[Dream of the Red Chamber] Zhen Consort Wants to Stay Invisible

I transmigrated without warning, and everything from my past life vanished like a bubble.

Zhen Fei was a little resentful.

Luckily, she was born into a wealthy family, so life wasn't too difficult.

The only real problem was probably entering the palace...

Wait, you say the heir of Duke Rongguo, Jia Daishan, has returned victorious from battle?!

Please be sure to read these content warnings!

1. This is an old-fashioned story, and the author's brain is full of holes. The second half may not be very lighthearted, the plot wraps up too quickly, and some details aren't fleshed out. If you want something breezier, just read the chapters before the story goes premium.

2. The story takes place before Dream of the Red Chamber, and it has little to do with Dream of the Red Chamber (important!!). It also doesn't follow the usual palace-intrigue formula: very few characters die.

3. This Consort Zhen is not the original imperial consort from Dream of the Red Chamber. The butterfly effect causes major changes to the plot.

4. There are many original additions. Some clues appear in just a sentence or two, and plot points from chapters over a hundred may have been foreshadowed in the previous fifty chapters. Skipping chapters may make the main plot seem scattered.

5. The author's attempt to write clever palace intrigue has failed, so some parts may not be clearly explained. The story is divided as follows:

- Chapters 1-5: before entering the palace; chapters 13-71: the Empress Dowager's downfall; chapters 1-111: the entire struggle to abolish the chancellor's office.

- Most chapters marked "Extra" contain plot clues and have little to do with the heroine.

6. A calculating emperor versus a heroine who enjoys her own life. The male lead is a normal, career-minded emperor; there will be no talk of pledging undying love. The heroine is relatively clear-headed, though she occasionally loses her composure, and she doesn't like stirring up trouble.

Theme: No matter what happens, you have to keep living well.
