After transmigrating, an overworked wage slave becomes the emperor’s favorite and rewrites a dynasty’s tragic history.
Lin Jingtai, a Beijing drifter and office worker tormented by her family of origin, died beneath the wheels of a car while saving a child.
When she opened her eyes again, she had landed in the first year of the Jingtai reign, crashing down from the sky into the Western Warm Chamber and right in front of Emperor Jingtai, Zhu Qiyu.
With her encyclopedic knowledge of Ming history, she nervously disguises her identity, hoping only to scrape by in this feudal dynasty that devours people alive.
But then…
“Zhaozhao, marry me.”
“I don’t want you as a palace attendant or a court lady. I want you to be the Noble Consort of Great Ming.”
After becoming his consort, Lin Jingtai treads carefully. She only wants to keep her head down, win over the empress, and live peacefully with the other women in the palace. If she can bear a child or two, she might avoid being buried alive with the emperor.
If she has a son, could history change? Would the Incident of Seizing the Gate never happen?
When she really does give Zhu Qiyu twin sons,
“Zhaozhao, I want to make you empress.”
A life-and-death struggle in the imperial harem? Not a chance.
This is the story of a modern soul who uses fairness and kindness to bridge the divides within the palace and create a harmonious harem.
Deposed Empress Wang is sincerely grateful: “You treated me with courtesy, sister. I’ll never forget it.”
Consort Hui Hang and Consort Xian Tang arrive together: “Your Majesty, we will always be grateful for your kindness.”
The princesses cluster around her, clamoring for attention: “Mother, you’re the best!”
The crown prince, exhausted from managing state affairs, cries: “Mother, there are so many memorials…”
Even Zhu Jianshen, Prince of Yi, gets to marry the female official he loves, Wan Shi. Deeply moved, he says, “My uncle has shown me great kindness, and my aunt understands me best.”
See how the modern office worker Lin Jingtai joins hands with Emperor Jingtai, Zhu Qiyu, to abolish burial sacrifices, pacify the borders, nurture talent, and stabilize the court, righting history’s wrongs one by one and creating a Jingtai golden age unlike any other!
