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 all happened in a flash. From everyone's perspective, just as Noble Consort Rong leaped forward, Noble Lady Gu darted out from below and caught her securely. She moved with such flair, like a handsome, martial arts-trained hero from an opera. Her eyes danced with a faint smile, exuding a carefree spirit. "Were you frightened, sister? It seems this is my fault, then." She looked up. "Hurry and help your Lady rest."


When Jiang Xian wasn't deliberately using a high-pitched, childish voice to annoy the Noble Consort, her tone was much clearer and brighter.


Qiu Yun stepped forward, glaring at Jiang Xian with hatred. She helped up her Lady, whose knees had gone weak with fright, letting her lean against her as she offered soft words of comfort.


After collecting herself, Noble Consort Rong looked at her. "How did you catch me?"


"Then why did you catch me? Weren't you hoping I'd fall in the water and make a fool of myself?"
