Transmigrate into a Book: A Wacky Reverse Harem Intrigue

Jing Xixi transmigrates into a goofy novel about reverse palace intrigue. The cannon-fodder supporting female character gets struck by lightning from the start. Jing Xixi, fresh from being struck by lightning: Oh, wow. In this utterly unhinged story, the more favor a concubine earns from the emperor, the more danger she's in. They even get, beep, all kinds of bizarre deaths! So everyone tries their best to lower the emperor's favor, for example: Consort Chen eats three meals of fatty pork every day. Consort Zhizhuo has gone bald in a few spots. Consort Kong is blind and gropes her way around. Consort An's voice sounds like a ghost from a horror movie. Consort Luo often runs naked through the palace. Noble Consort Jiji absolutely refuses to bathe. The palace hall of Noble Consort Yin is haunted every day... The concubines let loose, unafraid to outdo one another. You hold a eunuch's hand, while I dote on an imperial attendant. Rumor has it the emperor has been single for ages... He's terrified of choosing any of them. To avoid his favor, every one of them is a force to be reckoned with. And then there's Jing Xixi, Consort Jing, a favored concubine selected in the palace auditions, whose favor rating is closing in on number one. Jing Xixi: Oh, wow. If I don't get ruthless, I won't survive. Jing Xixi pleads pitifully: Can't you bear to watch the emperor summon me? The concubines: Congratulations, sister! Jing Xixi, fuming: You might as well carve the words "Emperor, stay away from me!" on your foreheads! The concubines, overjoyed: That's a great idea! Bring me a knife! * The emperor: I'm the victim here. I've been single since birth for years. The emperor: My beloved concubines look especially lovely today. The concubines: Oh, there's a fire in my hall. I must hurry back! Oh, my stomach hurts. I think I'm going to have diarrhea! Oh, I haven't bathed in five days. I'm so embarrassed, I must be off! Oh, I'm on my period and feeling unwell. Please excuse me! The emperor: If you don't show up for work, I'm docking your monthly pay! * Poor Emperor of Great Zhou. Three years into his reign, he's still a virgin and hasn't even held a concubine's hand. The emperor, looking pitiful: Consort Jing, will you hold my hand? Just once, just for a little bit!
