share time: 2025-12-12 12:34:26

Lin Xiaoman, a 996 office slave, died from overworking on a project and woke up as the newly widowed, power-holding Empress Dowager of the Great Sheng Dynasty—she holds all political authority but only wants to slack off and retire! However, the young emperor, who calls her “Mother Empress” sweetly on the surface, secretly tricks her into returning to the palace with state memorials; old ministers block her door daily begging for her regency, and even palace maids from the imperial kitchen urge her to “think of the country”. Just as Lin Xiaoman fakes illness to avoid work, she finds a love letter in the emperor’s secret memorials—turns out all those “matters requiring the Empress Dowager’s decision” are his excuses to get close to her? How did the office slave empress’s retirement plan turn into a sweet push-pull game with the young emperor?
