Also known as The Palace Maid's Rise to Power.
Zhao He opened her eyes and found she had transmigrated into the body of a palace maid surnamed Wei in the Qianlong Emperor's reign.
Key points: Qianlong era, surname Wei.
But there was nothing special about that. Zhao He soon discovered that she wasn't the only palace maid in the palace with the surname Wei.
Well, it seemed the heroine's role wasn't meant for her. Zhao He decided to quietly do her job as a palace maid and help her mistress, then leave the palace and live her own life when she came of age.
Who knew the transmigration protagonist rule would kick in? The next day, Zhao He accidentally became bound to a livestream System. It claimed that if she completed livestream tasks and earned tips from viewers, she could unlock hidden features and activate a cross-dimensional food delivery System.
Zhao He looked at the bowl in her hands, which had barely two ounces of meat in it, then thought of all the fried chicken, barbecue, hot pot, and spicy blood curd she could eat. Her fighting spirit soared.
Let's stream! Dear viewers, we're starting right now!
…
Zhao He cheerfully opened the livestream, entered the title [The Palace Maid's Rise to Power], and immediately put on a performance of Qing dynasty palace maid antics for her dear viewers.
The number of viewers shot up, and comments came one after another.
[Didn't you say this was a palace maid? That's a man!]
[The costumes and makeup are pretty good. Is this a TV drama trailer?]
[Oh my god, this guy's kind of handsome. He can even pull off that Qing dynasty hairstyle! I need all his info in three minutes!]
Zhao He: ? What man? What's going on?

After testing things out a few times, Zhao He finally realized that even though the livestream was bound to her, the main character was her immediate superior: the Qianlong Emperor, whom historians called the most perfect political machine in feudal society.
Ridiculous. She might as well shut down the livestream.
But... this was food delivery!
After a long struggle, Zhao He finally gave in to temptation and opened the livestream again.
Well, if you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who'll know she's streaming the emperor?
Right, Director Zhang?

Qianlong's life had gone exceptionally smoothly. He always got whatever he wanted, but for the first time, he stumbled because of a palace maid.
At first, all he wanted was to find the "palace maid" those mysterious people kept talking about.
But as he searched, he ended up losing his heart as well.

At the ceremony where she was named a consort, Qianlong smiled as he watched the delight she could hardly hide, then suddenly asked, "Are you really that happy?"
Zhao He nodded again and again. "Yes!"
Qianlong's heart warmed. He was about to pull her into his arms when he heard that strange voice again:
"Hey, the streamer changed the livestream title to [A Consort's Daily Life]."
Qianlong: ...Actually, [A Day in the Cold Palace] sounds pretty good, too.
What do you think, my consort?
Theme: Anything is possible.
