My Overworked Girlfriend Is the Emperor

Overworked office drone Lin Qinghuan dies suddenly from working overtime and transmigrates into the body of an obscure female court official in ancient times.

She plans to lie flat and coast along, but after taking a spectacular face-plant in front of the emperor, she catches the eye of Jiang Linyue, a young and beautiful empress.

From then on, the imperial study gains a timid little official who wants to keep a low profile but can't help using Excel-style thinking to reorganize the workplace.

Lin Qinghuan: Your Majesty, here's the project Gantt chart, KPI assessment sheet, canal transport optimization plan...

The Empress: Anything else, my dear? (A deep gaze.)

Lin Qinghuan (thinking): Help! Why does my boss keep making me work overtime for free? But she pays so well... She gives me a salary, sometimes feeds me snacks with her own hands, and even covers me with a cloak late at night. What am I supposed to do?!

At first, Lin Qinghuan is terrified of the dignified empress and turns into a coward whenever they meet.

Later, she discovers that beneath Her Majesty's aloof exterior lies a tenderness that will make her berate a prince for Lin Qinghuan's sake, personally do her makeup, and even stay awake all night by her sickbed.

Meanwhile, Jiang Linyue gradually becomes captivated by the little official's strange and wonderful ideas, and by the lively, clumsy sincerity she reveals only to her.

When modern management strategies collide with ancient imperial politics,

when an office drone's will to survive meets the empress's CEO-style pampering,

Lin Qinghuan holds the decree appointing her a "First-Rank Pillar of the Realm" and finally understands:

She transmigrated across a thousand years so she could stand shoulder to shoulder with one person and behold this flourishing realm.
