Empresses in the Palace: I Became Yongzheng's Beloved

[Empresses in the Palace fan fiction + transmigration + palace intrigue + System]

Sun Ruoxue, a socially anxious shut-in, transmigrates into the Kangxi era as Nalan Ruoxue, the youngest daughter of the powerful minister Nalan Mingzhu. She has an illustrious family, loving parents, and caring siblings, and is even bound to an all-purpose “Pinduoduo” shopping System. Ruoxue’s ambitions are simple: eat, sleep, and wait for death; lie flat and enjoy life. But an imperial edict summoning candidates for selection shatters her dream. Following the principle that “being rejected is a victory,” Ruoxue nervously enters the Forbidden City, only to discover that she’s somehow landed on the set of Empresses in the Palace! She intends to stay unnoticed, but one glance from the Yongzheng Emperor sends her straight to the rank of Concubine.

On her very first day in the palace, an imperial order for her to attend the Emperor arrives out of nowhere. Faced with an Emperor who has someone else in his heart, jealous consorts, and a storyline that could collapse at any moment, Nalan Ruoxue has to start from scratch, armed with a modern soul and her “Pinduoduo” golden finger, and embark on an unconventional journey through palace intrigue. She doesn’t want to compete for favor; she just wants to protect herself and carve out a little corner of her own amid the red walls and yellow tiles.

She had planned to lie low in the harem, keep herself safe, and wait until the Yongzheng Emperor died. Then Zhen Huan would become Empress Dowager, and Ruoxue could either enjoy being Empress Dowager herself or ask to leave the palace.

“Xue’er, this milk tea of yours is delicious. I want to drink it every day.”

“Xue’er, this is so refreshing.”

“Xue’er...”

Who would have thought that the man who was supposed to spend every day with Zhen Huan, while tangled up with the Empress, Shen Meizhuang, An Lingrong, and the others, would instead cling to Ruoxue every day and refuse to leave her side?

When the Empress comes looking for trouble, Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, and An Lingrong try to befriend her, and the other consorts fume with jealousy and pull one petty stunt after another, the man who adores Ruoxue keeps them all at bay.
