Tales of the Capital Quest

share time: 2026-02-07 00:38:52

Lin Xiaoman, a 996 office worker, died from overworking on a proposal—only to wake up as a bullied maid in an ancient capital's marquis mansion. She plans to lie low, but gets tangled in helping Lu Zhao, a disgraced prince framed as a “good-for-nothing” yet secretly a wronged genius. Using modern workplace tricks—like organizing evidence with PPT logic and winning allies with milk tea—she navigates court intrigue. To her surprise, the cold Lu Zhao softens: he brings her hot congee when she works late, shields her from assassins, and even fights to retrieve her stolen hairpin. Just as they uncover the frame-up truth, Xiaoman finds an old notebook in the mansion—with her MODERN name on it. Could this rebirth be a pre-planned “mutual journey” all along?
