Blurb:

Xia Yanmo always thought she was pretty lucky.

Although she died unexpectedly while conducting research, she transmigrated;

although she was bound to a quest System after transmigrating, all the System asked her to do was live a carefree life;

although it was hard to live a long, carefree life in the imperial harem, she...

swapped souls with the emperor.

Xia Yanmo says: Being emperor is hard work, but having absolute power over everyone is incredibly satisfying.

The emperor who transmigrated into her body and has a terrible temper?

Sorry, I don't really know him. (Not really.)

After years of fighting to become crown prince, Xiao Yunzheng finally rose above a pack of wolves and tigers and claimed the throne.

Then, after getting drunk one night, he opened his eyes and found himself a lowly palace maid. The Noble Consort tormented him, and even the palace servants dared to give him attitude.

Unable to switch back and never having put up with this sort of treatment before, Xiao Yunzheng thought: I managed to seize the throne. How hard can it be to seize the empress's seat too?!

Just you wait. Not one of you will get away!

Years later, Xia Yanmo, now empress and the unrivaled favorite of the court, looked at her crown prince son, whose eyes were full of adoration as he praised how hard she had worked to carry him for ten months. She guiltily looked away.

Actually... it wasn't that hard...

Upcoming story: "Socially Anxious Side Character, but My Online Friend Is the Male Lead"

He Xi is shy, socially anxious, and quiet. Usually, you couldn't get a word out of her with a stick. But she transmigrates into a book as the vicious female lead's lackey, the sort who has to suck up to her and sing her praises.

He Xi, who usually hides behind a cool, aloof persona: ...

This introvert is quietly dying inside...

--

After observing the situation, He Xi realizes there are countless occasions when she's expected to speak, including but not limited to: aggressively putting down the heroine, constantly praising the antagonist, and fawning over the male lead at every opportunity...

He Xi: For a nationally protected useless person like me, this is honestly a bit much.

Life is so miserable that He Xi can only use studying as an excuse to avoid everything.

Luckily, her new online friend is adorable and considerate. He sends her delicious food and says he'll take care of her in the future. Every few days, he tells her how much he likes her, loves her, and worries about her.

He Xi cuddles her phone, grinning happily, completely unaware that the male lead beside her looks at her differently with every passing day.

Lu Fan is a darling of the stars, the chosen one everyone adores. The people who like him are like weeds that sprout in spring: too numerous to count and impossible to pull out.

But one day, he suddenly realizes:

Some people act like his biggest fans, but actually can't be bothered to pay him any attention!

And online, they call him the perfect male lead, someone too good for anyone to reach...

What a joke.

Did she think flattering him meant he wouldn't hold it against her?!
