I Cannot Die

A sibling novel to this one is out: I Must Not Die I, the Emperor, cannot GO DIE!!! I must not die!!! When Zai Chun first transmigrated here, his mother was still Consort Yi. After giving birth to him, she was promoted by his short-lived father to Consort Yi Fei. The following year, when Zai Chun turned one, she rose even higher thanks to her son and became a Noble Consort, second only to Empress Niohuru, his father's principal wife in the Eastern Palace. Her position was incredibly prestigious. Zai Chun was the only son of his father, Emperor Xianfeng, and the eldest prince. Since the empress had no children, he was naturally the sole candidate for the throne. Any other transmigrator faced with such a winning hand would probably be grinning in their sleep. But, very unfortunately... Zai Chun's birth mother, the Yehe Nara clan, also had a famous name in later generations: Cixi. When Zai Chun learned that his imperial father was Xianfeng, he nearly collapsed. The Qing Empire was now beset by troubles, with Western powers watching hungrily from outside and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising raging within. Even the court was rotten to the core, and the entire Qing Empire was on its last legs. This internal and external crisis reached its peak after Zai Chun's short-lived father, Xianfeng, died. Without Xianfeng as its linchpin, the empire's factional strife intensified. The Eight Regents and the imperial clan forces led by Prince Gong Yixin set up rival strongholds in Rehe and the capital. Zai Chun, his birth mother Cixi, and his principal mother Cian were trapped in Rehe, controlled by the Eight Regents. They were little more than figureheads, unable to act as they wished.
