Lin Xiaoman, a modern 996 office worker, died from staying up late to watch a political drama and transmigrated into the unfavored illegitimate daughter of the Prime Minister’s family in the Dayong Dynasty. As soon as she woke up, her stepsister pushed her to be a "scapegoat" maid for the "tyrannical" Female Emperor Shen Zhaotang. However, she discovers that Shen, though seemingly ruthless, is actually a lonely ruler架空 (isolated) by veteran ministers—powerful officials control the court, the imperial concubine hides poison in the harem, and even the personal eunuch takes bribes. Lin Xiaoman’s eyes lit up: she uses modern workplace "underhanded tricks": sending fake letters to incite infighting between the powerful minister and the prince, helping Shen build a benevolent image with folk storybooks, and even turning her stepsister’s "gift" into a "witchcraft doll" to retaliate. When Shen finally secures the throne and laughs, "Who is the cruelest in this world?" Lin Xiaoman, munching on osmanthus cakes, tilts her head: "Me—the one who protects you with underhanded tactics."
