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!

The Emperor didn't just talk—he reached out and took them.


He recognized the blueprints, and he remembered Jiang Xian mentioning Xihua Garden. But what was the connection?


'Anyone else would have been frustrated. *Didn't you bring this up, Your Majesty? How could you forget so completely? If you really don't remember, maybe you should jump back to Chapter 43 and see what you said!* But Jiang Xian was long accustomed to a boss who would ask for a report one week, forget it entirely the next, and then suddenly demand it the week after as if in a final burst of lucidity.'


'Don't get angry, don't get angry. He's the one who pays me a salary and even showers me with gold on the side.'


"You and I had an agreement, Your Majesty. We were to go to Xihua Garden to escape the summer heat, and you would let me personally design a small garden for the two of us to enjoy. A little world of our own, where no one else would be allowed,"
