Qiao Mengmeng, a minor celebrity, woke from a nap to find a man standing before her, dressed in a bright yellow imperial robe, elegant as a jade tree and incomparably noble.
?
Damn!
She had transmigrated.
Her new self was a low-ranking concubine named Qiao, stuck in the cold palace with cold meals and a cold bench, forced to agree with everyone she met.
She didn't even have a title.
Remembering the miserable, impoverished conditions of her new life, then looking at the peerless emperor before her, Qiao Mengmeng made up her mind on the spot: I'm going to sleep with Kangxi, become his favorite consort, receive the worship of all his people, and reach the pinnacle of life!
Kangxi: "..."
Why was this consort looking at him like a wolf eyeing meat?
He casually grabbed a handkerchief and tossed it at Qiao Mengmeng's face. "You may leave."
Qiao Mengmeng: "..."
After being sent back untouched from her very first night with the emperor, Qiao Mengmeng became the laughingstock of the entire palace. The concubine in the main hall even came over to laugh at her.
Qiao Mengmeng rolled up her sleeves. I've seen countless men, and I'm a brilliant actress. I refuse to believe I can't win you over!
The next day.
Kangxi spotted Qiao Mengmeng in the imperial garden, wearing a crop top and a face veil as she danced an explosive pole-dancing routine.
--Damn, one of us!
He cautiously asked, "Crispy pork belly?"
Qiao Mengmeng froze, then cautiously replied, "...Internet-famous salt-baked chicken?"
Kangxi was thrilled. "Self-heating hot pot?"
Qiao Mengmeng: "Boiling shrimp?"
The two high-fived in celebration.
Qiao Mengmeng was so excited. We're fellow countrymen! I can just coast to victory! But then Kangxi asked gravely, "I studied computer science at university. Have you read up on Qing history? How did Kangxi defeat Oboi, crush Wu Sangui, and take down Galdan?"
"How do we fool Mingzhu and avoid Sony's scrutiny? How do we expand the empire? How do we defeat the Eight-Nation Alliance? I suspect they've already grown suspicious."
"You have no idea how clever they are."
The tribute lychee in Qiao Mengmeng's hand suddenly didn't taste so good anymore.
She suddenly realized that this was the young Kangxi, surrounded by countless capable ministers, with a perilous road ahead.
She pushed the lychee back into Kangxi's hand. "...I didn't even graduate from kindergarten. I really don't know anything. I'm counting on you!"
Kangxi: "..."
