The Palace Intrigue Champion Takes on the Workplace

*Xiao Yi entered the palace at sixteen and became Empress Dowager at twenty-five, ruling from behind the curtain. Within a year, she had tripled the territory of the Li Dynasty. Two years later, however, Xiao Yi choked to death on a date.

Xiao Yi: ...

*When she woke again, Xiao Yi had become Xiao Yi, a pitiful newcomer in the workplace. Born into a family that favored boys over girls, Xiao Yi was the daughter of the Xiao family, but had lived on tenterhooks since childhood. After graduating, she found a job on her own, only to be targeted at every turn for offending a senior colleague. The man she had a crush on treated her like an ATM.

Xiao Yi: Even the palace maids around me had better lives than she does.

And so the former champion of palace intrigue, later known as Empress Dowager Xiao, began another journey of unstoppable success.

A family that favors boys? They think I can't inherit the company because I'm a woman? Sorry, if I want to, I can handle ten Xiao families.

You want to play mind games and make my life difficult? I'll show you what it means to be a champion of palace intrigue.

You lied about your feelings and took me for a fool? You might not know how that dog emperor died.

Just like that, the once-pitiful office worker turned her life around, took down the scheming colleagues around her, kicked out her sexist parents and useless little brother, and became the new president of Xiao Group. Along the way, she dealt with a scumbag and started a relationship based purely on mutual benefit with the CEO of IS.

One night, as Xiao Yi and Yin Ze were whispering intimately, she saw a mark on Yin Ze's chest, exactly like the one Prince Regent Yin Zhe had. It was the burn scar Yin Zhe had received while rescuing her from the cold palace all those years ago.

Xiao Yi: ???
