[Qing dynasty transmigration + mind reading + adorable child + everyone dotes on her + the nine princes' struggle for the throne + good-for-nothing heroine + feel-good story]
A top kindergarten teacher dies suddenly while working overtime. When she opens her eyes, she has become the Eighteenth Princess, whose script in the Kangxi era says she won't live long.
She learns right after birth that she'll die before turning three. Shen Qing spits out a little milk foam and decides to lie flat. The food in the Qing imperial harem is pretty good, anyway.
Who could have guessed that Kangxi, already driven to soaring blood pressure by the struggle among his nine sons, would pick her up and get hit with a baby-voiced bombshell in his mind:
[Old man, stop stressing! Your Crown Prince is plotting with the Eighth Prince to pretend he's possessed! That poor fool, the Tenth Prince, is still running errands for them! Tsk, these unfilial sons are planning to lock you up in the Garden of Clear Ripples to grow old!]
Kangxi: ???
After that, the whole court watches in alarm as they discover:
Every time the emperor is about to have someone killed, he first picks up the little princess and takes a lap with her.
The Crown Prince tries to make trouble, but gets intercepted every time. The Eighth Prince's faction has barely gathered before its members scatter. The Fourth Prince stands outside the Eighteenth Princess's palace with a cold expression, keeping watch for three days and nights just to get her “inner opinion.”
Shen Qing: I really just want to eat, drink, and wait for death! Stay away from me!
The princes compete to shout: “Eighteenth Sister!” “Eighteenth Aunt!” “Hold me!”
Shen Qing, screaming internally: [Get away from me! I'm scared of dying! Every one of you is a human-shaped nuclear bomb!!]
Kangxi cradles the little dumpling and smiles kindly: Yes, my little princess is right.
