【Time Travel + Workplace Competition + No Lazing Around + Ambitious Female Lead】... more>>

Overachiever Shen Wei traveled through time and found herself as the lowest-ranking maid in the grand residence of the Yan Prince.

The Yan Prince held a prestigious position, but his consorts were all content to live dull lives. The noble-born princess consort was as tranquil as a chrysanthemum; the concubine sought a life of monogamy; the reincarnated woman was utterly disillusioned with the Yan Prince and had given up on striving for anything; and the other timid concubines dared not make a move...

The queen of workplace competition, Shen Wei, declared: Don't stop me! I'm going to outwork these unambitious slackers!

...

The Yan Prince had grown accustomed to the stagnant atmosphere in his harem, until a particularly skilled courtesan appeared.

This concubine was stunningly beautiful, adept at both literature and dance, hardworking, and always brought him fresh excitement. The Prince couldn't help but take a second, then a lifetime-long, look at her.

Years later, Shen Wei became the all-powerful Imperial Noble Consort, with children and the emperor's exclusive favor.

Meanwhile, the princess consort remained as tranquil as ever; the concubine was aging and had yet to experience a monogamous life; and the reincarnated woman was still eating simple meals in her modest abode...

After half a lifetime of striving, Shen Wei finally reached retirement and revealed her true nature, fully embracing a life of leisure. The retired emperor interjected: "You competed for favor just to retire?"

Shen Wei snacked on melon seeds: "What else?"

Living is all about retirement!

The retired emperor was even more surprised to find, in midlife, that other men were vying for his wife's affections! <<less

In the book, the concubines fought to the death and were offline one after another. The princes died or were disabled, and none of them survived.

In the end, the throne fell into the hands of a sinister and s*upid clan member, and soon, it was destroyed by the enemy country.

The nine princesses and their daughters were poisoned to death at the palace banquet where the concubines competed.

Ji Jinyou counted on her fat fingers, oh, there are still three months to live. It is better to live than to die, so she decided to actively save herself.

But every time she tried to change the plot, she would suffocate for no reason.

Risking the risk of almost dying, she tried several times to remind the relevant parties, but no one paid attention to her, the three-year-old baby.

Unable to change, Ji Jinyou had to give up.

Zhou An woke up one morning as the Emperor of the Qianyuan Empire. He initially thought he could revel in the company of beautiful women and wield absolute power over the world.... more>>

However, he discovered he was merely a puppet emperor, a pawn used by the Empress Dowager to maintain stability before her own ascension to the throne. He was expendable, liable to be discarded at any moment.

On the empire's borders, foreign tribes were restless, taking advantage of the new emperor's lack of authority, perceived weakness, and the ensuing chaos within the court and the country to invade. They clamored to execute the "incompetent ruler" and "save" the people of Qianyuan from their plight.

Demons wreaked havoc, ghosts ran rampant, sects proliferated, and righteous-demonic wars ravaged the land, causing widespread suffering.

Zhou An activated his cheat, the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Lighting up the harem map, he obtained the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Records.

Lighting up the main palace map, he obtained the Qianyuan Dragon Armor.

Lighting up the Eastern Palace map, he obtained the Son of Heaven Swordplay.

Lighting up the Western Palace map, he obtained the Universe Steps.

Cheng Wanyun died suddenly. After traveling to the past, she barely enjoyed any good days before being labeled as a low-ranking concubine in the Yuqing Palace.... more>>

Cheng Wanyun: "..."

Everyone knows that the life of Yinreng ends in misery. But now, Yinreng is still a young man, only fifteen years old—handsome, bright, gentle, and proud of himself.

Cheng Wanyun calculated and found that there were at least twenty more years before Yinreng would be imprisoned and die.

So... she decided to lie down for now. If it’s a waste, then so be it. Anyway, she wasn’t going to move.

Let them imprison him, what’s the difference where she lies down?

Others were busy vying for favor, dancing in the garden in winter wearing thin silk. Cheng Wanyun was curled up by the stove, watching the snow while nibbling on delicious roast duck.

Others were busy scheming for power, secretly sowing discord to incite punishment in the palace. Cheng Wanyun was raising her child, taking care of cats and dogs.

Others were busy forming factions, with the First Consort and Second Consort standing in opposition. Cheng Wanyun was sipping on milk tea, playing cards: "Boom!"

She had unknowingly reached the forty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign and finally wondered: Why hadn’t she been discarded yet?

