The Noble Consort Is Stirring Up the Harem Again

[Hilarious harem + lighthearted comfort read + everyone breaks the mold + mind reading + devoted couples] After transmigrating, Jiang Baishao starts competing her way through palace intrigue under the System’s relentless prodding. She expects a proper palace-intrigue story, but… Jiang Baishao fakes a pregnancy and miscarriage to frame another consort: The Empress is the first to step forward: “I did it!” Consort Hui: “No, no, I pushed her!” Consort Min: “Stop talking nonsense. I’m the one who burned musk incense!” The falsely accused consort: “Your Majesty is so good to me. I have to take the blame myself!” Jiang Baishao: “??? Are you all doing this wrong?” * The emperor, Meng Yan, suddenly discovers that he’s awakened the ability to read minds. He used to think all the women in his harem respected and loved him. Then one day, he hears a few of their thoughts. The Empress: “His Majesty is such a pervert. I’d better go to the Cold Palace and start living like a widow early.” Consort Min: “His Majesty? Why should I care how he feels? He’s just a powerless nobody.” Consort Hui: “Don’t be afraid. His Majesty can’t beat us.” Meng Yan: “That’s right, that’s right. I’m just a powerless, useless emperor. What about it?” * Jiang Baishao: “…This emperor and his consorts are impossible to manage. None of them get with the program. Why won’t anyone compete?” The System says that if she wants to slack off, all she has to do is kill the emperor and she can retire in comfort. But the emperor, who hears every word, says: “Rongrong, I truly love you. How can you bear to kill me?”
