A Qing Palace Survival Guide (Qing Dynasty Transmigration)

Coming soon: "The Empress's Difficult Lot": Who says an empress has to be virtuous and dutiful? "Brocade Through the Four Seasons" is complete. The bells ring, the drums sound, and delicacies fill the table. Ye Weilan smiles as she looks at the fine hand she's been dealt. After transmigrating into a book as a supporting female character, the easygoing Ye Weilan sees no problem with any of it. Beautiful as a flower, peerless in grace. The Marquis of Qingning has a wife who excels at everything. But the Marquis of Qingning has his troubles too. What should he do about a wife who's too aloof? This is the story of an easygoing young woman who transmigrates into a book and a politician-marquis who seems gentle but is scheming within. Different people will ultimately lead different lives. An alternate-history setting. The heroine transmigrates into a book. The original book and its characters are entirely the author's invention and not based on real people. Any resemblance is coincidental. Readers who like it, please take a moment to add it to your favorites. It would be even better if you favorited the author too. [Smiling] Story blurb: One day, Shu Yao transmigrates and becomes a low-ranking palace maid in the Forbidden City of the Qing dynasty. She means to keep her head down and live out the life she'd been given in peace. But she is unexpectedly pushed into the emperor's bed, made to take another woman's place, and, while pregnant, is killed so the child can be kept alive. The Uya clan uses her child to secure its rise, then makes life difficult for him at every turn. As a drifting spirit in the Forbidden City, Shu Yao watches her child suffer, powerless to comfort him. She sees Yinzhen, now emperor, work himself to death, then falls into a deep sleep. When she wakes, she has become the young lady of the Guarjia clan who drowned and died. See how Shu Yao, given a second life, takes revenge on her enemies and enjoys a leisurely life... A few things to keep in mind: 1. This story is entirely fictional. Any resemblance is coincidental. 2. Some parts are historical, others are the author's invention. If you're here to nitpick the historical details, please move along. 3. The heroine is neither a fool nor a Mary Sue. This is not a tearjerker, nor is it overly sweet. The tone should be fairly understated. 4. This is a new author's first attempt. If it's not to your taste, please don't flame me. Just click the X. P.S. Since you said the cover looked like a carrot, I've decided to change it. Thanks to dear Chunfeng Ru Xiang for kindly providing the cover. VIP announcement: I've arranged with my editor to become a VIP title on September 30. Please take note. There will be three chapters that day. Thank you all so much for your support and company so far. I hope we can keep going together. Love you all!
