At a class reunion, Xie Zhenqiu was joking with her old classmates one moment, saying that if the mushrooms were poisonous, the whole class would be wiped out in one go.
Then her words came true: the mushrooms really were poisonous.
When she woke up, she found herself transmigrated to a dynasty that had never appeared in history, where she had become the emperor's most favored consort.
Not wanting to serve the emperor, she made every excuse she could.
She prepared herself for the whole harem to gang up on her when she went to pay her respects to the empress.
But then she discovered... Wasn't the empress her classmate?
Huh? That consort who'd just snapped at her was also a classmate. She'd only been acting. No wonder she looked like she'd just clocked out as soon as she'd finished speaking.
Everyone started digging around for each other's secret identities, only to find that from the emperor and empress down to the palace maids and eunuchs, the entire palace was full of people from their class!
Well, now the whole imperial palace was a giant stage. Everyone looked polished and glamorous on the surface, but backstage it was a complete mess.
A consort was summoned to the emperor's chambers, and the old classmates faced each other in utter embarrassment, still having to put on a show for the people outside. Since the woman wasn't very good at moaning, the emperor finally had to fill in.
Rumor had it that the powerful eunuch and the deposed consort in the Cold Palace were having an affair. In truth, he knew nothing about court intrigue, so every day he carried memorials to the class monitor to beg for help.
The emperor favored the newly appointed top scholar. The officials thought he was trying to build a loyalist faction, never realizing that the emperor was attracted to men and went to the harem every day to ask the girls for advice on how to pursue someone.
Today, a cross-dressing consort accidentally has their true gender exposed. Tomorrow, a physician and his consort sweetheart are caught on a date. The day after that, the class representative, transmigrated into the eight-year-old crown prince, fails to hide that he's a child prodigy...
This ragtag bunch grumbled as they cleaned up each other's messes, then discovered that this world was a giant mess, too. With all the chaos they caused, how had they still managed to get the whole country back on its feet?