After Yinreng accepted Cheng Gege (Low-ranking concubine) as his concubine, he slept with her, occasionally having strange dreams, all of which came true. Over time, he remembered more and more. It turned out those were his past life memories—conflict with his father, infighting with his brothers, the early death of a younger brother, his eventual downfall, and his death in isolation.

Despite his fragmented memories, he cautiously navigated every step, walking on thin ice. Meanwhile, Cheng Gege... slept soundly without a care.

Yinreng: So angry.

But he still gently lowered his head and tucked the blanket around her.

Perhaps the divine heavens knew his path would be full of hardship, so they blessed him with a small lucky star. He was bloodied, wielding a sword through the battlefield, while she was his peaceful haven, his paradise. <<less

“If I tell you to go east, you can’t ignore me and go west,” the Prince added.

“Yes,” she nodded. If she can’t go west, north or south works fine too.

“You are NOT allowed to have an affair with other men!” the Prince emphasized.

“Naturally,” she said. Why would she have an affair with others when they could just have it with her?

Qu Tan’er has transmigrated into the body of a noble young lady and forced to marry the ice-cold 8th prince. Her only care in this world is finding a way to get back to her original world, and dealing with all the politics and intrigue surrounding the marriage is just a distraction.

[Traditional palace struggle novel] ... more>>

In the fifth year of the Cheng'an era, a grand selection was held throughout the country.

Shen Ji was one of the most outstanding candidates from the Lingzhou region, known for her exceptional beauty. Her features were delicate, and her skin was as fair as jade. Her eyes were especially striking, with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye that made her look captivating.

She had a gentle and charming personality, which made people want to pamper her. After gaining favor, she spent three consecutive nights with the Emperor and was quickly promoted from a lowly cairen to the prestigious Baolin, becoming the most favored concubine in the palace.

When Lin Guifei pretended to be ill to gain attention, Shen Ji covered up the coldness in her eyes and leaned against the Emperor's knee, looking up at him with tears in her eyes: "Will you come back to me, Your Majesty?"

Qin Yuan's heart softened, and he, who was normally taciturn, rolled his throat and changed his mind: "Yes, Zhen won't leave."

Shen Ji was born into a humble family and had seen many men in her life. She knew what she wanted: the Emperor's favor, wealth, and prestige. She wanted to change her fate and rise from a lowly status to the top of the imperial hierarchy.

Everyone in the palace said that Shen Ji's favor was due to her good fortune, but only she knew that her journey from a commoner to a imperial concubine was a precarious one, like walking on thin ice.

Qin Yuan was a ruthless and heartless emperor who had never put any woman in his heart, always doing as he pleased. He initially favored Shen Ji because she was obedient and beautiful, and being around her made him feel at ease.

However, he couldn't explain why his gaze always seemed to linger on her subconsciously.

Meng Xu, a descendant of loyal martyrs, possessed a face as radiant as peach blossoms in full bloom, her beauty blazing like a torch.... more>>

Tragically, the young master she was betrothed to had eyes only for her younger sister. When Meng Xu dissolved their engagement, she became a laughingstock amongst noblewomen.

Yet, less than two months later, rumors spread that Meng Xu would be formally invited to enter the palace.

How could a mere official’s child compare to the Son of Heaven’s majestic bearing?

Who was truly looking down on whom?

As Meng Xu walked across the spring-decked imperial path into Liang Palace, every eye turned to watch her. She moved with such natural grace it seemed this place had always been hers.

Everyone speculated on her purpose for coming.

Even the most exalted man in the world asked her, “Why do you wish to enter the palace?”

Meng Xu countered, “Having witnessed Your Majesty’s peerless grace, how could I settle for another’s pearls? Among all men in the world, who but you is worthy of my devotion?”

The young emperor had ascended the throne in his teens, his jade-like face concealing a heart as inscrutable as the heavens. Beauties came and went at his side, leaving none certain of his true affections.

Though imperial hearts are impenetrable, Meng Xu’s greatest gift lay precisely in deciphering them.

Beautiful Lady, Imperial Concubine, Zhao-yi, Noble Consort…

Later, they would say she was the most splendid and enduring flower to bloom at the Emperor’s side.

Meng Xu, however, had no desire to be a flower.

Flowers knew only of fragility and beauty, their fate subject to others’ whims, their glory fading in a single night.

If Meng Xu was to choose, she would be Great Liang’s flower observer, standing beside the Emperor.

