The previous champion of the palace intrigues, the transmigrator Empress Dowager Ji, was assassinated on her twenty-fifth birthday and fell from a high platform. The original Ji Yun had returned.
Ji Yun's memories stopped when she was fifteen. Back then, as a young palace maid, she studied hard every day and finally passed the female official exam, earning her dream job: warehouse keeper in the emperor's treasury. The pay was high, the benefits were good, the work was easy, and it was close to where she lived.
She planned to coast in the job, eat and drink for free, and gossip with her friends about the imperial consorts and the emperor, then work until she was fifty and retire. She would buy a house and land outside the palace and spend her retirement with her old friends... Then a transmigrator took over her body for a full ten years, changing the course of her life forever. She went from being a bystander to the Empress Dowager.
Ji Yun had "won without lifting a finger" and become the envy of everyone, the ultimate champion of palace intrigue, Empress Dowager Ji. But this wasn't the life she wanted. She just wanted to be a couch potato. Before she could achieve that dream, though, she had to figure out two things:
Who wants to kill this widow?
The late emperor has been dead for over a year. Whose child am I carrying?

The next historical romance, Back to Before My Husband Castrated Himself, is now open for pre-orders. Blurb: In the lonely and treacherous Forbidden City, when a palace maid and a eunuch become husband and wife, they are said to be "food companions."
Wei Wei married a dead eunuch to get revenge. The food-companion couple married first, then fell in love. They weathered all kinds of storms together in the palace, always supporting one another and never parting. In the end, the eunuch became the chief of the Eastern Depot, wielding enormous power at court. He avenged her and, remarkably, retired at the height of his career, ending his life in peace. He went to Nanjing to serve as a eunuch in charge of the local garrison, where he and Wei Wei rocked slowly in their chairs together into old age.
Wei Wei knew that the dead eunuch was softhearted but stubborn. His greatest regret in life was that he couldn't give her a child. When she woke up, she had been reborn at seventeen. By her reckoning, this was the year the eunuch would castrate himself.
Wei Wei decided to stop him: "I'll take my own revenge. You can keep your manhood."
One-sentence summary: Keep your manhood. I might need it someday.

I want to watch the extra story about the time-traveling girl
The first part is pretty good, but the title of the novel written by the heroine at the end... And the pen name are a bit weird.
So happy! My Hu Shanwei! Dreams come true! I just hope that the Concubine Guide won't be filmed like that! I hope the drama version comes from a reliable company, a reliable director, good filming, and good casting!
