Synopsis

(This story contains original character details. You can read the author's note at the end of Chapter 1 first.)

What would happen to history if the Zhenguan-era imperial couple transmigrated as Emperor Kangxi and Empress Xiaochengren of the Qing dynasty? Would they still have closed the country off and called themselves the Celestial Empire?

Er Feng: “What? Our allies would rather make peace with me than hand me over to their own servants!”

Guanyin Bi: “Let me show you how an empress can take part in state affairs and still earn praise from the ministers at court.”

Er Feng: “Close the country off? Just watch me beat them until they close their borders!”

Guanyin Bi: “Foot binding? Chastity arches? The Three Obediences and Four Virtues? Just watch me abolish them all.”

Content warnings: 1. The harem doesn't include the historical Consorts De and Yi. I've created my own harem for this story. 2. Harem ranks follow the Tang dynasty system. 3. Harem conflicts appear only in the first few chapters; there won't be any later on. 4. The story will mention Dream of the Red Chamber later. That's all for now.

(My writing skills are limited, so I may not be able to capture even a fraction of Emperor Taizong and Empress Wende's splendor. Feel free to offer suggestions, but please don't scold me!)

Stories About Transmigrating to the Tang Dynasty Always Make Li Shimin Seem Too Weak

Historically, Li Shimin was a general whose military achievements were so great there was no higher honor left to bestow on him. As a ruler, he had top marks in politics. He did everything from emperor to general and minister, a true all-rounder. I want stories where Li Shimin gets to shine even more.

Looking for Stories Shipping Historical Figures, Female-Oriented

Are there any books where both leads are historical figures? They can transmigrate or be reborn, but they must both be historical figures. For example, Emperor Renzong of Song × Consort Zhang, or Zhu Yuanzhang × Empress Ma.

I Want One That Favors Li Shimin

Whatever, I'm desperate for something to read! I'm sobbing over Li Shimin like a superfan (I don't care whether there's a couple or not! Though I personally prefer Feng as the bottom. For romance, Changsun Empress is fine, but I'll pass on everyone else.)
