The Empress Only Wants to Be a Slacker [Ancient to Modern]

Mu Ran spent more than a decade in ancient times, rising from an unloved daughter of a military family to the head of the imperial harem, second only to The Outcast and above everyone else. She had barely enjoyed a few days of peace when she took a blade for the dog emperor and met her end.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the modern world. At the same time, she discovered that she was merely a supporting female character in a novel, a tool for putting others down and making their triumphs more satisfying.

She had returned five years later. The once dazzling rising star had become a disgraced, washed-up actress, surrounded by scandals. Everyone knew Mu Ran was finished.

The empress had struggled for more than a decade in ancient times and finally become the MVP of the whole show. Now she was back to square one, and she really did not want to work hard anymore. She just wanted to laze around.

But her abilities would not let her, and before she knew it, she had become popular again!

While taking part in a lifestyle experience show, the female lead accused her of loafing around and refusing to help. The empress, lounging like a salted fish, picked at her ear, then impatiently split a log in two with one swift chop of her hand. The others could only exclaim, "Well, look at that!" Thanks to her chopping firewood, their team leaped straight to first place.

While taking part in an acting competition show, the judges played favorites and tore into her with baseless criticism. The empress raised her phoenix eyes and, with a sweet smile, argued a judge to tears. She even poached talent from the production team, withdrew from the show, and fully funded a variety show of the same kind, which became a massive hit.

At an all-star sports meet, some people warmed up while others posed for the cameras, each looking like a real pro. The empress, who seemed especially "amateur," gave a cool glance and tossed the discus with an easy flick of her hand, breaking the world record...

Haters: "I used to think Mu Ran was just a pretty face, but after seeing her split firewood with her bare hands, act like a goddess, talk trash so well she made scumbags cry, kick thugs flying, and excel at everything, I get it now. I'm a fan."

#It took a while, but I've finally come around#

#She's no pretty face, she's the heroine of a wish-fulfillment story#

One day, Mu Ran passed by a practice room and gave a cheeky whistle. In a lingering tone, she said, "Hey, little brother, stop working so hard. Your big sister will take care of you."

The tall, long-legged young man turned around with a meaningful smile, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Your Majesty, long time no see."
