The Technically-Minded Side Consort

[My Life as a Tycoon After Exile is now updating! Coming soon: Madam Lingluo / This Immortal Isn't Proper. See my profile for the blurbs.]

Transmigration is a skill.

First, you have to transmigrate into a Bannerman family, or you might lose your feet.

Second, you have to be born into a Bannerman family eligible for the palace selection, or you might lose your knees.

Third, you have to be a Bannerman who can fail the selection, or you might lose your head.

Song Liuli thinks she's done a pretty good job. She's got the first two covered, and based on her sly little maneuvers, the last one should be all but guaranteed.

Instead, she gets carried into the Fourth Prince's residence in a blue sedan...

Song Liuli: Isn't there already a Lady Song in the Fourth Prince's residence???

The unwilling Lady Song soon realizes that skill alone isn't enough. Sustainable skill development is what really matters!

Reader's Guide:

1. The Qing Dynasty setting is partly fictionalized, so don't scrutinize the history too closely. The "skills" here aren't technical skills. The author is a humanities student and can't write an engineering genius!

2. The anti-piracy setting is 70%, and the anti-piracy period may change from time to time. Don't read if that's a problem for you. No reposting of this story is permitted. Thanks for supporting the official version!

3. If you've bought the whole story, please leave Gouqi a rating~ Many thanks!

--Blurb for My Life as a Tycoon After Exile--

Miao Wan only realizes she's transmigrated into a palace-intrigue novel while being exiled with her husband's family.

Of course, palace intrigue has nothing to do with her.

She's the cannon-fodder first wife her childhood friend, the heroine's cousin Qiao Ruichen, married at his parents' behest.

The Qiao family gets caught up in palace intrigue, framed, and sent into exile.

This first wife can't endure the bitter cold of the northwest. After a miscarriage, she falls ill and dies, appearing in the novel's epilogue only as a grave.

Miao Wan looks at her mother-in-law, shivering in a broken-down house as she embroiders to support the family, and her sister-in-law, washing vegetables with swollen, radish-like hands. She feels her rounded belly and sighs.

Well, what's done is done. First, let's set a small goal: avoid ending up as a grave, and make a little bit of money. A whole lot of it.

As for being unable to endure the bitter cold of the northwest and miscarrying?

She's a born-and-raised girl from the northwest, famed far and wide as the Pig-Raising Queen. She's raised over a thousand pigs. How could she fail to raise a little dumpling?

Not a chance.

Reader's Guide:

1. A fictionalized historical setting with a bit of everything. The male lead and the original heroine have no romantic entanglement, and the heroine is already pregnant when she transmigrates.

2. The story starts in the northwest, with plenty of feel-good wish fulfillment and no frustrating setbacks.

3. The main plot is raising a child and making money. There's little romance, and the male lead is basically a tool.

Theme: My fate is mine to decide, not Heaven's. No matter what, keep striving to live a better life!
