Synopsis

Qing Dynasty transmigration + born into the past + farming + raising a child + palace intrigue (though there’s no palace intrigue, and she isn’t favored exclusively at first)

Important: The plot moves slowly. If you prefer a fast pace and an exclusively doting relationship, feel free to choose another book!

After failing the civil service exams four times in a row, Jiang Yao finishes her fifth exam and decides to pray for good luck at Yonghe Temple, a place said to grant wishes. Instead, she’s reborn as the daughter of a low-status hunter in the Qing Dynasty.

For Jiang Yao, who has always wanted to pass the exams and live a stable life, it’s like a bolt from the blue!

In the end, she resolves to make sure she has enough to eat and warm clothes, and to save a little money so she can live out her life in peace.

Unexpectedly, an accident leaves her with a son.

She thinks the Jiang family finally has an heir to carry on the family line!

But who could have guessed!

Three years later, the boy’s father comes looking for them, and he turns out to be none other than the famous Fourth Prince.

Through a series of twists and turns, Jiang Yao finds herself with a government job of sorts.

When other women enter the prince’s household, even if they lie flat, they still compete for his favor to improve their lives. But Jiang Yao can’t get enough to eat, and the food is worse than what she had in the countryside. So don’t blame her for hitting back with wild punches!

Fine, she’ll make do! With no burden of supporting a family, lying flat every day doesn’t seem so bad.

To Yinzhen, Jiang Yao is his nemesis. He regrets over and over again letting her into his residence.

From then on, Prince Yong’s household is turned upside down and never knows another peaceful day!

On her first day in the residence, the mother and son aren’t given enough to eat, so they take a stroll through the kitchens. After that, don’t ask her to order dishes. Meals cost money, and if you want money from her, you’ll get nothing. Take her life instead!

Yinzhen: “...No one has ever slapped me in the face!”

Jiang Yao: “...I apologized!”

Yinzhen: “...”

The women of the household: “She’s a menace! We fight with schemes, but she fights with her fists. She tried to intimidate us the first time we met, then got scared instead. She can kill a mad horse with one punch. How are we supposed to compete with that?”

Light and Enjoyable Palace-Intrigue Novels Worth Rereading

Looking for books similar to The Empress. This book isn't as full of dramatic twists and turns as Empresses in the Palace, but it has the same gently unfolding everyday life as The Story of Minglan. It isn't as sorrowful and bittersweet as Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, but it shares The Story of Minglan's wisdom about women. Although it takes place in the imperial harem,

The novel is incredibly captivating, making you eagerly anticipate more! It lacks the scheming and backstabbing typical of Qing Dynasty time-travel novels, the scheming and backstabbing within the Fourth Prince's household, the manipulative women, the scheming healers, and the toxic fans.

It's good. I hope the female lead remains clear-headed and strong, doesn't fawn over men, and doesn't fawn over them. I hate women who are obsessed with love. Let the female lead shine alone; this guy doesn't deserve her. She'll definitely be more popular without a romantic partner. 😏

I came from an AI video. The female lead is beautiful and very interesting, but it's been discontinued and there's no sequel.

I personally really enjoyed this book. Although it follows the basic Qing Dynasty time-travel formula and features the familiar Emperor Yongzheng, the romance between the male and female leads feels very natural, and Yongzheng's feelings for the female lead are understandable.

I'm dying to read this! The female protagonist, who doesn't have a spatial system and achieves miracles through sheer strength, has such a fresh and unique feel. It's so well-written, I love it so much! I caught up in two days and stayed up all night following it. Please write more, don't stop writing, please write forever! I love it so much!

It's truly a wonderful read. The female lead is incredibly strong, open-minded, and has a clear sense of self. While she may not be a master strategist, she's still intelligent in her own way. She's not blinded by love, and none of the characters are idiots. Every character is vividly portrayed. It's a rare gem of a book.

The author's writing is excellent, and the opening story is both simple and refreshing. The various exceptions made to the rules by Qin Yao and Hongjun after they enter the Fourth Prince's residence are quite captivating. Honghui is eight years old, healthy, intelligent, and kind. Unlike other novels, Ulanara's wife is not portrayed as jealous or mad, making for a comfortable reading experience.

This is a rare find from Tomato's writing. Finally, there's no madcap love affair with the Fourth Prince and a frenzy of having babies. The female lead only has one cheat ability: superhuman strength. There are no fertility pills or beauty pills, and she doesn't invent anything (like a smallpox gun). It's a simple and satisfying story, not childish.

I really love this book. The details are so well-written, it's easy to get engrossed in. This is the longest I've followed a serialized novel. The author has been updating slowly lately, so please don't give up! Please update more often!

This book is so good! I read it from beginning to end and loved it so much! 🥰🥰🥰 I hope the author updates it frequently!!! The little boy is incredibly strong, and I especially love seeing how he unintentionally reveals his strength in front of others. I really love it. The male lead is starting to like the female lead... Hehe.
