(My upcoming novel, This Empire Belongs to Me, is now open for preorders. Please add it to your collection!)
After transmigrating, Xue Ying becomes the eldest legitimate daughter of a merchant family, orphaned and left in charge of the household.
At home, she has two young siblings to support. Outside, her ruthless uncle is trying to seize the family business. When Xue Ying opens her eyes, the original owner, pressured from all sides, is about to marry into a powerful local family.
The carefully selected match is a notorious fourth-rank general who has never married because of his reputation for bringing his wives bad luck.
Just after the marriage is arranged, the general is disfigured on the battlefield. The original owner catches sight of the terrible, still-healing scar on his face and dies of shock and grief. In her place is Xue Ying, a woman from the 21st century.
As her fiance, overcome with shame, considers breaking off the engagement, Xue Ying lies in bed, hand over her heart, and weighs her options:
She can't think of a better plan than the original owner's, so she can't call off the marriage just yet. Besides, her fiance has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, and a scar on his face. He's exactly her type. There's no reason she can't give romance a try.

This Empire Belongs to Me
Author: Yi Qingruo
He Xinghui transmigrates into the daughter of a minor official and, at fifteen, is given in marriage to the current Prince Qing.
Before he leaves to take up his fief, the Dowager Princess holds her hand and weeps, saying that Prince Qing is still young and immature, and asking her to be patient with him.
He Xinghui takes her seriously and raises Prince Qing into a pampered wastrel who knows nothing of hardship and cares only for pleasure.
She thinks she's done a great job. Members of the imperial clan can get into trouble by being too capable. Better to just coast through life.
Twenty years pass like this.
Then the emperor dies without an heir, and the ministers install his younger brother, Prince Qing, on the throne.
Faced with a mess of a court and a husband who can no longer be set straight, He Xinghui, now empress, feels a headache coming on.
Scheming in the harem is out of the question. The concubines are all gorgeous and talented, and so charming when they talk. She loves them. She can't handle political intrigue either, so she can only rely on the painkillers, penicillin, cement, and hybrid rice she's developed over the years to make life look almost manageable.
At thirty-five, when her peers are already doting on their grandchildren, He Xinghui begins the grand and turbulent life of a legendary empress.
Theme: Strive for happiness.
I think the heroine said she was looking for chili sweet potatoes, but she didn't get any at the end.
I would like to make a general suggestion for the article. I feel that there are too many descriptions of similar psychological activities from the perspective of God, but there is not enough direct dialogue/behavior of specific characters? Apart from the male and female protagonists, the images of the other supporting characters are relatively vague. It's not just that I don't know their appearance/clothing, but it feels like their characters are not "live" enough. Just like some people have certain psychological activities that are arranged by others, rather than caused by their experiences. The lack of vivid characters sometimes lacks the sense of fun. It may need some supporting characters to make jokes and make it feel less like reading a ten-year plan for urban development in ancient times. I feel like the group portraits in the next book will be much better! And the next humanistic care is also more meticulously and organically integrated into the plot. The humanistic care and portrayal of female images in these two books (especially the next one!) May exceed all the online articles I have read. Thank you so much!
I remember it was nitrogen?
When I was watching videos, I saw a copper fan manufacturer at Station B. Except that the color is yellow, the reflection effect is no worse than that of a mirror. You can also read the small-print instructions clearly (there are no bumps and bumps. The bronze mirrors in movies and TV series are too perfunctory).
The heroine always gives me a feeling of dying soon, a sense of urgency that she wants to leave something of her own to the world before she dies, but she is obviously still young, and the things she makes cannot be said to be useless, but they are not related to the basic survival of the people. There is no need to be so anxious, especially letting others go to America. Please, that is the other side of the earth. It is such a long distance, regardless of the danger, is someone else's life not life?
It's very interesting, but I feel like it could have been written a little more. What the heroine did earlier was so smooth and it went by in no time. I like the heroine's character very much. She has a big heart and is neither arrogant nor impetuous. She has outstanding abilities.
How can you cut things with a lathe without an electric drive? It feels like you still have to sharpen it repeatedly with a blade or something?
Finished spreading flowers!!!!
It seems that both gentlemen have something...
It's pretty good. I read their stories~
