After transmigrating into a treacherous imperial palace, Yu Nanzhi becomes a disgraced consort sent to the Cold Palace from the start, and binds herself to the [Slow Living Wellness System].
As long as she stays out of the harem's power struggles and lives at an ever more leisurely, comfortable pace, she can redeem Spirit Springs, greenhouse structures, and Manchu-Han Imperial Feasts!
So while the consorts in the main palace fight tooth and nail for favor,
Yu Nanzhi brews flower wine in spring and warms herself by the stove with tea in winter. She even enjoys spicy hot pot in the abandoned courtyard.
Who could have guessed the aroma would drift so far that it would draw in Emperor Rong Jibai, who is irritable from his constant insomnia?
The emperor glares. "The Cold Palace is an important place. How can you set up a private stove here?"
Yu Nanzhi offers him a bowl of hot soup. "Your Majesty, this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall has been simmering over a low flame for three hours. Would you like to try some?"
The emperor takes a taste, then silently sets down the imperial edict ordering her punishment.
Later...
The Imperial Noble Consort climbs over the wall with a box of pearls, hoping to join the feast. "Sister, add another place setting!"
The officials are stunned to discover that their decisive, bloodthirsty emperor now rushes to the Cold Palace every day as soon as court is dismissed, scrambling for a stool and waiting for dinner!
