Transmigrated as a Demon Concubine: My Little Husband Zhu Jianshen

[Transmigration + love that grows over time + a growing-up romance + a scheming young emperor + a domineering yet softhearted favored consort]

Wan Xin'er, a modern archaeology PhD, transmigrates to the Ming dynasty and becomes Zhu Jianshen's personal palace maid!

At first, Wan Xin'er is dejected and grumbles, “Ugh, other people transmigrate into favored consorts, but I became a wicked consort, and now I have to raise a little husband too!”

Zhu Jianshen clings to her arm and cries like a child, “Sister Xin'er, I'm scared. I'm hungry!”

Wan Xin'er blushes. “You little rascal, don't get so close. What are you trying to do?”

Zhu Jianshen looks determined. “Xin'er, I'll make you empress and the woman I love most.”

The carefree Prince Xiaoyao, who loves practicing Daoism, is so smitten that he declares he'll never practice again and follows Wan Xin'er around. “Xin'er, marry me. We're the same age, so I'm a better match for you.”

Zhu Jianshen jumps up angrily. “Zhu Zhanting, don't you dare go too far! How dare you steal my consort?”

“She likes you because you're older and will die sooner!”

Wan Xin'er giggles with delight!

One day, Wan Xin'er tells Zhu Jianshen bluntly, “You know, I don't like your mother. I don't want to see her.”

Zhu Jianshen answers gently, “Don't worry, Xin'er. The Empress Dowager has already been moved to the South Gate and placed under house arrest.”

The court is tense, and the ministers accuse Wan Xin'er. She responds without an ounce of shame, “I am not interfering in government. I am governing.”

A minister roars, “You wicked consort, stop this madness!”

Zhu Jianshen stands and declares, “The empress is more capable than I am. I grant her the right to attend court and govern!”

Wan Xin'er looks at Zhu Jianshen, thrilled. “If only I could drive a tank to wipe out the Jurchen!”

“Xin'er, I'll handle the dangerous things.” He pampers his beloved sister beyond measure and loves only her.
