About The Emperor Is a Pawn
Sara, a workaholic from a cutthroat tech giant, wakes up in an imperial palace with nothing but a goofy, scatterbrained "system" by her side. But she's not here for love or loyalty, she's here to climb. Treating palace intrigue like office politics, Sara turns every superior into a stepping stone. Even the emperor? Just another tool for her next promotion.
