【Time Travel + Workplace Competition + No Lazing Around + Ambitious Female Lead】

Overachiever Shen Wei traveled through time and found herself as the lowest-ranking maid in the grand residence of the Yan Prince.

The Yan Prince held a prestigious position, but his consorts were all content to live dull lives. The noble-born princess consort was as tranquil as a chrysanthemum; the concubine sought a life of monogamy; the reincarnated woman was utterly disillusioned with the Yan Prince and had given up on striving for anything; and the other timid concubines dared not make a move...

The queen of workplace competition, Shen Wei, declared: Don't stop me! I'm going to outwork these unambitious slackers!

...

The Yan Prince had grown accustomed to the stagnant atmosphere in his harem, until a particularly skilled courtesan appeared.

This concubine was stunningly beautiful, adept at both literature and dance, hardworking, and always brought him fresh excitement. The Prince couldn't help but take a second, then a lifetime-long, look at her.

Years later, Shen Wei became the all-powerful Imperial Noble Consort, with children and the emperor's exclusive favor.

Meanwhile, the princess consort remained as tranquil as ever; the concubine was aging and had yet to experience a monogamous life; and the reincarnated woman was still eating simple meals in her modest abode...

After half a lifetime of striving, Shen Wei finally reached retirement and revealed her true nature, fully embracing a life of leisure. The retired emperor interjected: "You competed for favor just to retire?"

Shen Wei snacked on melon seeds: "What else?"

Living is all about retirement!

The retired emperor was even more surprised to find, in midlife, that other men were vying for his wife's affections!

    I liked the concept, but honestly it makes no sense to put an 8 year old kid. You could have just put 18 year old guy instead of an eight year old and it would have been quite fun. I am also seeing possible signs of grooming and underage love line forming. There are also some plotholes. The system sign in reward was missed, and there are no details given regarding how some traps were made, and how sometimes, the plot seemed to have jumped past few details.Unlike what some comments are saying, racism is not shown (at least till ch 40) other than China being where the MC was reincarnated in. But still no clue why the novel was picked with all these possible danger flags.

    So: a really good premise and an interesting ability. Special forces and an ability that can multiply or reduce the laws of physics and other peoples powers, which gives a solid base to build a story on.Character design: Starts out really good, the MC seems well thought of. But then the "legal loli" appears and he turns into a horn dog. She pampers him, he is - this close to fudging her and what the heck happened to my nice story and the good premise?World Background: Actually great, well thought of and interesting.Writing Quality: Pretty good for a Webnovel.

    This book is awesome just like other books the author has written, the plot is great and the grammar is nice and easy to read......... Not good with words but the book is recommendable. I hope you win the contest and if you don't, please do not drop it due to disappointment or whatever.

    As there's only 6 chapters out currently this will be negatively influencing the review FOR NOW.This is my opinion and personal preference only.The story starts out like many others, but not exactly like them, it's changed just enough for it to not be another boring cultivation novel generic start. My personal preference is that I don't get slapped with text walls of world background, or extensive family knowledge, that's quite unnecessary and can be pushed until later in the story. The author does this well as he gives just enough information to catch your attention but not overwhelm the reader. (Had to give 1* for lack of world background FOR NOW) Our main character wasn't an all powerful God-like being before his death, but a man who just wants to live eternally through his accumulation of alchemy knowledge. Which is great because he doesn't get everything he wants, and learns a lesson that not everything in life is attainable, even through hard work and dedication.The author does a great job at making a story well written even though English is not their native language. You may find grammatical errors here and there but they will in no way effect CURRENTLY getting the jist of the sorry.Overall I believe that this novel is a good read which has potential, it's not poorly written or pumped out with glaring errors just for something to be read. I can't wait to see more chapters and I have added this to my library.

    An isekai novel! This genre is my favourite. Its quite interesting how the Mc can only use guns in a fantasy world. Well this is the first time I've read a novel in first person POV. The writing quality is decent and the Author has described the thoughts of Mc very effectively. I like how the world building is done thus far.Overall a 4.8 star review for this new novel. As this is not like those typical fantasy magic novels, I recommend that readers be patient and give it a try.
