial Consort and disrupts her plans. His Majesty waves a hand: Forgiven!
To make matters worse, the tyrant not only refuses to kill her, but uses her as a shield to fend off his clingy cousin, the Imperial Consort.
Try to get herself killed once, get promoted one rank. Cause trouble once, earn even more imperial favor.
The tyrant: This woman has a uniquely noble character. I like her very much.
Su Nianqing screams inwardly: You really don't need to like me!
Your Majesty! Please, have mercy! Stop promoting me! Just hurry up and chop my head off, will you?!
