A Record of Harmony

Lin Wanyin, a modern animal behavior consultant, accidentally transmigrates while rescuing a traumatized dog and becomes the least favored illegitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yongning's household in the Great Yao Dynasty. Her predecessor was timid and was pushed into the water, where she died. When Lin Wanyin awakens, she discovers the power of Harmony in her bloodline: she can sense the emotions of all things and soothe trauma through her voice and touch. In the marquis's household, she cures the old madam's insomnia, tames her legitimate elder brother's fiery horse, and wins over her sharp-tongued half-sister; In the imperial palace, she eases the emperor's guilt over killing his brother and soothes the crown prince's anxiety. Even after Consort Liu frames her and gets her sent to the Office of Judicial Punishments, she emerges unscathed; At the border, she establishes a healing camp for soldiers suffering from postwar trauma and gives the regent, a man who kills without batting an eye, his first peaceful night's sleep. Xiao Heng says, “She's mine. If you want her, you'll have to step over my dead body first.” But when the truth behind the annihilation of the Harmony clan comes to light, when the Heart-Cleansing Cult that erases emotions takes control of the court, and when a hundred thousand lost souls wail in Burial Valley... Only then does Lin Wanyin understand that her transmigration was never an accident. This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
