[Qing Dynasty + Dream of the Red Chamber] The Empress Is a Data Geek

The simple version:

Kangxi's empress, Hesheli Zhulan, has arrived with her golden finger (beta version).

Ever since Lin Zhaoran joined the Space-Time Bureau, she'd been coveting the Energy Extraction System. Before her 250th mission, she made a System of her own.

The political scheming version:

Lin Zhaoran, an outstanding Space-Time Bureau employee with a System interface, enters a Qing dynasty and Dream of the Red Chamber crossover world as Hesheli Zhulan.

From the moment she steps into the Forbidden City, she begins meticulously manipulating the fate of the dynasty in the form of a twelve-year-old girl, through a triply divided narrative of speech, action, and thought. She strives to push the world's progress forward and collect its scattered energy crystals, first to pay off her debts, and then to keep paying them off sustainably.

The story is built around the emperor and empress's dual narrative of what is seen and unseen, deeply combining the entanglements of the inner and outer courts across two generations, Kangxi and Yinreng, with the fantastical premise of changing fate through a System.

Amid the emotional climaxes of emperor and empress raising swords against each other, parent and child turning against one another, and sisters tearing each other apart, the heroine's grand scheme to dismantle feudal imperial power with rational code is revealed. It paints an epic tale of dynastic change where the priorities are "mostly making money, then doing business, and, last of all, avoiding feelings," with data and political scheming intertwined, and warmth coexisting with betrayal.

The hilarious version:

Zhulan (System in hand, a white lotus on the surface, programmer at heart):

"Your Majesty, look how exquisite the embroidery on this dragon robe is! Oh, and by the way, I slipped some canal transport reform code into your memorials. Don't forget to leave me a five-star review, dear!" (While feeding Kangxi medicine, she furiously types on the System interface: [Hallucinogen dosage x1.5, Emperor's bewilderment +200])

Kangxi (from enlightened ruler to irritable old bro, manipulated until he questions his sanity):

"I clearly meant to approve this memorial. Why did the brush write 'Refer to Zhulan for reconsideration' all by itself?!" (Chasing Zhulan in circles with his sword) "Speak! Did you change my decision-making stat again? Can this stupid System even be used anymore?!"

Oboi (an old land-grabbing hand, a data-struck former court bigwig who gets written out early):

"Hmph, about the matter of exchanging land for the Bordered Yellow Banner... Huh? Why is the Governor-General of Zhili suddenly standing up to me? Ge Bula, you old fox, you were still drinking tea yesterday!" (The System window suddenly flashes red) "What? My 'authoritarianism score' has been cut to 15? Who's behind this big-data assassination?!"

Yinreng (a crown prince driven to villainy by his mother, a severe victim of The Prince):

"Mother said Western learning can make the country strong... Wait, what's hidden inside this glass lamp? The Prince?!" (Slams the table) "So being emperor means starting with political scheming! Mother, why didn't you say so earlier? I'll go stage a rebellion right now. Wait, Mom, why did you sell my plan to Father?!"

Yinzhen (Fourth Prince, traumatized by all the medicine he's been fed, a villain-in-the-making with a loyalty score of 95):

"The medicine Mother gave me is so sweet..." (His gaze slowly turns vacant) "I... I must be loyal to the Empress..." (Suddenly goes berserk) "But did you put a 'loyalty booster' in this medicine?! Give me back my independent personality!" (Pulls out iron chains) "Today, I'm locking up the System Host!"

Consort Yi (a hapless victim whose turn comes a little late, going from deep sisterly affection to being handed the knife):

"The sachet my sister gave me smells so lovely~ Wait, why are there records of my family's corruption in this lining?!" (Screaming furiously as she's dragged away) "Hesheli Zhulan! You said you'd protect me! You used your System to sink this little boat of palace friendship, didn't you?!"

The System (a behind-the-scenes big shot, quietly taking the blame):

"Detecting an emotional breakdown among all parties. Initiating the 'Civilizational Leap' program... Hey, Host, what do you mean by embroidering 'Democratic Republic' into your phoenix crown lining? This plot is wilder than my code!" (Final pop-up) "Warning! This System is about to be forced into a reformat by the heroine's outrageous antics!"

(Voice-over: When the young Lin Zhaoran transmigrates into the Kangxi era with a System, palace intrigue is no longer about crying, giggling, and laughing. It's political scheming like a programmer fixing bugs. Did someone change your stats today?)
