A Three-and-a-Half-Year-Old Qing Dynasty Baby: The Nine Princes’ Succession War Turns Brutal

Shen Qingwu, a top history student, wakes up as Yuludai, the youngest and least favored daughter of Yinzhen, the deposed Crown Prince of the Kangxi era.

Her mother died young, her father is imprisoned, and she, a three-and-a-half-year-old nobody, is left in a corner of the Cold Palace with no guarantee she’ll survive the day.

Everyone expects the little sapling to wither away unnoticed.

Then one day, Yinzhen is reinstated, and she is taken out of the Cold Palace.

Faced with her ambitious uncles and cousins and the treacherous struggle among the Nine Princes, Yuludai blinks her clear, wide eyes.

Well... she knows history inside and out.

She keeps a mental list of who will win in the future and who’s putting on an act right now.

Her Imperial Grandfather Kangxi: “Why does this girl look more and more familiar the longer I look at her?”

Crown Prince Yinzhen: “Of course my daughter is the best.”

Eldest Prince Yinti: “What could a little girl possibly know?”

Fourth Prince Yinzhen, wearing a cold expression: “...Stay away from me.”

Later, everyone notices that the little dumpling by the Crown Prince’s side, always clutching a tiny notebook and scribbling away, seems to avoid every open and hidden threat.

In her softest little voice, she sets the most ruthless traps.

“Father, there’s a letter in Uncle Yinti’s study...”

Yuludai has simple goals: grow up safely and protect the secret her mother left behind.

And amid the bloody struggle among the Nine Princes, carve out a warm, happy home for herself and this cold, forbidding palace.
