Qiao Wan transmigrated into an ancient world. Under the System's instructions, she diligently assisted the Crown Prince, overcoming one obstacle after another and helping him ascend the throne. At last, she completed her mission.
She drank the poisoned wine with satisfaction, dreaming that she would wake up back in her original world.
But when she woke up, she was still in that familiar bed.
Qiao Wan: ???
System: Sorry, I got the target wrong. The one you were supposed to help ascend the throne was Princess Leping.
Qiao Wan: The very Princess Leping I've impeached countless times?
System: Yes, the one whose wedding you disrupted, whose beauty you stole, and whom you drunkenly took liberties with.
Qiao Wan: ...Can I still jump into the lake right now?
System: Too late. This morning, the new emperor decreed that you are to marry her. The eunuch delivering the order is already waiting outside.
Meanwhile
When Princess Leping learned that her imperial brother had arranged for Qiao Wan to marry her, her smile gradually turned wicked. "I've waited three years. At last, you're in my hands."
In this setting, people of the same sex can marry. Both leads are strong, the feelings are mutual but unspoken, and it's a sweet one-on-one romance!
Reader's guide:
The setting is fictional, and any differences from historical reality are purely invented.
Also, although this is a fictional ancient setting, it's a transmigration story, so the language isn't especially classical. I'm mentioning that in advance so you know what to expect.
A little plug for my new ongoing story, The Doll I Picked Up Gained a Soul. Here's the blurb:
The Wenxiang Kingdom is famous for its dollmaking. The dolls here not only look just like people, but can move and take on all sorts of jobs. Of course, only the wealthy can afford these dolls. Ordinary people have no access to them.
One day, an orphan girl named Ruan Ping'an found a damaged doll on the roadside. She took it home and cleaned it, named it Taoliang, then spent most of her savings on a local dollmaker to repair Taoliang's damaged limbs.
From then on, Ruan Ping'an's lonely life had a companion. Taoliang cooked and did laundry for her, and kept her company on nighttime walks. In turn, Ruan Ping'an spent all the money she worked so hard to earn on repairing Taoliang's body and buying it pretty clothes.
"You've spent all my savings for a bride on yourself. Don't you think you should marry me?"
One day, Ruan Ping'an hooked a finger under Taoliang's chin and teased it. To her surprise, the doll, which couldn't even speak, suddenly replied.
"All right." Taoliang smiled slyly. Its lively face clearly belonged to a living person.
Ruan Ping'an: !!!
Help! The doll I picked up has gained a soul!
Pei Xia, the former chief dollmaker of the Linghui Pavilion in the Wenxiang Kingdom, disappeared overnight. The court issued wanted notices throughout the land. No one knew that she had put her soul into a low-grade doll, which was then picked up and brought home by an ordinary girl named Ruan Ping'an.
