Morning Sun Fills the Courtyard

Part One: Also known as The Concubine’s Guide to Survival (not a typical harem-intrigue story, with very little of it)

[The heroine is the most beautiful and best-looking woman in the whole book! Her looks are number one]

Synopsis:

After a modern young woman, Li Zhaozhao, died from staying up too late, she found herself in a fictional dynasty. Being reborn from birth was one thing, but she was also an illegitimate daughter, unloved by both her father and mother. Her nominal father was Jiang Baici, Ning Dynasty’s prime minister. The Jiang family had held high office for generations and lived in magnificent luxury.

Her grandfather had devoted his life to the people of the Ning Dynasty, working tirelessly until his death. He upheld the court and served the realm, and was honored with a place in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Her mother was a farmer’s daughter, powerless and poor. When her family ran short of food, her beauty led to her being sold into the prime minister’s household as a concubine. Her nominal primary wife had three children: the eldest son, Jiang Yuan, was the Crown Prince’s study companion; the second son, Jiang Yanting, had been toughened on the frontier since childhood; and the third child, Jiang Jiaoshu, had been unmatched in beauty since she was little, renowned throughout the capital, and was close friends with the most favored Eldest Princess. The two studied together in the Imperial Study. Concubine Liu had two daughters and a son: Jiang Tiaotiao, Jiang Maoyi, and Jiang Zan. Concubine Wang had a son and a daughter: Jiang Tianming and Jiang Shuangyu.

And she was Jiang Man, daughter of Zhao Fu, Concubine Zhao.

What an awful, awful, awful name!!!!

Why give her a name that sounds like a man’s?!

At first Li Zhaozhao was unhappy about it, but eventually she came to terms with it. Her modern name wasn’t much better; it just sounded full of energy.

Her golden finger works only sometimes.

Read this first!!
