My Palace Life: Lie Flat, Get Favored

Trapped in an opulent, yet dangerous, ancient palace as a low-ranking concubine to the fearsome King Zhao, modern girl Ji Yunqing has no golden finger, no political acumen, and a severe case of illiteracy. Surrounded by scheming rivals, from the powerful Princess to conniving concubines who thrive on intrigue, her future looks grim and short. Her only goal? To become a 'salted fish' – live luxuriously, avoid all drama, and secure a comfortable retirement with a healthy cub by her side. But her ingenious plan to appear utterly harmless and non-competitive accidentally makes her stand out amidst the ambitious court. When her feigned weakness and disinterest begin to unexpectedly captivate the formidable King and earn her shocking special privileges, her rivals dismiss her as a harmless fool. Can the ultimate 'lie-flat' strategy actually win the deadliest game in the palace, or will her accidental rise make her an even bigger target for those who covet the King's favor?
