Chen Wanchu, a well-known journalist, dies unexpectedly and transmigrates into the Qianlong era, becoming the long-lived Consort Wan, Chen, who will outlive Emperor Qianlong.
At the time, Qianlong has only just ascended the throne, and she is still a low-ranking concubine.
So a clear-eyed modern woman finds herself amid the famous, cutthroat battle for the emperor's favor.
As long as you stay calm, you can live to ninety-nine!
But spending every day playing mahjong and chatting with her friends, and helping them look after their babies, makes for a pretty dull life.
She picks up her newly made taro-mochi milk tea and takes a big slurp~

"Hey, have you heard? Consort Chun pushed Lady Bai down the stone steps. Lady Bai miscarried on the spot!"
"Consort Chun is kneeling outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation right now, crying that she's innocent!"
[Beep beep~ Congratulations, Host, you've been bound to the Harem Rescue System.]
At the news, Chen Wanchu dashes to the front line, reviving her old gossip-hunting ways as she secretly investigates those involved.
But she discovers that there is more to Lady Bai's miscarriage than meets the eye.
And that's not all. The harem is full of vicious schemes and melodramatic cases of wrongful accusation. To fight for justice (and complete her missions), she anonymously creates the Palace Secrets Gazette.
The very next day, the gossip about Lady Bai's miscarriage makes the front page of the Palace Secrets Gazette. Every lady in the palace gets a copy, and the whole Forbidden City is abuzz!
The paper lays out clues and evidence in clear detail. Under pressure from public opinion within the palace, the Empress immediately orders a thorough investigation, and it turns out to be true!
Consort Chun: What is going on? I've been cleared just like that?!

Three months after launching the Palace Secrets Gazette, Chen Wanchu receives a reward from the System and makes a fortune. She gleefully wolfs down a freshly made plate of big-plate chicken, grease smudged on her cheek.
[Congratulations, Host, you've successfully completed your mission. Rewards: Level Up +1, Coins +10.]
An edict appointing her as a Noble Lady, along with a reward, arrives soon after.
Well, would you look at that! She's winning without lifting a finger!
As she lies around enjoying the easy life, she suddenly notices that some people in the palace are looking at her strangely.
It turns out she's not the only person who has transmigrated into this palace!
One day, her familiar-looking ex-husband rushes toward her with red eyes.
"Wanchu, I've finally found you."
A prince pins her in a corner. "I told you I'd turn the whole world upside down to find you!"
Emperor Qianlong looks up at her as she grinds ink with her head lowered. "Do you know why I chose you back then?"
Chen Wanchu: System, I want to go home QAQ
#What do you do when you run into the best friend you fell out with years ago after transmigrating?
#How I spread rumors about my puppy-like ex-husband to avoid being summoned to the emperor's bed.
#How a big shot fell in love with me at first sight because of my appetite!
Reader's guide:
1. This is entirely fictional, with many original character interpretations.
2. Focuses on the harem ensemble cast, with a light, everyday tone.
3. The heroine doesn't compete for favor. She's a little playgirl~ There are other transmigrators besides her.
