The Zombie Empress's Promotion Diary

Lin Wanwan had been a zombie for ten years before she starved to death. When she opened her eyes, she found herself transmigrated into the body of a low-ranking consort who had fallen out of favor.

Lin Wanwan: She's human again! She can eat!

After eating three jin and eight liang of meat, one jin and eight liang of vegetables and meat, and five chickens, Lin Wanwan realized she was still hungry. Maybe she had spoken too soon about being human...

Lin Wanwan: Please bring more food.

The eunuch from the Imperial Household Department smiled politely. "Lady Lin, this is all your rank entitles you to. You're down to five packets of tea now. If you were a Noble Lady, you could have duck. A Concubine gets milk, and a Consort gets twice the allowance. As for a Noble Consort, Imperial Noble Consort, or Empress, heh, those are beyond your reach."

In short, the higher your rank, the better you eat.

Lin Wanwan gulped down the tea and patted her three-tenths-full stomach. "If I want to eat my fill, I have to get promoted."

Time to go impress her boss, the Emperor!

And so...

At a banquet attended by the entire palace, the Empress Dowager and the new Emperor were at loggerheads over the choice of empress. "I want to see which woman besides a young lady from my Helan clan dares sit in the empty seat beside the Emperor!"

Lin Wanwan: "Huh? There's an empty seat?"

In full view of everyone, a young woman at the very end of the hall stood up, ambled over, plopped down, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating. She even served the Emperor two stalks of greens.

The Emperor: "She loves me so much, she's willing to defy the Empress Dowager for me! Promote her!"

During a palace rivalry, Noble Consort Helan dragged Lin Wanwan to Yanxi Palace. "I hear His Majesty has been having nightmares lately. Please copy the sutras a hundred times here to pray for his well-being, little sister."

Lin Wanwan: "Will I be fed? If not, I can't copy them."

Noble Consort Helan agreed disdainfully, but before the afternoon was over, the palace's chief eunuch came weeping. "Your Highness, please make her leave! She ate your entire food allowance for the next six months!"

Noble Consort Helan went to the Emperor and wept as she complained.

After hearing her out, the Emperor blushed. "What? She copied sutras to pray for my well-being! Promote her!"

When rebels attacked, their leader threatened the Emperor with a bloody corpse in the main hall. "Emperor, you're scared by this little bit of blood? Do you deserve to rule the world?"

As the palace consorts screamed and the guards glared furiously, Lin Wanwan put away the half-eaten bun, calmly stood up, grabbed a knife, and performed an autopsy on the bloody corpse across from her. She snapped at the rebel leader, "Who are you trying to scare with that tough-guy act?"

The rebel leader threw up. Lin Wanwan put down the knife, found a place to sit, pulled out her bun, wiped it off, and went on eating.

The Emperor had had a backup plan all along and had been breathing steadily. Now, he secretly glanced at her little face smeared with crumbs, his heart racing. Is this what love feels like? Promote her!

The tallest tree catches the wind. This little zombie needs to keep a low profile.

At first, Lin Wanwan only wanted to double her allowance. Becoming a Consort would be enough.

But she never expected to overdo it and become the Empress with the most generous allowance in all history.
