Qi Jinyu, the highest-ranking of the four consorts, died a tragic death after being framed, then was reborn.
After her rebirth, she discovered that Lan Liangyuan, who had always been at odds with her, had been possessed by the emperor.
The emperor suddenly found himself in the body of a Liangdi. His rank was low, but his attitude was haughty, and his palace-scheming skills were nonexistent. He either kicked the empress's pet dog or snatched the princes' and princesses' riding crops. If Qi Jinyu hadn't helped him, he would have nearly lost his life to palace intrigue several times.
Jin Mingxu never imagined that choking on a sip of tea would send his soul into the body of an unfavored Liangyuan. And Qi Jinyu discovered his secret.
After transmigrating into a consort, Jin Mingxu was bullied every moment of every day. From the seemingly gentle and virtuous empress to the servants who normally wouldn't dare make a sound, everyone took a turn stepping on him. Thankfully, he clung to Qi Jinyu and managed to hold on to his life.
After experiencing the darkness of the imperial harem, he realized that Qi Jinyu, who had always seemed arrogant and domineering, was practically a fairy, a beacon of righteousness in the harem.
Jin Mingxu: “Beloved Consort, once I return to my original body, I'll make you empress!”
Qi Jinyu: “Thanks for the offer. I'm here to watch the show, and I don't want to be empress.”
If she weren't trying to pass the time, she would have sent that dog of a man vanishing into the raging river of palace intrigue long ago.
A female lead who seems cruel and cunning, with top-tier palace-scheming skills, but is actually a couch potato x a male lead who seems fierce and troublesome, but is actually bullied at every turn
P.S.: 1. There is a harem, but the male lead dotes exclusively on the female lead later in the story.
2. Fictional setting, fictional setting, fictional setting.
Theme: Don't judge people by appearances. Treat everyone around you with sincerity
