I Assist the Female Emperor with "Underhanded" Tactics

Lin Xiaoman, a modern 996 office worker, died from staying up late to watch a political drama and transmigrated into the unfavored illegitimate daughter of the Prime Minister’s family in the Dayong Dynasty. As soon as she woke up, her stepsister pushed her to be a "scapegoat" maid for the "tyrannical" Female Emperor Shen Zhaotang.

Lin Xiaoman’s eyes lit up: she uses modern workplace "underhanded tricks": sending fake letters to incite infighting between the powerful minister and the prince, helping Shen build a benevolent image with folk storybooks, and even turning her stepsister’s "gift" into a "witchcraft doll" to retaliate. When Shen finally secures the throne and laughs, "Who is the cruelest in this world?"
