A Qing Dynasty Life: It's Good to Be the Empress

She transmigrates into the role of Qianlong's second empress. Fortunately, it's still early, with years to go before she is deposed.

Wu Yu says she's not interested in that pig-footed emperor. She just wants to lie flat and enjoy a life of wealth and comfort.

But the concubines are itching for a fight, jumping out to scheme for power and eager to trample her and her son underfoot.

After twenty-five years as a homeroom teacher, Wu Yu glances at the concubines, so sure of victory, and pulls out a math test. Want power over the palace? Take the test first!

And so the palace's math class begins.

The arrogant Qianlong: I absolutely refuse to believe my concubines are fools. They must be the smartest women in all of Great Qing!

Consort Ling, her eyes swimming after working through problem after problem: The empress is a demon!
