Copywriter Geng Shuning dies suddenly in the office. She reincarnates into the Qing Dynasty as Geng Jia Shuning, one of the eight chief ladies-in-waiting in the Ci Ning Palace, serving the Empress Dowager. The original owner of the body was nineteen years old, with only one more year before she could return home, marry a respectable man with her family’s background, and become a lady of the household. However, due to an unrequited love that ended before it even began, her life faded away just before dawn. Geng Shuning cherishes her hard-won life and decides to stay quietly in the Ci Ning Palace, cooking delicious food and earning some dowry money. She patiently waits to be taken home by her family, planning to marry a obedient and handsome man to enjoy the good life she’s earned. She waits and waits, and after a year, the emperor, disregarding his own health, becomes seriously ill from overworking. The Empress Dowager then assigns her to the personal service of the emperor in the Yangxin Hall, with implicit intentions to keep her in the palace for two more years. Geng Shuning: …Well, I’d like to kindly greet the ancestors of the Aisin Gioro family, thank you very much!
