The Empress Just Wants to Be a Couch Potato

Shen Fu had worked nonstop on set for a whole year without a break. The day after becoming a Best Actress, she suddenly died.

When she opened her eyes again, she had become the vicious empress in the original novel of a drama she had once filmed. The empress was jealous of the heroine and persecuted the hero.

The empress was not only infatuated with the emperor, a supporting male character, but also obsessed with her career, and loved to oppose the hero and heroine. Unfortunately, she had been spoiled rotten since childhood. With her empty head and crude schemes, every time she clashed with the protagonists, she got face-slapping after face-slapping.

In the end, the emperor poisoned her, and the people cursed her name. What a miserable fate.

Shen Fu: I came back to life, but not quite.

She didn't want to live the empress's life of palace intrigue, and she certainly didn't want to follow her old path of working herself to death. So she decided to:

Lie flat!

Fight for power in the palace? No!

Work herself to the bone? No!

Now that she's empress, isn't it much better to spend her days eating, drinking, and having fun, while teasing the handsome young eunuchs?

Before long, everyone in the palace noticed the empress's change. The emperor grew suspicious and sent people to keep an eye on Shen Fu. Then...

Emperor: "What has the empress been doing these past few days?"

Spy: "Today, Her Majesty played cards with Consort Xian and won a thousand taels."

Emperor: "...What about yesterday?"

Spy: "Yesterday, Her Majesty competed with Lady Li in cricket fighting and won eight hundred taels."

Emperor: "..."

The next day, a new rule was issued in the palace: consorts were forbidden from gathering to gamble!

Shen Fu was bored. Luckily, the annual hunt was just around the corner, so she excitedly brought snacks, storybooks, and a handsome young eunuch along.

She couldn't hunt, but she could fish and have a barbecue. She was just wondering whether to add chili when the heroine disappeared!

The emperor and the hero immediately suspected Shen Fu and rushed over, full of murderous intent. They happened to see the empress enjoying a bite of grilled meat fed to her by the young eunuch.

Hero: "Is that meat from my wife...?"

Emperor: "I feel like there's a green hat on my head..."

Reader's guide:
