A modern office drone wakes up in the world of Empresses in the Palace, transmigrated into Xia Dongchun, the first expendable character to die onscreen.
And so the blood-soaked harem takes a turn for the absurd.
While everyone else competes for favor, she stuffs herself with delicious food and gains weight to escape the palace's image-management KPIs.
While others scheme and form factions, she makes herself a fixture in the Empress Dowager's palace, playing mahjong.
The villains' meticulously laid traps always fall apart in the face of her baffling, unexpected antics.
No melodramatic rivalry between women here. The harem is all about sisters helping one another and enjoying the everyday fun.
She dodges every brush with death by eating, drinking, having fun, and thinking outside the box. She turns the whole palace upside down, protects her closest friends, outlasts the empress, and eventually scores a retired consort's pension, spending the rest of her life happily taking it easy.
