Jiang Xian, the ultimate corporate overachiever at a top tech company, transmigrated.

Before transmigrating, she had just sought help from a doctor for her anxiety: "I feel sick if I don't work overtime for a day, and I can't breathe properly if I take a day off. What should I do?"

A friend asked: "Is your illness contagious? Come stay at my company for a while, and spread it around!"

After transmigrating, she arrived in the slow-paced harem, where everyone was idle. 

She was going crazy from the lack of work!

So she, without a second thought, started hustling like her life depended on it.

*
An anonymous concubine: In November, when the snow was heaviest in the Capital, Jiang Daying danced in the Plum Garden every single day! Good heavens, is it necessary to work yourself to death? Vying for favor is not something we, on our measly salary, should worry about.

So that same year, Jiang Daying was promoted to the rank of Beauty, while she was still a lowly concubine.

Later, it was rumored that Consort Jiang had a bad relationship with her stepmother. After her stepmother gave birth to a son and came to the palace for an audience, the Lady gifted her a fifteen-character calligraphy piece to be hung over her step-brother's bed—Four thousand three hundred and seventy days until the imperial examination.

When it comes to making her presence known to the boss, Jiang Xian is a professional.
Have you ever seen the harem at 3 AM?
The concubines wake up at five, she at three:
While the concubines were admiring flowers, gazing at the moon, watching plays, and gossiping, she was practicing dancing, singing, and her instruments, meticulously studying the big boss's preferences. Excelling in both professional skills and flattery, Jiang Xian believed that if she continued to roll like this, the boss would surely think of her first for promotions and raises.
And the Emperor had seen countless methods of vying for favor.
Yet, he truly only remembered Jiang Xian—
This woman is so deeply in love with me!

She's a strange one, too. Best not to even talk about her.


"But I see now. The Empress is interested in Noble Lady Gu's womb."


The Empress Dowager gave a knowing, dismissive laugh, certain she had seen through it all.


Meanwhile, the palace maid Fu Jin was pleading with Jiang Xian. "The Empress said to forget it if there isn't enough time. But if I may be so bold, should Your Ladyship manage, I hope you will still give it your full attention." Back in Jianzhang Palace, Jiang Xian had pored over numerous records of past palace festivals. She possessed a near-photographic memory—the very talent she relied on for her "remote work." Jiang Xian nodded. "Don't worry. The words 'not enough time' don't exist in my vocabulary."


'Telling a King Juan there's 'not enough time' is a personal insult!'
