The Qing Dynasty: Fifth Prince and His Wife Are Way Too Ambitious

Wanping transmigrates into the wife of the Fifth Prince, Yinqi. Her husband is the least ambitious of the princes competing for the throne, and every concubine in his household arrived before her.

She decides to lie flat, until she realizes the children can’t even get enough to eat. “The children in my household answer to me.”

After sending the matrons packing and laying down the rules, she uses her knowledge from three hundred years in the future to make money and support the family.

Beauty salons, hot pot, an ancient-style supermarket, postpartum care centers... She even helps the concubines in the household become wealthy women.

Her husband goes from “never visiting the main courtyard” to “coming every day.” Kangxi goes from “not impressed” to “wanting to hand him the throne.” Her younger brother goes from “a core member of the Eighth Prince’s faction” to “Fifth Brother, I’m with you.”

She says, “I’m not trying to win. I just want to live my life well.”

He says, “Imperial Father, your son declines.”

Kangxi flies into a rage. “Do you know how many people want that position?”

Leaning lazily against his chair, he replies, “Whoever wants it can have it. My wife is waiting for me to come home for dinner.”
