The Qing Era Chronicle

This story is entirely fictional. (Historical romance!)

Luo Qing transmigrated to an unfamiliar dynasty. At first, she thought she would simply live an ordinary life. To support her family, she put the cooking skills she had learned in the modern world to use by opening a shop, and started planning a few other ventures. She thought she was just an ordinary NPC in this world, here to work until she could make her fortune and return to modern times.

She struggled her way through life, nearly dying or ending up disabled several times. Along the way, she realized she had fallen in love with a man and repeatedly took the initiative to confess her feelings. But he made it clear he felt nothing for her, so she immediately stopped trying. Clinging to him would only make her seem annoying.

But inwardly, she thought: Then I don’t want him. There are plenty of men out there.

Yet when she decided to accept someone else’s marriage proposal, the usually aloof and proud man caught her wrist in a corner and asked in a low voice, “Who are you going to marry?”

(P.S. The heroine is no saint! Everyone reacts in a normal, reasonable way! She punishes evil and champions good, yielding to the weak and standing firm against the strong. Her personality is hard to pin down!)

There are all sorts of men: the first male lead, the second, the third, and more! Upright gentlemen? Scheming types? Yanderes?

It’s a bit of a wish-fulfillment story, so I hope you’ll stick with it. Thanks for reading! If it’s not for you, please move along. Pretty please.
