Why Did I Become Emperor Instead of the Imperial Concubine? Plot:

Modern office worker Su Wan binds the "Imperial Concubine Laid-Back System" and travels back in time as Su Qingran, the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, waiting to marry the crown prince and live a lazy life. But on the wedding day, the crown prince is assassinated and on his deathbed, he shoves the imperial seal into her hand: "Qingran, take the throne... protect our kingdom." Forced to ascend, Su Wan is stunned—didn’t the system promise a laid-back life? Now she has to handle memorials, face court impeachment, and investigate the assassination truth. Worse, Gu Chen, the cold dark guard leader watching her, seems to know the crown prince’s secret. While arguing with the system over "breach of contract" and fumbling through her emperor duties, how did Su Wan’s "imperial concubine dream" turn into an "emperor training journey"?
