Secretly Guarding the Emperor in a Qing Dynasty Novel

One day, Yang Tao opens her eyes and finds herself transmigrated into the second-ranked secret guard of the Kangxi Emperor, kept at the Imperial Household's Shangyu Spare Office.

Being a secret guard is no easy job these days.

When the emperor is in the palace, you have to fly up to the rafters and guard him on his travels.

When the emperor goes on tour, you have to hold his lantern, catch fish and birds, and drive his carriage.

When the emperor gives an order, you have to investigate suspicious people and eliminate criminals...

After working herself to the point of looking like the world-famous painting The Scream, the Heaven-ranked secret guard earns an annual salary of just 300 taels, sleeps rough, and spends her days staring up at the ceiling.

Fortunately, Yang Tao has a secret-guard clairvoyance System. All she has to do is watch the scenes the System gives her along the way, and she can earn all sorts of delicious food and perks.

[Watch the Kangxi Emperor get chewed out by the Old Ancestor until he acts like a grandson. Reward 1: Ten servings of oden. Reward 2: Stamina increased by two times.]

[Watch the Kangxi Emperor get peed on by the Crown Prince, Yinreng. Reward 1: Two cans of cola. Reward 2: Physical strength increased by five times.]

[Watch the Kangxi Emperor rush to Jingren Palace on a snowy night and weep with remorse as he holds the feverish Fourth Prince, Yinzhen. Reward 1: A full spread of Cantonese dim sum. Reward 2: Immunity to all poisons.]

At first, Yang Tao thought the System was making things difficult for her.

Later, she became adept at flying up to the rafters every day, with popcorn and cola ready, to watch the show at the appointed time.

Ever since the emperor got a new female secret guard, Kangxi had been hearing strange voices.

The voice would tell him to do things that made him look ridiculous. When he tried them, he received tremendous benefits, such as "Stamina increased by 5 points," "Physical strength increased by 20 points," and "One type of poison has no effect."

Kangxi busied himself with great enthusiasm.

Until one day, two System notifications sounded in his ears at the same time.

Kangxi: ?

So after all that effort, everything I got was just the junk Yang Tao didn't want?

Theme: Allocation and redistribution are subjects of great importance.
