After Transmigrating to the Modern World, I Let It All Go

Welcome to sample Sweet Romance in a Period Drama. My next book is Being a Cutesy Girl in a Period Drama. Please add it to your collection.

Blurb: Gu Qingrao was the legitimate daughter of a prominent family, raised from childhood to meet the standards of a distinguished household matriarch.

She was a master of poetry, literature, and the arts, managing a household, and teaching proper conduct. There was nothing she wasn't good at.

The model young lady (who had seen through the world) Miss Gu had enjoyed a smooth life in her boudoir for over a decade.

She had just been promised the best marriage imaginable and had already planned to coast along (and live off her family's wealth) for several more decades.

But then she drew an extremely unlucky fortune stick.

Miss Gu gave a faint smile. It probably wasn't happening in this life. Maybe in the next.

Who knew that when she opened her eyes, the next life had arrived...

The important thing: This is a feel-good story. The heroine never had to swallow her grievances, even when she was the legitimate daughter of a prominent family, and she has even less reason to do so after becoming a woman of the modern age. The heroine is dull and aloof, but in truth, she saw through the nature of life in an ancient household. She had planned to follow the rules and quietly live out her days, but when she opened her eyes, she had arrived in the modern world. Now that she has finally gained her freedom, I'm no longer who I was. So who am I?

Blurb for The Happy Life of a Top Student in the Seventies:

Cheng Lin was reborn. In his previous life, he had the ability but lacked an education, and missed his chance to become a worker-peasant-soldier student. He could only watch as people less capable than him went to the city for college, while he was killed in a flash flood after someone set him up. In this life, he was determined to study hard, shake off his illiteracy, and get into college!

Everything else was unchanged, and all was under his control. Except, why hadn't the educated female youth who had returned to the city soon after arriving in his previous life left this time? And why did she seem so... strange?

Cheng Lin narrowed his eyes. Something was off.

Si Wen was a top student who knew nothing except studying and reading. Perhaps she had stayed up too late reading and died of exhaustion. In any case, when she opened her eyes, she had returned to the glorious 1970s, when labor was held in the highest esteem.

Si Wen, who had never lifted anything heavier than a book, was in trouble. If she ate without working, people would point fingers and talk behind her back!

And why did this man keep sizing her up with a gloomy look and trying to pry things out of her?

Just when Si Wen thought she might have been found out, the man brought her a delicious meal. "Eat more. Once you're full, teach me how to read this character, okay?"

Si Wen... He seemed pretty sharp, but apparently there was something wrong with him!

Later, this man who seemed a little off pampered Si Wen to no end.

Blurb for Between the Regent and the Sickly Beauty, I Keep Bouncing Back and Forth:

When the late emperor passed away, he could barely close his eyes as he looked at the young new emperor. With no other choice, he entrusted the new emperor to Prince Cheng, a man with great military achievements. He also left an imperial decree: Prince Cheng was to marry Song Yao, the daughter of the Minister of Rites.

The court officials erupted in protest. The late emperor had certainly left himself an ace up his sleeve. Everyone knew that the Minister of Rites' daughter had been bedridden since childhood and was beyond the help of medicine.

Prince Cheng, Han You, accepted the decree with a cold expression. What was the problem? Once she was dead, there'd be no issue.

But he never expected that when he opened his eyes again, he would be lying in a brocade chamber filled with the smell of medicine, barely breathing and one step from death.

Prince Cheng, Han You: Hold on, don't die just yet! I take back what I just said!

Song Yao, the Minister's legitimate eldest daughter, had a fine-sounding name. In reality, her mother was dead, her father had remarried, and she herself was dying.

Then an imperial decree of marriage suddenly arrived, shocking the Minister's household as they prepared for her funeral. Miss, please wait just a little longer before dying. At least live long enough to become a princess consort!

Song Yao had no time to think about anything else, because when she opened her eyes, she was in the imperial court. A crowd of people knelt below her, and her utterly unreliable father was kneeling and kowtowing to her.

Theme: By changing identities, the heroine experiences the difficulties faced by different people and gains a new understanding of life and values. She grows along the way.
