Fu Xinghe transmigrates into the body of a cannon-fodder woman tasked with drugging a fallen tyrant. The original female character tried to rise to empress but was executed after a brief affair.
Fu Xinghe arrives at the wrong time—what’s done is done, so she quietly leaves. At the tyrant’s selection ceremony, she tries to stay unnoticed but smiles too brightly and is chosen. Her mother warns her: “Your father is powerful, and the emperor is suspicious. Don’t end up carrying a child.”
Fu Xinghe agrees, but she ends up pregnant anyway. Before she can decide whether to admit it, the emperor dissolves the harem. Fu Xinghe happily runs away, while Meng Dongting complains: “Dissolving the harem doesn’t include you.”
