A death sentence from the start! Guarja Yunshu transmigrates into the harem of Emperor Yongzheng, becoming a cannon-fodder concubine who is about to be executed.
According to the rules of transmigration, as long as the emperor orders her death, she can return to the modern world.
So, faced with the Qing harem's strict rules and the cold, merciless Emperor Yongzheng, Yunshu decisively launches into a campaign of outrageous troublemaking!
The original heroine pretends to be demure? Yunshu promptly splashes her with a cup of hot tea. "Your Majesty, I'm arrogant and domineering, so please order my execution!"
But just as the usually cold-faced emperor is about to lose his temper, a crisp voice rings in his mind:
[Come on, do it! Just cut my head off and I can go back to the modern world, blast the air conditioning, and eat watermelon! And by the way, that scheming green-tea girl put an infertility drug in the tea she just served you!]
Emperor Yongzheng's hand trembles around his teacup, and his expression changes in an instant.
From then on, the harem witnesses a strange spectacle. Yunshu comes up with new ways to court death every day, acting crazy and talking back to the emperor, yet he smiles and rewards her every time.
On the surface, Yunshu is arrogant and domineering: "I'm done following these stupid rules!" Inside, she's panicking: [Why hasn't this big jerk killed me yet? Am I not causing enough trouble?]
Listening to her thoughts, Emperor Yongzheng spins a whole story in his head: "Yunshu is willing to bear the blame just to protect me. She hides her deep affection behind this act. She loves me so much!"
When Yunshu goes from a low-ranking concubine to Empress of the Great Qing, she looks at the adoring Emperor Yongzheng and falls into utter despair: Is there any hope for this harem at all?!
