I'm Just This Kind of Woman (Qing Dynasty Transmigration)

The entire story is complete. Little darlings, please leave a rating~ (bows)

[Content warnings]

No historical fact-checking! No historical fact-checking! No historical fact-checking! Please don't compare these characters to real historical figures. Look how desperately I'm pleading!

This is a partly fictionalized Qing Dynasty. The heroine's golden finger is extremely powerful. The Nine Dragons' succession struggle is a complete non-event; they all unite against outside threats. I aim to keep the major events true while taking liberties with the minor ones, so historical accuracy fans should stay away. I won't debate it. Isn't it more fun to write happily?

The heroine looks delicate and beautiful, but is actually a shameless schemer. She's the Qing Dynasty's Oscar-winning actress and comes with all kinds of miraculous medicines. Romance isn't the main plot. If you're a passionate fan of a particular character, I recommend writing your own story.

Don't take the events in this story seriously. Reading is the ladder to human progress, so remember to study!

[Lighthearted blurb]

Ask: What's it like to have an older sister?

Crown Prince: Don't ask. All I want is for Dad to love me again.

Fourth Prince: My sister inspired me to start cosplaying. She's the biggest reason I'm making a photo book...

Eighth Prince: My sister taught me, "Let Heaven know I won't give up." You can't let your status define you. Knowledge changes your destiny. Be brave and chase your dreams!

Ninth Prince: Make lots of money with my sister, buy a big house, ride big horses, and eat and play together for the rest of our lives.

Tenth Prince: We were supposed to study together, but she secretly became the Qing Dynasty's number one playboy...

Thirteenth Prince: My sister's beautiful singing voice always lingers in my heart... "The Man Who Rides the Horse" is so mighty and majestic!

Fourteenth Prince: Take my sister away, quick!

Lingyi (holding a chart of average lifespans for royal princesses): If I live to eighty, the whole Qing Dynasty will bow beneath my skirt... of power~

Kangxi: Ning Chuge, use your charlatan abilities to figure out which of your younger brothers is fit for the job.

Lingyi: Sure. Let's see which unlucky brother will become a bald freak, working overtime every day to handle government affairs, drinking goji berry and ginseng tea to stay healthy, and still making time to date modern-day reincarnators like me...

The unlucky brothers (huddling together in terror): Don't come near us!

[Serious blurb]

Later generations are always amazed by the strange behavior of Princess Gurun Huirong, Aisin Gioro Lingyi, and her decision to marry into a barbarian nation. Yet even stranger are her father and brothers, who accept everything she does and give her their wholehearted support.

In her time, the twilight of feudalism is gradually fading. The tolling of bells is accompanied by the faint clatter of industrial machinery. The clouds shrouding the vast empire slowly disperse. The tide of a new age begins to roar in the mysterious East, eventually sweeping across the world...
