The bad news: Qiao Zhixia transmigrated into a book, landing on the very day the cannon-fodder beauty was sent to the cold palace.
The good news: A bolt of lightning struck, and she and the bastard emperor Pei Jingheng switched bodies on the spot?
Turns out becoming emperor without lifting a finger is pretty sweet.
Pei Jingheng advises her on matters of state, while she helps him handle the harem’s power struggles.
But gradually, Qiao Zhixia realizes that Pei Jingheng is thriving in the harem, becoming more and more adept at palace intrigue. He is even stealing the spotlight from the original heroine.
Qiao Zhixia: ...Maybe it’s time to raise his rank.
Pei Jingheng never imagined that he would go from the supreme ruler, high above everyone else, to the lowly Beauty Qiao.
Even less did he expect that his once gentle and kind concubines had another side: sharp-tongued, cruel, and ruthless.
The tyrant gave a cold laugh. Fine, he’d show them the full force of his strength and methods.
After they happily switched back, Qiao Zhixia gleefully prepared to leave the palace and enjoy her freedom as planned.
But the tyrant Pei Jingheng held her firmly in his arms. “You’ve had your way with my body. You can’t just refuse to take responsibility! Stay. I’ll dismiss the entire harem and dote on you alone.”
