Even a Princess Must Farm Her Way to a Comeback

My new novel, The Noble Consort Rises to Power Through Farming, is coming soon. Please show it lots of support!

New novel blurb: Yan Shiyun, a novel enthusiast, transmigrates. Unfortunately, she lands in an imperial harem drama novel. She dreams of getting rich through farming and bringing modern civilization to the past, but reality gives her a harsh lesson.

So, as one of the few "clear-headed people" in the imperial palace, Yan Shiyun makes sure she knows exactly where she stands. Her core principle is to cling tightly to the unscrupulous emperor's powerful support and stay alive.

To secure the emperor's support, Yan Shiyun volunteers to become the sword in his hand. Whether in court or in the harem, wherever the emperor points, that's where she steps in.

But all she wants is to be a quiet little leg ornament. How did she end up on the empress's throne without even noticing? There's something wrong with this emperor!

The emperor: ...

A little scene:

The emperor: Noble Consort, I think Consort Li has been getting a little out of line these past few days. What do you think should be done?

Yan Shiyun: Understood!

The next day, Consort Li fails to greet the Noble Consort and is made to kneel for two hours. She falls ill as soon as she gets back.

The emperor: The Noble Consort is arrogant and overbearing. Confine her to her quarters for five days!

Consort Li: That's it?

The emperor: Prince Pingxi has overstepped his station and is using his military power to threaten me. Noble Consort, what do you think should be done?

Yan Shiyun: Consider it handled!

The next day, Prince Pingxi's wife and daughter are held in the imperial palace by the Noble Consort. That night, Prince Pingxi's residence is robbed, and the only thing taken is his tiger tally.

The emperor: Although this has nothing to do with the Noble Consort, the Princess Consort of Pingxi and the princess were frightened. Confine the Noble Consort for ten days!

Prince Pingxi: That's it?

The emperor: The empress's seat has been vacant for a long time. Noble Consort, what do you think should be done?

Yan Shiyun: I understand!

The next day, the Noble Consort suggests to the Empress Dowager that a virtuous and talented woman be chosen to enter the palace as empress.

The emperor: I think the Noble Consort is both virtuous and talented, and is the perfect candidate for empress!

The Empress Dowager: ???

Yan Shiyun: I have served Your Majesty for years without bearing an heir. How could I presume to aspire to the throne of empress?

The emperor: That's my problem, not my beloved consort's!

Novel blurb: Among the vast army of people who transmigrate, Meng Xiyuan is fortunate enough to become a princess.

Born to high status, yet living as lowly as mud?

After reflecting on the original princess's tragic fate, Meng Xiyuan decisively chooses to... take up farming.

What palace scheming comeback? What winning the emperor's favor? She's just not cut out for any of that!

To avoid dying in the first three chapters of a palace intrigue drama, Meng Xiyuan decides that farming, with its low risks and high returns, suits her much better.

But can someone tell her why people in the palace are keeping an eye on her when all she's doing is farming, making money, and casually flirting with her handsome husband?

What is this forced palace-scheming plotline?

Can she refuse?

P.S. This novel is set in an imaginary historical world, so please don't nitpick the details! Thanks for understanding!

Theme: Only by relying on yourself can you have a future.
