Sons and Daughters of Loulan

No transmigration, no rebirth, just a pure historical romance. The heroine, Hangu Li, is a young woman from a small village in the Loulan Kingdom who makes a living digging for medicinal herbs. To repay the debt for saving her life, she takes another woman's place in the selection and enters the harem of the King of Loulan. To avoid being summoned to his bed, she uses the little knowledge of medicine she has to pretend to be ill from the moment she enters the palace. After three months of this, nearly everyone in the harem treats her as though she were invisible. Even the servants think there is no future in serving a mistress like her, and all of them leave, except for the two maids she brought with her. The two girls were given to her by the village gentry family whose daughter she replaced, yet they remain steadfastly loyal. The three of them depend on one another and find comfort in each other in the harem. She thinks she will spend the rest of her life this way, but an unexpected conspiracy silently thrusts her into the heart of a maelstrom. She is married off once more, this time as a junior consort of the King of Loulan, to his eldest son Keremu, who is on the verge of death...
