After transmigrating into the imperial harem as a consort, Qi Daiyu took stock of her situation: A respectable rank, with money and a home. No favor from the emperor, and a harmless, delicate disposition. Unable to have children, free to watch the drama unfold. Hmm? Isn't this a winner's life? Other than the risk of accidentally getting her whole family beheaded, being a consort was practically the perfect career for lying flat until retirement. Qi Daiyu spent her days eating, drinking, and having fun. Life couldn't be better, though it did get a little boring. Luckily, she had her phone. She watched dramas, followed anime, and read novels. She played games, mahjong, and card games. Every now and then, she could even order takeout. What a comfortable life! [Reading Guide] 1. The male lead isn't a virgin, just your ordinary emperor. 2.

His harem was full of four consorts and nine concubines, with princes and princesses running everywhere. As the new empress, she had no allies or prestige. She was nothing but a figurehead! Wen Jiao: ...Forget it. I'll just give up trying.
