Also known as How I Secured the Female Lead Role with My Social Skills

After transmigrating into a book, Ji Yue was an orphaned princess of a fallen kingdom, forced into a distant marriage, with everyone eyeing the remaining wealth and power behind her...

Palace Attendant A: The Empress is fighting with the concubines again!

Zuo Kuo: They're jealous over me. The Empress likes me.

Palace Attendant B: The Empress is discussing state affairs with the Prime Minister again!

Zuo Kuo: She's solving my problems for me. The Empress likes me.

Palace Attendant C: The Empress is sneaking around and lying in wait behind the palace again!

Zuo Kuo: She cares about me so much. She must like me!

Ji Yue: ?
