Xiao Yanzi was struck by the Fifth Prince's arrow at the hunting grounds and remained unconscious after entering the imperial palace.
When she woke up, she had become a modern-day girl named Yan Ning.
Yan Ning decided she wouldn't steal Ziwei's father, and revealed who she was at the first opportunity.
So Ziwei became the "Returning Pearl Princess."
And as for Yan Ning... stay tuned.
This is a My Fair Princess fanfic, and only a My Fair Princess fanfic, so there will be no Plum Blossom or New Moon, nor characters from other Qiong Yao works.
This is a My Fair Princess fanfic, and only a My Fair Princess fanfic, so Hongzhou, Heshen, Fu Kang'an, and other popular historical figures won't be brought into the My Fair Princess plot.
This is a My Fair Princess fanfic, and only a My Fair Princess fanfic, so I'll follow Aunt Qiong Yao's original design as closely as possible.
After all, this is Aunt Qiong Yao's world and worldview, which doesn't have to conform to reality.
I may favor some characters, but I'll try not to bash anyone, and will make sure to back things up with evidence from the books.
The "letter delivery" in the title refers not only to Xiao Yanzi helping Ziwei deliver a keepsake to Qianlong, but also to something else...
**************************[New Work] [New Work] [New Work]**********************************
The ending will probably go something like this. I'll come back after the National Day holiday to finish up all the details.
The Monkey King won the vote for my next work. To thank everyone for your enthusiasm, here's an early spoiler:
The Monkey King's disciple is Zhao Yun. If you're interested, you can look at Zilong's life in both official and unofficial histories and guess what Zhao Yun learned from the Monkey King.
[1] A Journey to the West fanfic, inspired by Zhang Jizhong's version of Journey to the West.
The Black Bear Spirit says to Sun Wukong, "I'm off to keep the Bodhisattva company. You go beg for food!"
Ah, what a desolate feeling.
The protagonist transmigrates into a peach tree, cultivates into a peach spirit, and then follows Sun Wukong on his journey to the West.
[2] A The Walking Dead fanfic. I'm thinking of having the female lead transmigrate and run into Lu Xiaofeng, who has transmigrated too.
The female lead has no special powers or pocket dimension. She'll work hard to grow stronger, but Lu Xiaofeng will also be her biggest cheat code.
Poor Lu Xiaofeng. He's clearly an amazing character, but in Jinjiang fanfics, he always ends up as a supporting character.
[3] An entertainment-industry fanfic, but not set in the real world.
Inspired by a Tianya forum post asking what would happen if the Four Dan actresses and the Two Bings were all in some emperor's harem.
So I'm planning to write a palace-intrigue story, with the characters all based on those big-name stars.
Their career trajectories will basically follow the real ones.
Finally, I wish everyone a happy life and all their wishes come true.
