Lin Yans worries were unnecessary.

  She didnt know that the pair of Prada boots, which were absolutely guaranteed to be non-slip, would slip. She didnt know that the carefully maintained boarding ladder would have icy patches. She didnt know that the assistant and bodyguard would move so slowly. She didnt know why there wasnt a single agile gentleman among the group of reporters who could rush up... She didnt know that the humble ten-step boarding ladder would be fatal.

  What a suffocating death, to be beaten to death while still alive. Those unscrupulous subordinates will definitely mock her at the funeral, saying "evil deeds" and "retribution is not enough". Director Wang will also laugh out loud in Zhengzhou Prison... those bastards! I, Lin Yuen, wont rest in peace even as a ghost!

  Ah, if a kind angel were to appear before me, I would definitely repent - please, give me another chance. Ive just become the president, I havent yet enjoyed the fiery power and good material things, Im still young, I havent gotten married... I know Im not a good person, I know that good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished, I admit that S company was ruined by me, the chairman of A company was taken care of by me in a hotel, the president of Hengda went bankrupt because I took 32% of his shares, the head of the marketing department Wang was calculated by me through judicial loopholes... I know I was wrong, I will definitely...

  I must walk and look at the road!

  But everything was too late.

  Nothing can be relived, and she could no longer sit in the presidents office again.

  Perhaps there really is a hell in this world. Lin thought that at least there are things more frightening than death.

  Shes now in hell.

  She spent a month adapting to everything here - in this strange, supernatural and incomprehensible world. She wasnt that kind of simple and kind girl, she didnt like romance novels, and for the word "crossing over" she had only heard of it. She didnt know which dynasty this was, she couldnt find any clues from her historical knowledge, maybe - this was just a corner of time and space, a real illusion of a parallel space, she came to a place that didnt exist, a... hell.

  "Lin Xuancai, why havent you dressed up yet? Do you think youre a princess, waiting for someone to serve you..." The sharp voice outside rose again.

  Lin Yan sighed, in the past she was a gold collar of a multinational company, a superior person, living a life where others had to do what she wanted. Now she is... well, seemingly still part of high society, or so-called royalty, but she lives a life where she has to do what others tell her to do.

  Even a lowly servant girl like her would bully her!

  How did she end up in such a humiliating situation!

  Thats right, our classmate Lin Yuan has crossed over. She is now a humble "concubine" - ah, a concubine of the imperial family, but with a lowly birth and never having received favor. Lin Yuans situation is even more desolate than that of Little White Vegetable.

  She didnt know why she had crossed over, nor did she know why she became the most inconspicuous and pitiful "Lin Xuan Shi" in this vast imperial palace. Was it because she shared the same name and surname as the real Lin Xuan Shi? Did some kind of mysterious fate still exist in this world? God, your plot hole is a bit too big.

  God: Oh dear, crossing over is not just a legend!

  But, even if I were to travel through time and space, why did I have to end up in such a miserable situation? Why did I have to be reborn into the palace where people are eaten alive without being spat out, and become one of the lowest-ranking concubines with no favor from the emperor? The real "Lin Xuan Shi" was a kind-hearted girl who had just entered the palace through the selection process several months ago, in November of last year. Her beauty stood out among all the other women in the harem, and she had the potential to gain the emperors favor, but because she was too simple-minded and weak-willed, she was bullied by the other consorts and eventually became isolated, never even getting a chance to see the emperors face, and was relegated to this remote Mirror Moon Pavilion... Lin Xuan Shi is already dead. At the same time that Lin Huan died, she fell ill after being forced to kneel by one of the consorts and her soul returned to the Western Heaven. And then, Lin Huan took her place!

  What a bleak life this girl has! Being tormented to death by her opponent, isnt that more suffocating than dying herself? And yet she has to accept such a failed fate and continue the miserable life of Lin Xuans servant... From top to bottom in the palace, everyone is selfish, not to mention the concubines and masters, even the personal maid Xiaomei looks down on her, complaining every day about being unlucky enough to serve an "undead" person, and then venting all her grievances on Lin Yu. The Palace of Ceremonies, the Palace of Food, and the Palace of Clothing all treated Lin Yu with indifference, never giving her a share of clothes or food that were supposed to be delivered to her. They say that life in the palace is one of glory, wealth, and luxury, but for her, its become a life of poverty and scarcity.

  In this situation, Lin Wan could no longer muster her former haughty and arrogant demeanor. Ha! Joking aside, when you cant even eat your fill, how can you still consider dignity? That Lin Xuan Shi normally eats steamed buns with salted vegetables and drinks cold water - this is based on the premise that every day she has to go to the imperial kitchen to fight for food. Lin Wan was even more miserable, she didnt dare leave her room, and almost starved to death in this one month.

  Its not that shes timid, but rather that shes utilizing her economics background to conduct a thorough analysis and has come to the conclusion that shes currently unfamiliar with everything here and is prone to making mistakes. She might even be discovered not to be the real Lin Xuan Shi! Therefore, even if she starves to death, her survival time would still be longer than going out of the house to look for food at the Shang Shi Bureau and then being executed due to not understanding the rules and making a wrong move!

  It was all thanks to that bullying palace maid, Xiao Mei. Lin Wan almost knelt down for a mouthful of food, and in the end, Xiao Mei was afraid she would die here and implicate herself, so every day she would also come to deliver a meal - mostly leftovers.

  Why, why! My god, cant we start playing from birth? How could I, Lin Yuanyu, have lived so humbly?!

  To sum it up, Lin Yan felt deeply grieved, annoyed, wronged and indignant about the supernatural turn of events in her life.

  But she couldnt blame heaven either - well, although you threw me into this ghostly place, I still have to thank you for giving me a second life, being alive is better than being dead.

  She has never been one to wait for death.

  "Hmph, a harem thinks it can take me down? I, Lin Yu, will make a name for myself wherever I go."

  Alright, Director Lin, lets think this through, how are we going to survive?
