The rating just came out, and it’ll rise later 🫶 (Qing dynasty transmigration + Fourth Prince + household intrigue + later exclusive devotion + a little political scheming) A beautiful heroine who loves herself and knows her worth x a powerful hero who falls in love at first sight One day, Shen Ying transmigrates to the Qing dynasty and is about to head to the capital for the imperial selection. After struggling in vain, she accepts her fate and becomes one of Yinzhen’s concubines. She plans to quietly keep her head down, but from the moment she enters the prince’s residence, she is showered with favor. From concubine to secondary consort, then to noble consort, and finally to empress, the mother of all under heaven: she makes no plans of her own. The Fourth Prince lays the road at her feet, and all she has to do is walk it. While accompanying the emperor on his southern inspection tour, Yinzhen spots a brazen woman in Yangzhou. Though he has only seen her once, she leaves him unable to settle his thoughts. He intends to let her go, but when they meet again, she has become his concubine. Now that she belongs to him, she can only be his woman. Yinzhen won’t allow her to look at anyone else. Bonus scene Yinzhen has just coaxed Shen Ying into a good mood. After helping her change into her nightclothes, he carries her out of the bathroom and lays her on the bed. Hongfan and Yalin come rushing in hand in hand. They don’t see their mother, only their father drawing the bed curtains. “It’s so late. Is Mother still not out of bed?” Yinzhen’s expression changes. He picks up one child in each arm, takes them outside, and tells the servants to keep an eye on them. When he returns, Shen Ying is indeed glaring at him, complaining, “It’s all your fault! You made me lose face in front of the children first thing in the morning!” Yinzhen sighs, goes over, and puts his arms around Shen Ying again. “All right, I know I was wrong. It won’t happen again, okay?” “You say that every time!” Yinzhen kisses the corner of Shen Ying’s mouth. “This time, I mean it.”
