A note before we begin: Due to family matters, the author is temporarily putting this story on hiatus. Updates will probably resume around early August.
A note before we begin: This story does not follow history exactly, and some things even contradict the historical record! Please don't take it too seriously.
Almost everyone gets a happy ending! Most of the consorts from the original series are here. This is not a one-on-one, mutually faithful romance, so proceed with caution!
In 1735, Yin Zhen passed away. He was known to history as Emperor Yongzheng. Throughout his life, Emperor Yongzheng worked diligently and cared for the people. He was a man of great virtue, a blessing to the Great Qing.
Yin Zhen's soul saw how highly future generations regarded him and felt completely satisfied. He was getting ready to go to the underworld with the Black and White Impermanence and spend a lovely evening with Chun Yuan. Who could have guessed that an old man would appear and send him back to the time when he was still Prince Yong?
Yin Zhen: Guys, who else gets it? I woke up and realized I'd wasted my whole life!
But after living another life, he saw through many things and let go of many old obsessions.
This time, he would not only seize the throne, but also find lasting happiness.
Those damned Dzungars dare ask for a real princess as a bride? Attack! Whoever dares invade, I'll fight them! Bring out every cannon and gun! From then on, the Qing dynasty entered the age of firearms.
Chun Yuan isn't truly in love with him? No matter, I am broad-minded and magnanimous. I'll let her go!
Yi Xiu really loves him? Well, wonderful! My darling wife, I love you!
Shi Lan, Yue Bin, Ruo Zhao, Mei Zhuang, Ling Rong: I wronged you in my previous life, so I'll make it up to you in this one. (Mainly because the white-robed immortal won't let me reincarnate otherwise.)
Good heavens, the Forbidden City's feng shui is nourishing. Surely it won't let you waste away and perish.
