Transmigrated to the Late Ming as a Bedchamber Maid, I Rise Against All Odds

A modern-day college graduate named Chun Hua is transmigrated back to the late Ming dynasty, to her past life as a baby. Unfortunately, as a member of a eunuch faction's family, she is forced to become a foundling. By sheer coincidence, she is found by a prostitute. Under the guidance of several masters, whose lives were bound together by Wei Zhongxian's persecution, she gradually grows into a gifted woman of her generation. With no household registration, she takes on the status of a household servant and becomes a maid in the home of Qian Qianyi and his brothers, who are all too concerned with the state of the world. She serves as a companion to the eldest young lady, hoping only to earn an identity that will let her leave the household. She never expects the second son, born of a concubine, to set his sights on her. First she becomes his bedchamber maid, then his concubine, helping him bring down the legitimate eldest son. But fate has other plans. With her unwitting help, her brother-in-law, who has also transmigrated to a later era, helps Li Zicheng defeat Sun Chuanting. Leading his army into the capital, Li Zicheng takes control of the city. When Qian Qianyi is brought to account, she is implicated too and reduced to a government slave. Her life just keeps getting worse... Surely no transmigrator has ever had it more tragic.
