The Imperial Harem Exam

[My next novel, The Princess's Expired White Moonlight, is now underway and updating daily: an ancient-style love story between a fan and her idol]

A complicated emperor VS a favored consort obsessed with exams and utterly uninterested in winning his favor

Yu Wanqing: If you want palace intrigue, turn left and go find the emperor. I'm busy taking exams!

Also known as Palace Intrigue Can't Beat Exams, I Take Tests in the Harem, and The Emperor and His Favorite Consort's Ridiculous Daily Life...

To join the Ancient Division of the Transmigration Bureau at Jinjiang, Yu Wanqing has to take palace-intrigue exams in an ancient setting.

Even though livestream viewers can send helpful comments while she takes the final exam, the questions on the monthly tests are always utterly bizarre:

Multiple choice:

1. Which of the following is the emperor's favorite color ( )

A. Red; B. Yellow; C. Green; D. Black

2. The Noble Consort has been very upset this month. Which of the following is bothering her most ( )

A. The Empress's throne; B. The new little hussy; C. The emperor's favor; D. Oh my, being too beautiful is such a bother

Practical exam:

1. You must spend the night with the emperor at least five times this month. On the fifth occasion, look him in the eye and say the word "Get lost" clearly and loudly.

2. Collect the Empress Dowager's embroidered handkerchiefs. Your score is based on the number you collect, one point per handkerchief, up to ten points.

Yu Wanqing: I'm blessed with incredible luck, so why is it so hard to get a passing grade here?

Emperor: Want to pass? Beg me~

Yu Wanqing: The weirdest one here is you! Do you know how many questions I got wrong because you never say what you mean?!

Zhen Tingyun is the original heroine in a transmigration-into-a-book story, whose main purpose is to highlight the heroine's beauty and talent.

The heroine is her elder sister. She could compose poetry at three and paint at five. Hailed as the jewel of the capital, she is destined to marry into the royal family, ascend to the throne, and become the mother of the realm.

Zhen Tingyun: She's familiar with the story and has every advantage. She can recite Tang poems and Song lyrics, and the moment she transmigrates into a book, she can kick her little sister out to the countryside... I can't compete with that. Better to get by on my looks, find a man to marry as soon as possible, and stay away from trouble. That way, I won't get killed off as cannon fodder by accident.

And who should she marry? The old man she picked up along the way is handsome, has a great figure, and still seems usable.

Regent · Old Man · Prince: Is he any good?

Zhen Tingyun: …I, I was just saying.

The ministers: The prince has been looking worried lately. He must be concerned about state affairs. We may be unworthy, but we would gladly help shoulder his burdens!

Prince Su: The princess consort has been staying at school these past few days. Without me to help with her homework, she must be secretly staying up late again... Staying up late will stunt her growth!

The ministers: ...

My next novel, The Princess's Expired White Moonlight, is looking for readers. Updating daily.

As the only princess of the new dynasty, with an emperor for a father and three full brothers, Song Wanyu has no lofty ambitions. She just wants to lie flat and enjoy a life of wine and pleasure.

White jade for halls, gold for walls,

Pearls like dirt, jade like stone,

Fine clothes and carriages, fur robes worth a fortune,

Then her brother sent her expired white moonlight. His arms and legs were broken, half his face was ruined, and he had only a breath of life left.

Song Wanyu: …Sigh!

One-line blurb: You are my love that will never expire

I know you, and I will always remember you. Back then, you were young, and everyone said you were beautiful. I have come especially to tell you that, to me, you are more beautiful now than you were when you were young. I love your face, ravaged as it is, more than I loved your face back then.

-- The Lover

I know him, and I will always remember him. Back then, he was young and peerlessly handsome. Everyone had heard his name, and countless people admired him like the moon in the sky. Now I only want to tell him that I have always loved him, from that year until today, and my love has never changed.

-- Song Wanyu
