The CEO Plays for the Other Team in a Palace Intrigue Novel

When the Cangshi Group was on the brink of collapse, Cang Che was entrusted with saving it. She turned the tide and led her family to a comeback. But just as everything was ready and she was about to become the group's new chairwoman, she suddenly died.

After death, she was put to use a second time, sent into a palace intrigue novel where everyone had eight hundred tricks up their sleeves. She had to juggle multiple roles in the court and the harem to keep the realm stable and let the protagonists focus on their palace schemes.

In the harem, Cang Che had to become a divine doctor and saintess newly admitted to the palace. She not only had to serve as a consort, but also tend to the emperor's health and be ready to cure the consorts of poison and illness, ensuring the emperor and the palace-intrigue protagonists survived to the finale.

At court, Cang Che had to disguise herself as a man and become the new top scholar. She had to be a capable official who could govern well, care deeply for the realm and its people, work tirelessly, and remain incorruptible, handling state affairs for the emperor so he could devote himself to running from one palace to another in the harem.

In the army, Cang Che had to become the son of a powerful general, strategizing in his command tent and winning battles far away, keeping the borderlands peaceful and imperial power secure, and laying a solid foundation of peace and prosperity for the palace intrigues throughout the imperial palace!

Cang Che: Since I have to worry about all of this, shouldn't I take a turn sitting on his throne too?

System: ?

System: !

Later, Cang Che completed her mission perfectly. The realm was peaceful, the seas calm and the rivers clear, the economy flourished, and the age was more prosperous than ever!

But when the System looked at the puppet emperor imprisoned in the Cold Palace, then at Cang Che holding the empress while drafting the emperor's abdication edict, its knees nearly buckled.

Cang Che: If you're going to build a career, you might as well build the biggest one.
