Better to Eat Melon Than Fight for the Emperor's Favor

After transmigrating, Lin Fei became the young daughter of a family of princes and nobles.

She barely got to enjoy the good life before a decree from that damned emperor sent her into the palace.

Once you enter the palace gates, the depths are like the sea. She tearfully bid farewell to the street stalls.

She'd imagined countless kinds of life in the palace, but once she actually got there, she found that palace life really wasn't simple.

She was getting a little too full... Too full from all the gossip.
