Slacking Off and Eating Melons: Are All the Court Officials Happy? Not Happy

[Full-team mind-reading + melon-eating + statecraft + slacking off + farming life + not a slapstick comedy + has CP]

Jiang Yueyang, a 21st-century office worker, died from a cerebral infarction after pulling an all-nighter. In her final moments, she bound with a melon-eating system. She was then reborn into a non-existent dynasty in history—the Great Yuan Dynasty—as the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue.

In this life, Jiang Yueyang was determined to slack off and never overwork again. But after a trip to the imperial palace, her slacking plans went up in smoke. The emperor of Great Yuan, for some inexplicable reason, suddenly issued an edict appointing her as a fifth-rank compiler, tasked with restoring books in the imperial library. He also explicitly stated that she must attend both grand and minor court assemblies.

Jiang Yueyang wailed—where had she gone wrong? She didn’t want to work, didn’t want to work, didn’t want to work—important things must be said three times! Unfortunately, in this era where imperial authority reigned supreme, she couldn’t say no.

So, she had to drag herself to work every day before dawn. Oh no—to court.

On her first day, Jiang Yueyang realized her colleagues weren’t exactly friendly.

[What? The emperor was cuckolded?]

[Huh? The Minister of Rites’ granddaughter is pregnant out of wedlock?]

[Love-struck fools are a no-go! Aunt, the man you like not only has a wife but also one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight mistresses.]

Later, her colleagues either ended up in prison or were executed. The emperor went on a killing spree.

After that, assassination attempts came one after another. Whom had she offended?
