The Dowager Empress Does Not Wish to Attend Court

Leads: Yi Hang & Liu Nian

Description: Modern corporate drone Yu Qijian transmigrates into the role of the young widowed Empress Dowager of the Great Yu Dynasty. With an eight-year-old child emperor needing her care and the imperial relatives and officials requesting her to rule from behind the curtain, she—knowing full well she lacks any foundation in political maneuvering—wants nothing more than to slack off. She attempts to fool everyone using modern fallacies and rhetorical tricks, but her act is quickly seen through by the powerful and treacherous Grand Secretary, Fang Jinmei. She avoids him like a venomous snake, yet he insists on undermining her at every turn. That is, until she accidentally discovers his secret: he is afflicted by a rare poison that only she can alleviate. From then on, suspicion turns into conspiracy, and avoidance turns into entanglement.
