Jiang Weizhen, a corporate drone one year out of college, female, and interested in money, has just transmigrated.
Her initial investigation reveals that this is a world based on melodramatic romance novels, and not just one of them.
So, at a banquet, Jiang Weizhen watches as
In the left corner, the empress dowager, her face flushed, has the regent gripping her waist and making love to her.
On the right, the young emperor holds the chin of a princess from a fallen kingdom as they gaze at each other, torn between love and hate.
Across the room, the powerful chancellor holds the hand of the new top scholar's wife beneath the table, teasing her relentlessly.
Behind her, the little princess plays a game of stepping on the hands of a slave who was an enemy kingdom's young general just two days ago.
From the heads of the three departments and six ministries to those of the two provinces and four bureaus, every high-ranking official has a love story. Looking across the court, there are hardly any people actually doing their jobs.
She is stunned: How is this dynasty still standing?
She is furious: This dynasty is doomed sooner or later!
She thinks it over: In that case, I'll let them all pursue happiness while I alone claim a land stretching thousands of miles and enjoy boundless solitude.
Her goal is clear, the route laid out, and the plan moving along steadily. Jiang Weizhen thinks she's got this in the bag.
Then the sky screen appears.
The various protagonists watch as the territory continues to expand, a golden age unfolds with envoys from every nation paying tribute, highways stretch in every direction, towering buildings rise, and powerful gunpowder weapons appear one after another...
[Your Majesty, whether you are my royal child, my elder sister, or my Highness, you have extraordinary potential and were born to be emperor!]
So Jiang Weizhen reluctantly dons the imperial robes. "I, your sovereign, had no intention of rebelling. My ministers simply insisted."
