Bai Yuanxiu was on her way to a forced blind date when she got into a car accident. After transmigrating, she woke up to find herself the eldest daughter of a second-rank minister, while her family argued furiously over her marriage.
Her stepmother wanted her to marry her maternal cousin, her father wanted her to marry a widowed prince, and her brothers wanted her to enter the palace and compete for the emperor's favor...
Having been afraid of marriage in her previous life, Bai Yuanxiu could only scoff. Just then, the palace was recruiting female officials, so she promptly signed up! Why bother with palace intrigue when she could focus on her career?

Qi Moxiao had witnessed the loathsome faces of the imperial consorts fighting for power since childhood, and deep down, he was repulsed by women.
However, after ascending the throne, he was still forced to take a harem in order to stabilize the court.
The turmoil in the court had already worn him out. He truly had no energy left to deal with all those women with their endless tricks, so he issued an edict: Female officials wanted, generous benefits. Applicants must be career-minded and willing to remain unmarried.
The officials in charge were tearing their hair out. Your Majesty! What woman in this world would be willing to remain unmarried?
As it turned out, there was one. Among the many candidates, a girl as beautiful as a goddess stood out. But with looks like hers, no one believed she would be content to work without stirring up trouble. Yet, little by little...
She changed the atmosphere of the harem.
She solved countless difficult problems.
She saved the lives of countless people.
Then one day, the emperor gazed at the female official. What if... I were to take back the edict I issued back then?
Core theme: Mutual salvation.
