[Buddhist-minded heroine vs. lovesick emperor]
[Transmigration + light ensemble cast + light palace intrigue + everyday child-rearing + favored early on + doted on exclusively later + the male lead knows his own feelings] (Not a pure pairing, proceed with caution!!!)
Song Zile worked herself to death from overtime and transmigrated into the harem of Great Ning, becoming a low-ranking consort.
She's just an ordinary person. She knows nothing of high-level schemes, isn't skilled at manipulation, and has no desire to compete for favor. She only wants to live peacefully and stay out of the palace's conflicts.
But in this imperial palace, no one is allowed to simply mind their own business.
Everyone says the empress is dignified and composed, while Consort Rong is flamboyant and deeply favored. The two are bitter enemies.
Everyone says Consort Liang and the emperor were childhood sweethearts, deeply devoted to each other.
Everyone says Consort Xi, with her unconventional ways, has won the emperor's exclusive favor.
Only a few people in the highest positions know the truth.
Behind all that fame lie disguises, debts of gratitude, and helplessness. One old story after another is buried behind the vermilion walls.
Behind the seeming splendor are nothing but schemes. Everyone has their own obsession and secrets, and everyone is caught in the game.
Without even realizing it, Song Zile becomes the one unexpected variable in this deadlock.
