Overworked corporate drone Shen Yu stayed up all night and died suddenly. When she opened her eyes, she had become a low-ranking concubine who had just entered the palace of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Faced with a palace-intrigue plot full of deadly traps, Shen Yu wanted to quit on the spot. "Whoever wants this lousy job can have it. I just want my monthly pay so I can retire!"
So while everyone else fought for favor, she slept. While everyone else poisoned people, she focused on eating.
When the Noble Consort sentenced her to the beating known as "one zhang of red," Shen Yu raged inwardly: [Good! Beat me until the emperor thinks I'm bad luck and sends me to the Cold Palace. Then I'll be completely free!]
The Noble Consort paused, then silently lowered her board.
The emperor sounded her out. "What does my beloved consort think of me?"
Shen Yu looked bashful on the outside, but inside she thought: [Could the big boss stop coming to inspect the workplace? Those dark circles make you look like you're about to drop dead. Go to sleep already, and stop working yourself to death!]
The emperor was silent for a long time. The next day, he canceled court, and the entire harem started focusing on their health.
Then one day, Shen Yu discovered that she could hear other people's thoughts, and everyone in the harem could hear hers too.
The concubines, who had been ready to fight like mad, all started slacking off after hearing her thoughts.
The empress no longer wanted to manage the accounts, the Noble Consort no longer wanted to poison anyone, and even the emperor started figuring out how to retire early.
Shen Yu: "?"
Don't be like this. You're scaring me.
