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!

It had been a long time since Noble Princess Consort Rong had lost her composure like this.


She glanced down at her snow-white fingertips, shocked and suspicious, then looked up at Jiang Xian. Jiang Xian stood below, letting her look, her expression as placid as ever. This only made the Noble Princess Consort seem more flustered. She commanded, "Ma Wan Yi, go and touch her face."


Despite her internal grumbling, her body faithfully carried out the order. She reluctantly touched the other concubine's face. But this Shu Changzai was so thick-skinned that not only did she not flinch, she even leaned in a little with a smile.


Ma Wan Yi cautiously touched her cheek.