To witness all beauty’s splendor, to delight in endless joy without decline. <<less

Lin Lang lived like a dog in her previous life, struggling her entire life. In the end, when she got sick, she was passed around like a football. She dedicated herself wholeheartedly and selflessly, but ended up a joke!... more>>

At the time of her death, Lin Lang vowed that she would never be a saint again in any lifetime. Unexpectedly, she obtained an unexpected System and began to train in various small worlds!

To deal with extraordinary people, one must use extraordinary means. Evil people have their own evil people to grind them down!

The female lead is not a white lotus. She will use any means to complete her tasks. To deal with evil people, one must use the same evil methods. The female lead does not love anyone; she only loves herself in this life!

A selfish and self-serving quick transmigration character, a quick transmigration character who respects only herself, and even a quick transmigration character who likes to solve problems with her fists!

Is human nature inherently evil? Or is it inherently good?

***

The sandalwood canopy bed, carved with flowers and painted with birds, exuded an understated luxury that did little to soothe the turmoil within Lin Lang.

One moment, she was a woman betrayed, dying in a world that had chewed her up and spat her out. The next, she was Mingzhu, a Borjigit noblewoman destined for the Emperor's Harem, a gilded cage where beauty was currency and ambition, a dangerous game. But Lin Lang was no Mingzhu, no starry-eyed girl dreaming of the Emperor's love.

She knew the game, the players, and the tragic end that awaited her predecessor. Armed with the memories of a life wasted on selfless devotion, Lin Lang vowed to seize control of her fate.

In this world of silk and secrets, where every smile hid a dagger and every whispered word could shatter empires, she would not be a pawn. She would be a player, and she would rewrite the sorrows of a co-wife into a symphony of power, resilience, and survival. <<less

[Dual Rebirth and Marriage Exchange + Imperial Harem Power Struggles + Non-virg*n Leads + Eventual Sole Favor + Highly Perceptive Female Lead] ... more>>

Both Shen Zhinian and her Dijie, Shen Nanqiao, were reborn.

In their past lives, Shen Zhinian was arranged by her father to marry his impoverished student, while Dijie was selected for imperial selection. Before even sharing the Emperor’s bed, she was granted the title of Guiren. The world believed that Dijie’s status was beyond compare, while her’s was utterly insignificant.

Yet who would have thought—years later, the impoverished scholar Shen Zhinian had married would achieve top honors in three consecutive imperial examinations, rise to the rank of Marquis, and be appointed as Prime Minister. She, in turn, became the youngest First-Rank titled Lady in the empire. Meanwhile, her Dijie, who had failed to gain the Emperor’s favor, spent half a lifetime struggling in the deep palace, only to meet a tragic end after being framed.

When Shen Zhinian opened her eyes once more, she found herself reborn at the moment before her betrothal. Her Dijie was eagerly vying for the chance to marry the impoverished scholar, intending to send her into the imperial selection instead. She couldn’t be more pleased.

That scholar, while talented, was arrogantly ambitious. Moreover, his household was far from welcoming—he had a harsh mother and a difficult younger sister. In their past life, the only reason he had a smooth ascent in his official career was due to her tireless efforts, painstakingly clearing the path for him.

But in this life, all the glory and prestige her Dijie coveted would never come to pass.

Besides, His Majesty was not only young and handsome, but the Empress’ seat remained vacant. Every maiden selected to enter the palace had a chance to compete for that position.

Shen Zhinian had understood since childhood that men were unreliable. She never sought true affection—only wealth and glory.

After all, how could a First-Rank titled Lady ever compare to the Mother of the Nation? In this life, she would be the one to claim unparalleled wealth and honor!

However, Shen Zhinian gradually discovered that the imperial harem harbored not only a transmigrated woman but also a raider equipped with a system.

No matter—off with their heads, and that will do!

Even so, could someone tell her why His Majesty’s gaze upon her was growing increasingly… strange? <<less

Who would have thought that just as he was about to ascend, he would be struck by tribulation lightning and die again, his cultivation completely lost, only to be reborn as a pitiful and unloved little prince of the Dacheng dynasty.

Just when he had had enough of life in the Cold Palace and was planning his escape from the imperial palace, a glowing light screen suddenly appeared in the sky above Dacheng. Everyone looked up and saw a face from the future appear in the light screen.

The streamer’s first livestream:

[The Divine Emperor Zhaodi, his virtue shines throughout the ages, surpassing the achievements of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. No emperor of later generations can compare!]

[His name — Xiao Linyuan!]

Everyone was stunned.

Jiang Wanning: That’s pretty impressive... but why does that name sound so familiar?

