She woke up to find that she had transmigrated into the body of a palace maid in the Qianqing Palace.
Though she tried to keep a low profile, the rules of transmigration meant she was destined to cross paths with the princes.
Torn between her longing for freedom and the many ties she had formed within the Forbidden City, she could not make up her mind.
History could not be changed. She took part in the joys and sorrows, yet remained a mere bystander.
Life stretched on, hazy as a dream.
As the years passed, how would she choose to live her life?
Announcement: The complete novel will be discounted by 50% starting Saturday, August 22. The discounted chapters run from Chapter 37 to the end, so please don't buy them again if you've already read them. Thank you for all your support so far. I hope you'll continue to support me, too. Hugs and kisses!
The extras are posted separately. Please visit my author page.
A few notes:
1. The author is obsessive about proofreading and revising, but generally only changes the wording, not the plot, so there's no need to reread the novel.
2. This book follows the female lead's entire life, beginning with her transmigration. Its outline is based on the Veritable Records of the Qing Shengzu Emperor, and the story follows what the female lead sees and hears.
3. There are quite a few male supporting characters, but little palace intrigue. The historical research is present but not exhaustive, and the female lead is rather indecisive.
4. I wrote this book during university, while I was ill for two years and didn't know if I would live or die. In the depths of despair, I wrote this story so that she could live once in my place, which is why I used the first person. The female lead is very much like me, and her early experiences are also much like my own. You could say it's an intensely personal story. Since it was my first work, it also has some major plot holes and has become something of an embarrassing relic. But I still love this story, so I won't lock it away. Consider this a warning before you read.
5. This is a serious drama. The ending is perfect in my eyes, and I'll add some extras as well. The extras are posted separately, so please visit my author page.
Thank you all
Theme:
It's so bad, so bad~ You didn't tell us who that man was? Don't all the brothers call the heroine Xiaoruo? Sunshine, well, eight is like thirteen. It should be a happy meeting, but why should the male protagonist be sentimental?
No matter what, the heroine's character is still very close to reality. How could women with individuality be allowed to exist in ancient times, especially in the palace, and especially in the palace of the Qing Dynasty. I actually don't like Ruoxi in "Bu", she is too realistic (maybe understandable), but she obviously followed the fourth master to get close to the big tree, and after she followed the fourth master, she couldn't figure it out with the eighth master and the fourteenth master...
Maybe Fourteen was really busy at that time and went to the northwest for several years, so he didn't have time to have children, right? But later on, during the period of guarding the mausoleum, there seemed to be several more babies, including the prince, who were all too idle ~ haha
I don't want it to end ~ I doubt that we will meet Nine and Thirteen again in modern times
The most diligent and reforming emperor in history died. In fact, I like Yongzheng because of this. As for his love life, think about it, how could an emperor like him have time to fall in love? It's just that the later novels only made him better! Is Ningruo also going to die and return to modern times? Poor Twelve will have to endure for several more decades. Not to mention his life of wives and concubines, and fine clothing and food. In fact, as a modern person, it is difficult for him to adapt to the age without electricity.
Slender West Lake and Guilin are indeed beautiful, and they belong to the kind of natural beauty without decoration.
While the heroine has gained freedom and tranquility, she may still feel a little lonely deep inside.
Twelve is still very exciting.
Finally, I would like to take care of my relatives and friends in Tianjin and Dada, how are you?
It should be fun to go out and play. The scenery is so beautiful, but the heroine keeps thinking about them and reminiscing~ Oh~~ I also like traveling very much~ But it is not easy to ask for leave~ There are still winter and summer vacations, I am so envious~ Why didn't I seize the opportunity to go out and play~
Did you download the song in the article? It sounds great, but it's a pity that it only has the first two lines. What's the name of the song? I'm going to download it and listen to it.
"I can't enjoy such a beautiful scenery with them." That's all I can think of. Is there some story with Twelve in the end?
The bonus of summer is that you don't have to read one chapter every week.
In history, Master Jiu was so generous. It is rare for later generations to say so.
I cried while reading it again... Sigh~~ Maybe the heroine really should come back earlier to accompany 13~~ I saw Dazai crying and typing words at the same time, as if she was crazy, and it was really emotional~~ I have never written a novel, but I have seen people discussing it on the Internet before, and it seems that many authors put themselves into the writing~~ Dazai also needs to work hard like the heroine~~ I was also thinking about why Dazai arranged for the heroine to go out for a few years, but after reading Dazai's reply, I seem to understand? It is said that love is not the only surging and profound emotion in this world. In other words, the heroine loves 13, but has deeper feelings for 99? Emotional matters are so delicate~~It needs to be understood~~Maybe only time can heal everything
So many people end up dying early, hey~~ There is also a big one, "The reason why she committed suicide, according to rumors, was because she was raped, and out of shame and anger, she threw herself into a well." It has been blocked~ Although it can be guessed~~ The name of the Mongolian guide has also been blocked, so I can't guess this
