Liu Tingyue, a laid-back college student, wakes up one day having transmigrated to ancient times as Lady Liu, a concubine confined to the Cold Palace. She is also bound to a palace-intrigue System.

System threat: You’ll die if you don’t complete your missions.

Liu Tingyue: Whatever. The missions are too hard. I choose to slack off.

System enticement: Don’t you want to make something of yourself? Complete your missions and you won’t have to stay in the Cold Palace. You can rise to a position just below The Outcast and above everyone else.

Liu Tingyue: It’s fine not to amount to much. I’m just happy to be breathing.

System: ...

The System plays its trump card: Actually, you aren’t the only one who transmigrated. Your three roommates transmigrated too.

Liu Tingyue: !!!

Then Liu Tingyue discovers, to her astonishment:

My roommate actually transmigrated as a princess?

What? Another roommate transmigrated as the Empress Dowager?

Wait, what about the last one?

“Your Majesty?!”

The four of them stare at one another. With a winning setup like this from the start, what a waste to get caught up in palace intrigue. Wouldn’t it be better to build things up?

Palace Intrigue System: ?

Also known as:

#The roommates reunite in ancient times and become a family of four

#I thought I had a palace-intrigue plot, but it turns out I got a heartwarming family plot

#I use a palace-intrigue System to build things up in ancient times

Reader’s guide:

1. Lighthearted, with an imaginary setting.

Blurb:

While buying roast duck, Cheng Xi transmigrates to ancient times, landing on the road with a group of refugees. She also gets bound to a duck-raising System. The only ones who transmigrated with her are the freshly chopped-up roast duck and Lu Li, a part-time employee at the roast duck shop.

One of them holds a roast duck, the other a knife used to chop roast duck. They stand in the middle of a crowd of refugees and stare at one another.

**

Three days later, Cheng Xi regretfully finishes chewing the last duck head she has left, then looks at Lu Li, who transmigrated with her. “Can we really survive?”

Just as Cheng Xi is about to despair, good news arrives.

The land has been pacified and a new dynasty established. Everything is waiting to be rebuilt, and anyone who registers their household can receive farmland and a home.

Cheng Xi is instantly full of energy again. She grabs the bewildered Lu Li. “Come on, let’s register!”

**

Later, a legend takes hold in the Great Zhou Dynasty: not a single duck can leave Zhenxiang Residence alive.

Roast duck, crispy duck, saltwater duck, soy-braised duck, ginger duck, eight-treasure duck...

Cheng Xi says eating makes her happy, but counting money makes her even happier!
