(One of the best rebirth fanfics based on Empresses in the Palace anywhere online)
On the day she was sentenced to death in the Cold Palace, Nian Shilan finally learned she had been nothing but a pawn in the emperor’s game.
Her father and brother were killed, her family was destroyed, and she had wasted all her devotion on a worthless man.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to age fifteen, before she was promised in marriage or entered the prince’s residence.
In this life, she would tear love to shreds and sever every attachment.
She would not be a favored consort, fight for the empress’s position, or set foot in the harem!
She would be the one moving the pieces, protect the Nian family, and command the realm!
Before Kangxi, she bested the ministers in debate and was personally appointed tutor to the imperial grandson.
Five-year-old Hongli asked, “Teacher, what is an emperor?”
Nian Shilan sneered. “An emperor holds the power of life and death and determines the fate of the realm. He is not ruled by love.”
Yongzheng proposed to her. “Shilan, enter my prince’s residence, and I’ll give you a lifetime of honor and favor.”
Nian Shilan swept away. “This subject will only be an imperial tutor, never a consort.”
Years later, when Hongli ascended the throne, he honored her as regent and imperial tutor.

The ministers of the court bowed their heads, and no one in the harem dared speak.
History would remember her: Nian Shilan, the Qing dynasty’s first imperial tutor!
Beautiful, awesome! 👍👍👍