After thinking for a moment—wait, isn’t that... the name I have in this life?!

[Before the brothel gates, the gentleman says nothing; in a hundred lifetimes, strangers again.]

[If not for Jingde’s decree destroying Quzhao, the orchid trees would have long grown together.]

[A fortune of ten thousand taels cannot buy a single bowl of plain rice porridge.]

[The rebellion maniac’s dying words were actually, “It’s raining, I should go home to harvest the wheat”?]

[Hot gossip: How fierce can the Queen of Northern Frontier be in battle?]

…

As the livestreams continued, the spoilers about history became more and more outrageous. The people of Dacheng went from shock and numbness to simply enjoying the show.

Only Jiang Wanning: Did I curl my toes so hard from secondhand embarrassment that I carved out an entire palace today?

Not yet, but soon.

Ever since the livestreams appeared, Jiang Wanning’s inner thoughts:

#It’s another day of being blasted in the face with praise.

#You still won’t shut up today? Then I guess I’ll just shut down emotionally. <<less

An Jiu transmigrated into a little palace maid in the emperor’s palace who wanted to climb onto the dragon bed.... more>>

As soon as she opened her eyes, the tyrant stabbed the little palace maid trying to seduce him straight through the heart with a sword.

The next day, the tyrant stabbed the chief palace maid beside a concubine to death.

On the third day, the palace maid who tasted food for the emperor died from poisoning.

Being a palace maid was a high-risk job, so An Jiu decided to work hard, save a lot of money, cherish her life, and stay far away from the tyrant.

But at this moment, she suddenly heard the tyrant’s inner thoughts.

"Ahhh, so annoying, so annoying, so annoying, are these memorials written like dog sh*t? Didn't I already say no peaches, no peaches, no peaches, yet they keep asking, keep asking, keep asking every day."

An Jiu?

"Is the new palace maid an idiot? Standing there like a lampstand? Can't she see my neck is sore and not come over to give me a massage?"

An Jiu moved her feet and tentatively massaged the emperor’s shoulders...

"The desserts from the Imperial Kitchen are choking me to death, has Eunuch Li gone blind, doesn’t even know to pour me a cup of water..."

An Jiu moved over and poured a cup of tea...

Gradually, the palace maids and eunuchs in Guanghua Hall discovered that the tyrant’s temper seemed to have improved a lot...

The concubines in the harem wept with joy. His Majesty’s madness is cured. Does that mean he can now take them to bed...

"Am I a breeding horse? Making me flip nameplates every day. This is a human waist, not a pig kidney... Speaking of kidneys, now I suddenly feel like eating stir-fried kidneys..."

Thus the green nameplate was removed, and a plate of delicious kidneys was served.

An Jiu was promoted from little palace maid to a managing matron...

For the cub’s humiliation today, they would repay it in the future!

In the eyes of relatives, the cub would surely be humiliated when he arrived at Great Qing.

However, no one expected.

The most ruthless crown prince of Great Qing was now half-kneeling by the bed, coaxing the drunken cub.

“I won’t destroy your country, I won’t let you be the fallen country’s little prince.”

“Whatever you say, goes.”

The crown prince was deposed. The fourth prince ascended the throne. Her sworn enemy, Consort De, became the empress dowager. Her son, the fifth prince, was not allowed to have an important position. The ninth prince died while he was imprisoned. The eleventh prince died of an illness during infancy. Although Kangxi spoiled her with sweet words of love, he took in many women in his later years and cast her aside.

Kangxi urged the new emperor that if Consort Yi was domineering and disrespectful after he passed away, then the new emperor did not need to take his feelings into consideration.

Consort Yi: We are not going to bother.

Everyone inside and outside the palace knew that the Minister of Justice was a just and fair man, with a reputation for being strict and impartial, earning him the nickname "Iron-Faced Yanluo" (a reference to the god of the underworld). However, few people knew that his daughter, Jiang Xueyi, was a beautiful and gentle soul, with a lovely face and a kind heart.

In the harem, where women competed for the emperor's favor and plotted against each other, Jiang Xueyi stood out as a breath of fresh air, with a warm and gentle demeanor that won her many admirers. Among the 11 new women selected to enter the palace, she was the most favored by the emperor and was nicknamed "The Flower of Eloquence".

However, only Jiang Xueyi knew how difficult it was to survive in the treacherous world of the palace, where one misstep could lead to disaster. But she was careful and strategic, always thinking several steps ahead, and managed to navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries to rise through the ranks.
