[Dream of the Red Chamber] A Princess Consort, but at a Modern Girls' School

[Bold and outgoing ray of sunshine x cool, beautiful, regal princess]

The cast of The Female Consort transmigrates to a prestigious girls' school in 21st-century America, bringing plenty of girly romance along with them.

Xiangyun wakes up in Daiyu's arms.

America, a girls' college.

August sunshine, the scent of lake water and grass...

Daiyu's arm is draped over her waist.

Xiangyun's first thought: Food, I'm hungry!

Daiyu, meanwhile: Reach for her phone.

She sees a flirty photo of Baochai with a female celebrity, turns pale, and places the phone facedown on her pillow with elegant precision.

Xiangyun: “Piner, who's got you upset in that little metal box?”

Daiyu, eyes closed and lips pursed: “A stranger.”

Lily Valley Women's College: $70,000 in tuition.

Lake-view dorms, small seminar classes.

Daiyu: An avid internet surfer, thoroughly enjoying all the high-tech wonders of the 21st century.

Xiangyun:

Her ex, the seductive Princess of Nanan, goes to the school next door.

Her wife, the cool beauty of a princess, seems to be the boss of some secret society...

Xiangyun, top scholar of the Great Zhou dynasty, wants nothing more than to crawl under the table.

But late at night, the library is empty except for the two of them. The heating is on full blast, and the princess suddenly sheds her aloof, untouchable demeanor.

“Shi Xiangyun. Do you remember our wedding night in our previous life?”

Wang Xifeng: Excellent. Come sleep in my room tonight~

Momo: Those two above seem to have something going on~ They used to sleep together all the time in the original, didn't they? Zhi Yanzhai even poked fun at them~

Miaoyu: Just passing by for a look. I'm not here for gossip or anything. Please, Miss Lin and Miss Shi, carry on~

“The Locked-Room Incident in the Library!”

Was the culprit one of the three basic suspects, or one of the five premium suspects?

Xiangyun and the princess investigate clues together late into the night.

As they pore over the evidence, the princess's exquisite face draws incredibly close.

Moonlight falls across her face, cool and captivating.

[Zhi Yanzhai's comment: Omitted here are 30,000 words of girly romance from the Little Green Forum, a specialty of its literary section.]

Daiyu pushes open the door. “I found the crucial piece of evidence! ... What are you two doing?!”
