Main Storyline Summary

Ruan Mianmian had been playing a *farming simulator* for twelve years.
Just when she was about to clear the level, she was abruptly forced into a *palace intrigue drama*!
She could only stare at the heavens in disbelief.

If it weren’t for her husband — the handsome prince with a gentle voice who checked every single one of her “pretty boy” boxes — she absolutely wouldn’t have let this slide.

From farming to managing households to surviving palace politics, under Ruan Mianmian’s capable hands, the Prince’s residence thrived.
She even earned the emperor’s immense favor, helping her husband secure his claim to the throne.

After being promoted to Empress, she continued to dominate the inner palace life with flair.
But within this vast imperial palace, with all its luxury and endless affection — how could that ever satisfy an ambitious time-traveler’s heart?

Ruan Mianmian turned her face faster than flipping a book:

“I quit! I’m resigning from this Empress job! The world outside is vast, and I’ve got big dreams to chase!”

The Emperor: “…???”

“What happened to spending our lives together? What did I even do wrong?
I wasn’t the heartless one here — why am I suddenly the tragic husband chasing after his runaway wife?
Is there no justice left in this world?”
