The Ming Dynasty’s Top Palace Maid Made Chongzhen Cry by Overachieving

Good news: After death, I transmigrated to the Ming Dynasty and even secured a position as a palace maid within the official establishment. Bad news: My boss is Chongzhen, and he’s scheduled to hang himself in 16 years. Lin Yuan decided to just “lay flat” and slack off, only to find that she had completely broken all the historical figures. When facing the “Dashing King,” Li Zicheng: Lin Yuan’s inner voice: [This guy is going to drive the Emperor to his death in the future!] Chongzhen’s action: Immediately promoted Li Zicheng to Jinyiwei Qianhu. Result: Li Zicheng was moved to tears, vowing to shed his last drop of blood for the Great Ming. When facing the “Great Traitor,” Wu Sangui: Lin Yuan’s inner voice: [This kid is going to let the Qing army through the pass in the future!] Chongzhen’s action: Threw Wu Sangui into the Yongweiying to serve as an instructor. Result: Wu Sangui became the Ming Dynasty’s God of War, pummeling Dorgon until he began to doubt his very existence. Lin Yuan looked at the court full of loyal ministers and brave generals: “Wait, what happened to the ‘ruler of a fallen nation’? How did he overachieve his way into becoming an ‘Emperor for the Ages’?!” Ps: This is an alternate history, alternate history, alternate history; based on the Chongzhen era of the Ming Dynasty. For the sake of the plot, please do not dwell on why it differs from actual history. After all, this is a “brain-hole” novel! Please go easy on the criticism!
