Blurb One:
Shen Shu transmigrates into an imagined dynasty as the daughter of a high-ranking official in charge of diplomatic affairs. After working nine-to-nine, six days a week in her previous life, all she wants in this one is to lie flat.
But fate has other plans.
One day, while strolling through a garden, she catches the Dowager Empress's eye and is named the new empress. Thinking of the frail young emperor on the throne, his colorful harem, and his mother, whose style is rather like Empress Lu, Shen Shu is left in tears at the thought of entering hard mode in the imperial harem. Is this what she gets for all those long workdays?
Blurb Two:
Business magnate Zhou Yin transmigrates into a new life as the newly enthroned emperor of the Great Qian dynasty.
The Dowager Empress rules from behind the curtain, the original emperor's health is frail, and he's obsessed with beautiful women. After a long period of peace, serious troubles lurk beneath the prosperous surface.
With crises at home and abroad, the urgent priority is to enrich the country and strengthen its military.
The new emperor works from dawn to dusk, battling his mother and the powerful ministers, consolidating power, and exhausting himself in the process. He never expected that just as he was overwhelmed with work, one problem after another would erupt in the harem.
Yesterday, Consort Wan came crying and pleading for him to take her side. Today, Noble Consort Yun accused him of favoring his new love. The day after tomorrow, Consort Liu would fall ill with longing for him, hoping for a visit.
Where is my empress?
That's right, I don't have an empress yet~
A little scene:
One day after their wedding,
the emperor found himself with some free time and stepped into the imperial garden.
The spring weather was lovely, and beautiful women bloomed like flowers. One chased butterflies and bumped into him, another was admiring flowers when they happened to meet, and a third twisted her ankle and fell against him.
Unable to take it anymore, the emperor turned toward the Palace of Earthly Tranquility. There he found his empress reclining on a couch, leisurely reading a storybook.
The emperor immediately flew into a rage. "The harem is so idle, and you, Empress, have the nerve to sit around?"
"..." Shen Shu was baffled. She couldn't help asking, "What have I done wrong?"
With a frigid expression, the emperor swept out. "My harem has no place for idle people!"
A lazy little empress who can't get motivated but can't quite lie flat either x an emperor workaholic who gets annoyed at anyone taking it easy
A story about a woman and a man who transmigrate and join forces to revitalize their home, and about a workaholic and someone against overwork.
