The blurb is below this one. Blurb: I was working on a proposal right before I fell asleep. When I woke up, I'd been transported to another place: the fifteenth year of the Kangxi reign. Faced with the little pigtails, shiny foreheads, and flowerpot-bottom shoes I knew from all those palace-intrigue dramas, Fu Shunhua wanted to cry. Three years later, an imperial edict arrived, ordering her to enter the palace on a chosen date. It hit her like a bolt from the blue! A science student like her, mixed up in Qing palace politics? Was this for real? How could anyone be so cruel? (Utterly hopeless expression.) Sorry, but she really wished she could sleep forever and wake up back in her own time. But... wait... Were there any famous consorts with the surname Fucha in Emperor Kangxi's harem? ...There weren't... were there?! She'd better take a moment to calm down and keep her head down. After laying low for a while, she took a look at the flesh-eating flowers vying to outshine each other all over the palace... They were way too ruthless! Her poor life! (Screams at the top of her lungs.) Forget it. She'd better work hard, climb the ranks, and get results. After all, personal safety came first. Wasn't this just about getting promoted and a raise in the imperial palace? How hard could it be? Blurb for A Qing Dynasty Story: The Bayara Clan: One moment, she'd just won a war of words against the shameless relatives coveting her parents' inheritance and had her will notarized. The next, she'd become a new concubine in the Fourth Prince's household. Taking stock of her healthy body, Yue Ran looked calm on the outside, but inside she was squealing with excitement like a groundhog. But... huh? Had she been sent here by Consort De's younger sister? And was she also the distant niece of Consort De's younger sister's mother-in-law...? (Covers face and cries.) Knowing from the history books that the mother and son were not close... Was she going to be left out in the cold? This was too absurd! WTF! The original owner also had a childhood sweetheart she was in love with? Em... Could things get any worse? But it was fine. No matter how terrible things were from the start, she could still laugh her way to the end with her own abilities. The Draft History of Qing records: Imperial Noble Consort Zhuangchen, of the Bayara clan, was a member of the Plain White Banner of Manchuria. She first served as a concubine in the household of the future Yongzheng Emperor, then rose to the rank of secondary consort. At the start of his reign, she was made a noble consort and granted the title Chen. She had one son, the emperor's fourth son Hongjing, later titled Prince Ming, and one daughter, the emperor's fifth daughter, Princess Gurun Jingyi.
