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!

"How can you not touch her? She's just a minor Noble Lady. How can she be compared to you, Your Highness?"


The rank of Wanyi was two levels higher than concubine. She saw Jiang Xian as a thorn in her side, wanting nothing more than to get rid of her. But she also understood that the more one did, the more mistakes one made, so it was better to incite the Noble Princess Consort to do the dirty work. As soon as the words left her mouth, the Noble Princess Consort shot her a slow, deliberate gaze. "Are you an idiot, or do you take me for one?"


Ma Wanyi lowered her head, not daring to even breathe too loudly.


Noble Princess Consort Rong propped her chin on her hand.
