After Marrying My Adoptive Brother, He Was Made a Prince

Fan Xi was born into a farming family. Until she was seven, she worked the fields with her mother and older brother, while her junior-officer father lived a drunken, debauched life with his concubine. She thought she would be lucky if she could marry someone in the county town one day. When she was eight, Fan Xi fell seriously ill and suddenly awakened the memories of her past life. She thought she would be content if she could use what she'd learned in her previous life to help her mother and brother live better. When she was twelve, her marquis father came looking for her. Fan Xi thought that from then on, she would marry into a prestigious family or wed the son of a high-ranking official. Life in a large household was complicated, but having enough to eat and wear without worrying about making ends meet would be pretty good too.

When she was three, her mother died of an illness, and her father soon remarried. Rong An lived a quiet life in the inner residence. At fifteen, just as she was about to come of age, her fiance, the irreverent Prince Huai, unexpectedly inherited the throne and then made her empress. She'd been promised a carefree prince, but suddenly she had to become mother of the empire. Rong An was... a little panicked. New Emperor: Don't panic, An. I'm here. Theme:
