Synopsis:

One morning, Tong Siro woke up as Tong Gege of Prince Yong's manor, freshly carried into the estate in a small sedan chair.

Tong Siro had nothing but a pretty face, and she discovered that Prince Yong already disliked her before she'd even met him.

Could she just go to sleep and wake up back where she came from?

Since she was here, she decided to make the best of it. Tong Siro resolved to be an easygoing couch potato in Emperor Yongzheng's harem, keeping a low profile and living off free food until she died.

But she never imagined that by the end, this couch potato wouldn't have faded into the background at all. She'd become an Imperial Noble Consort!

Upcoming story: The Illegitimate Son

With a princess for a mother, a high-ranking official for a father, five generations of high officials, and a family celebrated for a hundred years, Yuan Jing thought she had nothing to complain about in life apart from her frail health.

But after a long, vivid dream, she learned that her whole life had been nothing but a joke.

The princess's household was peaceful and happy for now, but she knew that before long, her father would return from Lingnan with an illegitimate son who was three years older than her. His arrival would shatter the household's outward harmony.

Her parents would turn against each other, her relatives would grow distant, and everything she'd had in the first half of her life would slip away.

In the end, she would watch that illegitimate son overturn the Zhou Dynasty, step by step, and ascend to the throne.

After that came the nightmare of her life.

She'd always known that he hated her and her mother to the core, but she never imagined that one day he would take pleasure in humiliating her.

On the night of his coronation, in the pouring rain, the wine-scented man whispered in her ear like a demon: "Yuanyuan, you can't escape."

Pain turned to hatred.

When Yuan Jing awoke, she looked out at the same heavy rain that had fallen on the day she first met him, and a boundless hope suddenly rose within her.

Fortunately, the illegitimate son hadn't come to the capital yet. She still had a chance to change everything.

She made up her mind to sever the tangled relationship between them from the very beginning in this life.

But...

When she walked out of her little courtyard, full of hope, she found a figure both strange and familiar standing outside her father's study.

"Yuanyuan?" The man raised an eyebrow.

She would never forget that face.

The person who shouldn't have been there was standing right there.

Suddenly, she felt as if she had fallen once more into endless darkness.

(Both leads are reborn; guaranteed happy ending.)

*

The heroine won't be abused, except during the transitional parts.

May be a bit of a Mary Sue.

Please don't nitpick the historical details; there are many fictional elements.

The pairing is with Yongzheng. No switching. The real emperor won't have genuine feelings at first, and might develop them later. The heroine never falls for him.

I want to write a lighthearted Qing transmigration story just for fun.

Thematic message: No matter what happens, live well. Love yourself and the future, and keep moving toward the light.
