The Stepmother’s Child-Rearing System (Qing Dynasty Transmigration)

[The neighboring novel, My Stepmother Focuses on Raising Kids (Qing Dynasty Transmigration), is now available. Come check it out!] Tong Mingjue accidentally bound herself to a child-rearing System. Then she transmigrated into the daughter of a top-ranking noble family in the Great Qing. With a family background like hers, Tong Mingjue was sure she could throw her weight around anywhere in the capital! All she had to do was marry into a wealthy family, get her husband to help her raise children, and earn rewards. What a wonderful life of lying flat! But then an oral decree came from the palace, ordering her to enter. Tong Mingjue, who knew nothing about history, suddenly realized: So she was Yongzheng's adoptive mother, the short-lived empress who held the title for only eight hours? Looking at the fierce little Yinsi and the baby Yinzhen still in swaddling clothes, Tong Mingjue hesitated. Were the children in the Forbidden City easy to raise? System: You don't just have to raise them safely to adulthood! You also have to make sure the brothers are respectful and get along harmoniously! Remembering the tragedy of the Nine Princes' succession struggle, Tong Mingjue nearly fainted on the spot. Help! She's just a weak woman stuck with a useless System! System (rolling its eyes): Who are you taking a dig at? Later, Yinsi and Yinzhen got into a huge fight over their Empress Mother's affection, pulling each other's braids and biting each other's trousers, like a pair of shrews. Tong Mingjue lectured them with a stern expression: Have you forgotten everything Mother taught you? Kangxi stood off to the side, completely unable to get a word in. Kangxi (meekly): Empress, look at me. Just once! One look, okay? Reader's Guide: This story focuses on family bonds.

[Beep! Since the Host has done good deeds every day and accumulated great merit, your life is not yet over. You have now received a second chance to save yourself!] The little spirit turtle was full of anticipation, only to discover... this merely meant he would return to chaos eight years later. Then forget extending his life! (Not really.) He had been an old ancestor blessed with a long life. Now he had become a little boy destined to die at just eight years old! The little spirit turtle kicked his legs up and decided to lie flat, as flat as he possibly could! But he had a sweet, soft mother who thought of nothing but his well-being, and a father who seemed cold and distant, yet still trembled ever so slightly when Honghui held his hand... Aisin Gioro Honghui began to waver! With such wonderful parents, why lie flat? Help me up, I'm ready to work hard! I want to be a good child for Father and Mother! And the System he came with turned out to be a good-fortune System. Could it really bring good luck to the people around him? Kangxi: With Honghui by my side, my heart is at ease. Everything tastes delicious, and I'm in the best of health! Yinsi (trying hard to hide his intentions): Fourth Brother, why not let Honghui stay at my residence for a while? In exchange, I can send Hongxi and Hongjin over to you! Hongxi (kicking and punching): No! I want to stay with little brother Honghui! [Bonus Scene] Extra! Extra! Word is that Prince Yong has finally stopped hiding his ambition! He's stormed into the Palace of Heavenly Purity to confront His Majesty! The palace's onlookers are waiting for a good show, while Consort De is already preparing to disown her son in the name of righteousness, her heart “broken with grief”! Who could have guessed that when Yinzhen reached the entrance to the study, he would let out a helpless sigh: Imperial Father, Honghui has been staying in the palace for quite some time. Can you give him back to me now? Kangxi: Maybe I'm getting old. My hearing and eyesight have been failing lately? The palace servants (speechless in unison): Just a moment ago, you were outside listening for cicadas to amuse Prince Honghui! [Presale: The Fourteenth Prince's Healing System (Qing Dynasty Transmigration). Click the author's page to see it.] Meng Ti, a good young man from the twenty-first century, transmigrated with a System and became Kangxi's fourteenth son. That's right, he was Yinti, the Fourteenth Prince who was favored by his own mother, Consort De, and had a terrible relationship with his older brother. This time, Yinti received a special mission. The System required him to mend his relationship with his own brother, the Fourth Prince, and soothe the wounds in his brother's heart. To complete the mission, little Yinti shamelessly clung to his cold-faced Fourth Brother. “Fourth Brother, hold me!” “Fourth Brother, give me a kiss!” “Waaah, little Fourteen fell and got hurt. I need a kiss from Fourth Brother before I can get up!” Later, everyone noticed that a chubby little boy had appeared beside the ever-stern Fourth Prince Yinzhen. The Fourth Prince, who was always curt with others, was patiently bottle-feeding the little one like a wet nurse, helping him get dressed, and playing the most childish games with him! The Fourth Prince absolutely refused to admit that he had changed. It was the little fellow's fault for being so clingy. There was nothing he could do! * Yinzhen had worked tirelessly throughout his life, devoting himself to the people of the realm, but there was always a painful wound in his heart that he could never get past. His own birth mother had been suspicious of him all his life. Before she died, she even scolded him as a treacherous usurper who had stolen the throne from his own younger brother. After his death, he unexpectedly returned to the age of ten. All he wanted was to repay his adoptive mother, Tong Jia-shi, for raising him, and to find a way to extend her life. But he never expected to get entangled with a little boy. This younger brother was the source of the pain in his heart, and he hadn't wanted to bother with his Fourteenth Brother. But this clingy little fellow seemed different from the one in his previous life?
