Niu Huiyue had just celebrated her thirty-fifth birthday when she suddenly dropped dead in the office. When she opened her eyes again, she had become Niohuru, Kangxi's second empress.
Niu Huiyue blinked, then lay back down. Her knowledge of the Qing Dynasty was limited to the struggle among the princes to become heir.
But she did have some ideas about how to be a second empress. For example: lie flat?
In the position of second empress, doing nothing was safer than working hard. As long as she didn't bring disaster upon herself, her position as empress was secure.
As for the crown prince left behind by the former empress, Niu Huiyue said it had nothing to do with her. Old Kang could raise him however he liked.
She had already died once from overwork. Now that she'd finally been given a brand-new, luxurious life, no one was going to stop her from lying flat.
Just let her be a salted fish, a salted fish, a salted fish.
But why did Kangxi trust her more the more she lay flat?
He even brought the crown prince over for her to raise?
Niu Huiyue said, "I don't want to be saddled with motherhood like this."
But Kangxi was too enthusiastic. He said, "There are many princes in the palace with no one to raise them. You are the empress I trust most, so you can raise all these children."
The people in the harem also chimed in, "The empress is the fairest of us all. We're happy to entrust our princes to her care."
Niu Huiyue: "No! I'm just a salted fish!"
The female lead probably won't have children, and the crown prince will most likely ascend the throne.
