I'm the Emperor's Fiercest Consort. What's Wrong with Being a Little More Arrogant?

[Harem intrigue + clear-eyed heroine]

Jing Shuhua, the illustrious Noble Consort of Great Qing, who ruled the imperial harem with an iron fist,

transmigrated into the most spineless Consort Shun of Great Xia.

The former Consort Shun was as mild as a chrysanthemum, asking only for the Emperor's favor.

When palace maids provoked her, she neither scolded them nor got angry.

When a favored consort made things difficult for her, she bit her lip and couldn't even defend herself.

Jing Shuhua couldn't help cursing aloud:

"What a fool, choosing to suffer for no reason! Someone like you dares to share my name? How unlucky."

When a junior consort came demanding pastries, Jing Shuhua unleashed a flurry of blows, and the woman went back in tears with a face swollen like a pig's.

When a favored consort sent assassins after her, Jing Shuhua turned the tables and sent that consort straight to hell.

When the Empress targeted her at every turn, Jing Shuhua sneered. "If the Empress's seat is so uncomfortable, get down. I'll take it!"

After that, everyone in the harem thought Jing Shuhua had gone mad.

The consorts went to complain to the Emperor, but not only was Jing Shuhua not banished to the Cold Palace, her rank kept rising.

The Emperor kept finding himself running to Jing Shuhua's palace.

Looking at the increasingly splendid robes she wore, Jing Shuhua thought, Great, now I can rule the harem with an iron fist again!
