Blurb:
Hello, readers! I began writing this novel on February 4, 2026.
All names, places, and dynasties in this story are fictional. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. The court system is based on that of the Northern Wei period.
In the spring of the second year of Jinghe, Emperor Jinghe built a tall tower for his favorite consort, Gao: the Yingxian Tower.
Because the deadline was tight and the people in charge kept pressing them, the workers were exhausted every day and complained bitterly.
Rumor had it that Consort Gao was a seductive temptress who bewitched the emperor and bullied those beneath her.
*
Yang Xue, a modern fourth-year university student majoring in early childhood education, transmigrated into the historical Ning Dynasty. She also transmigrated into Gao Guanyi, who was destined to meet her end before long.
She inwardly groaned.
So she resolved to change everyone's stereotyped impression of her.
Later, she discovered that the reputation of a wicked consort was nothing but a rumor born of other people's envy. The real Gao Guanyi was inarticulate, disliked socializing, and had an odd temper: sometimes quiet, sometimes irritable.
When Lady Li picked a fight and tried to frame Consort Gao for having an affair with a palace guard, the emperor had her beheaded...
Please note:
1. This is a practice novel, so the writing may not be very good. Please be kind.
2. The female lead has a very unusual personality. She's somewhat insecure and sensitive, and very introverted, but pretends to be outgoing. When she transmigrates, she knows to use the emperor's power to protect herself. She's good at adapting to ancient times because Yang Xue likes history and watches palace intrigue dramas.
3. At first, Emperor Pei Zhao is only interested in Gao Guanyi's face, so he doesn't care about her personality. After Yang Xue transmigrates, he eventually gives her his true heart. The male lead always pampers the female lead, but there will be an empress, other consorts, and children. If you dislike that, please don't read.
4. Although the female lead transmigrates, she doesn't have an all-knowing perspective, since many records about the Ning Dynasty are wrong.
5. The male lead is deeply influenced by feudal thinking and can't stand anyone disobeying him, not even the female lead.
6. As for the political system, while it's said earlier to be modeled on the Northern Wei, elements of the Sui and Tang systems will also be mixed in, such as the imperial examination system... This is my first time writing a novel with a bit of political intrigue, so please don't flame me.
Wishing everyone good fortune in the Year of the Horse and all the best!
Theme: I ask for no fame after death, only peace of mind
