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 had been in a foul mood lately, refusing all visitors who brought soups or snacks. As a result, the number of palace maids from various residences waiting outside Qiankun Palace had dwindled significantly. This also meant the gatekeeping eunuchs had fewer opportunities to lord their power over the maids and accept bribes.


Today, Changxi, who was on duty, spotted a palace maid jogging toward him. He inwardly rejoiced, preparing to lecture her. 'The Emperor is busy! Who do you think you are? What is your status? He's not seeing anyone! I won't pass on a message even if you give me silver!'


Princess Consort Zhang, Lu Ronghua, Guo Xiao Yi, and Ma Ronghua were among those who gave a lot.


"Eunuch Changxi, this is a dish made by Lady Shufei herself. May I ask if it can be sent in to the Emperor? Please also pass on a message: Lady Shufei misses the Emperor."


The moment he heard the words "Pure Consort," Changxi deflated.
