Because they shared the same name, Su Ning transmigrated into a palace-intrigue novel.
In the novel, the male lead was a ruthless careerist.
The original owner was a workaholic through and through, rising from a seventh-rank Baolin to the rank of Worthy Consort.
As for her, she was just a naive, silly college student. She had no idea how to do any of that, so she decided to lie flat.

One day, everyone in the harem was astonished to discover that the Worthy Consort, who used to love being the center of attention, had changed
They starved themselves to lose weight, feeling dizzy and famished every day.
The Worthy Consort ate plum-blossom soup pancakes for breakfast, eight-treasure chicken with bamboo shoots, roasted quail, and braised pork knuckles for lunch, and a lamb-and-glass-noodle hot pot for dinner.
They practiced their talents for the banquet until their palms were calloused and their skin bruised from falling.
The Worthy Consort pampered herself three times a day, her skin so tender it looked like you could squeeze water from it.
They spent all day in heavy makeup and elaborate finery, waiting in the imperial garden for a chance encounter with the emperor, hot and exhausted.

Xuanyu had not returned to the harem in eight hundred years. This time, when he came back, he suddenly felt that the place had grown quiet.
As he crossed the imperial garden, he saw not a soul. Even the fish had vanished from the pond.
He only heard noise when he reached the Worthy Consort's Zhaoyang Palace.
He walked in and was astonished to see the consorts, who used to fight each other to the death, gathered together.
