Blurb:
Liu Xiange worked at a major tech company on a 9-to-9, six-days-a-week schedule for ten years, until she finally died from overwork and successfully transmigrated.
She became the least favored little princess of all, born to a palace maid who had neither a title nor even a name.
She decided to cozy up to the Crown Prince and live the life of a carefree slacker.
Her father passed away, and a sky screen suddenly appeared.
Golden words blazed across the heavens: [The True Dragon of Northern Han, Destined by Heaven: The Seventeenth Imperial Daughter, Liu Xiange!]
A high-definition animated PV came with it, showing her future self wearing the imperial crown and ruling the world!
Liu Xiange: "???"
It must be because she stayed up late reading web novels on the System yesterday and didn't get enough rest.
The next day, a crowd of tearful generals and ministers dropped to their knees with a clatter. Somehow, they'd gotten hold of a yellow robe and scrambled to wrap it around her.
The elderly general leading them was overcome with emotion: "Your Majesty, please heed Heaven's will, ascend the throne, and save the people!"
The Crown Prince was right in front of her, and Liu Xiange had been about to cozy up to him:
"Hold on! Who are you people?! Who put this yellow robe on me?! Take a look, does this even make sense?!"
The Crown Prince bowed. "Your Majesty, please ascend the throne!!"
From then on, she constantly topped Northern Han's trending headlines:
#Shocking! The Good-for-Nothing Princess Is the Only Heir to Our Dynasty#
#Who Changed the Imperial Edict?!#
#Sky Screen Live: The Empress Is Secretly Practicing Her Escape Again Today#
Her brothers and sisters desperately tried to pull her off the throne.
Her fanatical ministers declared, "We pledge to follow Your Majesty, even unto death!"
She could only straighten her crooked crown tassels and sigh. "Let's get one thing straight. Court begins at noon, memorials must be under a hundred words, and no flowery language. Ideally, sum it all up in one sentence."
"Can the imperial kitchen add a roast leg of lamb to tonight's menu?"
[Reader's Guide]
1. This is not serious political intrigue. It's a silly, satisfying, sweet comedy with an eccentric heroine and a cast full of comedians.
2. The story is spoiled from the start. The sky screen is online throughout, posting comments and spoilers, all in the name of chaotic fun.
3. The heroine grows over time. At first, she's a carefree slacker forced to get to work. Later... maybe she'll become an idealistic slacker?
4. There may be a few consorts.
