Zhou Qixue fell into a book written by a genius online author. That author was none other than her own younger sister!
Her sister said she had already arranged the best possible storyline for Zhou Qixue.
Was this really the best storyline?
How had Zhou Qixue become an emperor's unfavored empress?
How had she been framed?
How had she ended up dying for love?
No way. Zhou Qixue wasn't going to die for love. Couldn't everyone in this imperial palace just get along?
So, after she had been in the book for a while, the harem's style changed to this:
The emperor wanted to visit the sweet and obedient concubine, but she said, "Your Majesty, I'm not feeling too well today!"
So the emperor went to Consort Wen, who was sensible and reserved. Consort Wen said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I have to pray to Buddha today."
Fine, then he would go to his favorite consort's palace. But she was lying in bed, and her maid said she'd stayed up late painting the night before and had only just fallen asleep.
Only then did the emperor think of the unfavored empress, and reluctantly head for her palace.

Favorite Consort: I lost a lot of money playing Dou Dizhu yesterday. I have to win it back today.
Consort Wen: I only won a few taels from you. Are you really holding a grudge over that?
The Talented Lady: Your Majesty, should we have hotpot or barbecue today?
Empress: Oh no, I want both hotpot and barbecue.
The emperor standing outside the door: ?
