I transmigrated into the role of Yinreng, the Kangxi Emperor’s crown prince, and his second wife.
As a modern woman well versed in Qing history, I knew exactly what lay ahead for the gloomy, suspicious man before me: he would be deposed twice, reinstated twice, and eventually die in confinement. My mission was to survive in history for three years.
So I turned the usual script on its head.
He ignored me? I was even colder. He tested me? I turned his tricks aside with ease. He got drunk and fell apart? I handed him a bowl of hangover soup. “Your Highness, remember to drink this after you’re done smashing things. You still have court tomorrow.”
Little by little, his gaze changed from cold indifference to dependence, from suspicion to trust.
But that was nothing. What really left me stunned was this:
Every one of my three children was stranger than the last.
At five, my eldest studied a map and blurted out, “The Six States must be destroyed.” At four, my second son saw a warhorse and shouted that he wanted to “seal the wolf at Mount Langju.” At three, my daughter silently memorized everyone’s secrets, filling a little booklet thicker than the court memorials.
Qin Shi Huang. Huo Qubing. Wu Zetian.
All three had been reborn in my womb with their memories intact.
From then on, my days fell into a routine: by day, I helped the crown prince evade the Eight Princes’ faction’s open and hidden attacks; by night, I taught my three “little monsters” to control their talents. In between, I used modern knowledge to make money, improve firearms, and build an intelligence network.
And the crown prince, once so suspicious? Now he looked at me with only one thing to say:
“The greatest stroke of luck in my life wasn’t ascending the throne. It was marrying you.”
And our children were planting the Qing banners across the world.
From the Forbidden City to the Caspian Sea, from Japan to Java, from Malacca to the Mediterranean...
In the end, this world belongs to China.
It's really good-looking. The heroine is really extraordinary. The character is very plump and she is good to children. It's really a bit unsatisfying. I feel that it would be better and more perfect if it was more detailed. The content needs to be enriched, but it is understandable for people with a lot of imagination. Traveling through the books will definitely change history, but the author didn't deliberately change anyone's character. They all fit in and changed step by step. It's just that the updates are a bit too slow.
It's a very nice novel. I beg the writer to keep up the good work.
A very warm book
It's beautiful. I've read it all. How can I put it? It's relatively bland but it's interesting to read it carefully.
