Overnight, Luo Caiwei transmigrated into the Qing dynasty, becoming one of countless palace maids in the imperial harem.
The consorts spend all day pulling each other’s hair and scheming, believing that earning the emperor’s favor is the greatest honor.
What’s the fun in fighting over the emperor? Caiwei has other ambitions. She just wants to thrive in the palace, collect the imperial stipend, and live a comfortable little life of her own.
But things don’t go as she hoped. A eunuch from the Directorate of Ceremonial Service takes a liking to her and has her assigned to serve as a companion to Attendant An.
Caiwei refuses and resists with all her might, enduring every sort of torment. Just as she is about to give up, the emperor appears and saves her life.
Caiwei looks up and finds the emperor’s face strangely familiar.
Isn’t this the little eunuch who used to pet dogs and gossip with her?

[Reader Advisory]
1. The story contains original worldbuilding.
2. The story is a slow burn. The heroine is a palace maid at first and becomes a consort later.
3. This is not a sweet romance.
Theme: Fulfill your potential and create greater value.
I feel that this background is a bit far-fetched. It is obviously not suitable to be placed in the Yongzheng Dynasty.
Look at my mark! Don't buy it!!! Really, it's almost the same as not watching it.
The whole article is really unpleasant, not sweet, and not pampering. But! I still have to say that the ending was well written, and the extras were also well written. Although the heroine is very aggrieved, this is the fact. It was ancient times. In ancient times, a woman was just an ordinary maid serving as a slave. No matter how much knowledge she knows, no matter how great the contribution she can make, just because she is a woman, she is destined not to be taken seriously. What's more, the hero is still the emperor!
. . . . I have nothing to say, I was just jumping to watch it, I was baffled, you told me that this thing is the male protagonist! It makes enemies everywhere for the female protagonist, and the male protagonist seems to like Nian more, which makes the female protagonist suffer, and she can't understand the male protagonist's operations. What an unlucky thing. The heroine is talented and has something in her head. Send the heroine to the Ministry of Industry to shine! He insisted on asking the heroine to be his concubine, and even said that he wanted to protect her. What a lot of nonsense! The same goes for the female protagonist. At the cusp of the storm, the male protagonist asked her what she wanted and said she had to go back to the place where palace maids were assigned. No, sister, you are really big-hearted. You are not afraid of death. Why don't you go back to that shabby place? I'm afraid I won't let you go. You can be a palace maid for the male protagonist or go to the Ministry of Industry to build things. Being a palace maid for the male protagonist is at least safe and secure, and the Ministry of Industry can shine and shine. I really agreed to be a concubine after fixing this thing, but I jumped into the fire pit and felt a lot of grievances. Fortunately, I put it back on. I was really speechless. Reading a novel made me scratch my head.
I feel that Yongzheng's use of the heroine's line is more reasonable, but it would feel weird if there is an emotional line later.
It feels like it's a deadlock. The male protagonist has a beloved concubine that he likes, but the female protagonist doesn't like him that much. The male and female protagonists don't have deep feelings for each other. There's such a big status difference. The female protagonist has nothing but making bicycles. The male protagonist's relationship is ordinary and bland. After this, it starts to feel boring and embarrassing.
I'm convinced. If the author wants the heroine to have a career, then she should have a good career. If she wants love, she should work hard for it. It's neither good nor bad. It's disgusting and uncomfortable.
I want to see the extra story from Yongzheng's perspective [loving eyes] [loving eyes] [let me be healthy] [let me be healthy]
Suddenly I feel boring. The heroine is really boring and dull and has no IQ or EQ.
I don't understand the main plot of this novel by the author. There is no big development in career, and the relationship is vague. Concubine Nian contradicts Yongzheng in person. After that, the male protagonist still coaxes her tenderly and affectionately. The female protagonist is cautious and only needs pua when she is wronged. Does the male protagonist love the female protagonist? Yes. Where is the imperial concubine that year? I love her too. A typical feudal man wants both. They got all the benefits of modern things. The wronged heroine swallowed them all for herself and finally went back. Feudal men are not worth it.
