(Completed) A nobody in the harem with no background and no scheming actually became the Empress Dowager, who was revered by the entire court, causing a stir among the newcomers to the palace.

The younger generation: "Your Majesty, can you tell us how you managed to dominate the palace and rise to your current position?"

Su Mingyan: "...By giving up?"

......

Su Mingyan transmigrated and became a fifth-rank concubine in the imperial harem.

Upon realizing she'd transmigrated, her first instinct was to become a couch potato. A reborn tycoon seeking revenge and vying for favor? She'd cling to his powerful back and lie low. A transmigrated woman disguising herself as weak to gain the emperor's attention? She'd sit back, munching on melon seeds and watching the drama unfold. The empress and the imperial concubine schemed against each other, while she ate oranges and slacked off...

Su Mingyan: "Competing for favor is exhausting. Such complicated things are not suitable for a simple-minded person like me. I just want to daydream and get something for nothing."

Cui'er, the palace maid who served her, couldn't stand it anymore: "My lady, if this continues, you will be banished to the Cold Palace!"

Su Mingyan, who was just giving up, rolled over and even farted, indicating that she wasn't worried at all. She figured she could live anywhere, and the cold palace was quiet, which was perfect for a useless person like her.

Despite Su Mingyan's constant laziness, the cold palace days she had been hoping for never arrived. Instead, she rose through the ranks, from a lowly concubine to a high-ranking lady, then to a concubine, and finally to empress. Later, she became the respected empress dowager, enjoying lavish meals and living a very comfortable life.

Su Mingyan (scratching her butt): "Sure enough, these days, lying down and giving up is the right way."
