The story is complete. A huge, huge, huge thank-you to all the sweethearts who've supported me along the way. Mwah!
Ordinary Sheng Yunxi transmigrates into the Kangxi Emperor's empress.
Wait, which one?
Kangxi's beloved first empress, Hesheli, died in childbirth at twenty-two. Her son was deposed twice and died, and her family fell into decline.
She married him at twelve and lived for ten years. Every empress after her died young. Isn't that a clear case of a man who brings death to his wives?
After they died, he mourned them every year, yet kept bringing new consorts into the palace.
She's just a lowly cannon-fodder commoner, with a life as fragile as paper. She's done putting up with it.
Whoever wants to be empress can be empress. Whoever wants to bear his children can do it.
She finally managed to survive and get her youthful glow back.
All she wants is to breathe fresh air for a few more decades, admire pretty women, eat fruit, and enjoy a quiet life.
Empress Xiaozhaoren, icy beauty, jealous possessive type, and high-level assistant at Kunning Palace: Niohuru.
Empress Xiaoyiren, who spins and leaps, and is an expert at losing weight by eating grass: Tong Jia.
Genius and wise consort Borjigit, a little Mongolian girl.
Granddaughter of a Han general, Li, a fitness-loving young lady with abs.
Consort Hui, Nala, gentle and refined. Consort De, Uya, elegant and graceful.
Consort Rong, Ma, a scatterbrain and the empress's number-one fan.
And the peerlessly beautiful Consort Liang, Wei, a shy loner who likes to huddle like a mushroom.
Everyone has their own taste in flowers. The girls stick close together.
Later, Sheng Yunxi discovers she has a magical portable space.
She can farm, harvest fruit, admire beautiful women, and still win without lifting a finger?
Well... it's pretty easy.
The consorts: grumbling and cursing (not really).
Later still, Sheng Yunxi asks, "What on earth did I give birth to?"
The Crown Prince: I really don't want to be Crown Prince anymore.
A few notes before you start:
1. A slow-paced, everyday-life story, and a long one too. Consider yourself warned.
2. The history is partly fictionalized. Thank you.
3. This story uses anti-piracy measures. Thank you for supporting the official version. Mwah!
4. The heroine is a lazy slacker who quits. She has no heart. The spiritual spring setting is explained later, but consider yourself warned.

Up next: The Crown Prince's Kindergarten (Qing Transmigration)
After being born into the body of a little dumpling, Yinreng
resolves to work hard to raise Kangxi's successor.
He doesn't care about that stupid throne. He can leave it to someone else.
The Fourth Prince would do a fine job too.
After drifting for three hundred years, he wants to conquer the stars and the sea,
not just chicken butts and a couple of eggs.
First, though, how can he bring these dozen or so kids together?
There was a good kindergarten in later generations. Raising one Fourth Prince is raising one; raising a dozen is no different.
Once they're all together, surely they can get along.
With the Fourth Prince helping to look after them and keep an eye on the mischievous Prince Zhijun,
it shouldn't be too hard.
At first, Kangxi thought his precious son simply had no playmates.
Later, he realized the kindergarten had raised an army of little dumplings,
ready to go out and make the world submit.
What could a doting father do?
Of course, support them!
Eventually, Kangxi realized that all the heirs he'd raised wanted to go adventuring abroad. Only then did he see the problem.
Yinreng: Father, there's a vast continent in the Southern Hemisphere, and kangaroos are so much fun. I'll go catch one for you...
Kangxi: When did I say I wanted to see a rat???
Prince Zhijun: The Crown Prince said there are penguins in Antarctica! I want to see them before he does.
Kangxi: What's so interesting about seven geese???
Third Prince: There's a mine in North America!
Kangxi: Don't you like calligraphy and paintings?
The Third Prince said impatiently, "Elder Brother the Crown Prince said we can paint with minerals. Father, you don't understand."
Fourth Prince: There are diamonds in Africa.
Kangxi: What's so special about a rock?
Fourth Prince: Elder Brother the Crown Prince said they're the hardest diamonds in the world.
Kangxi: (Not quite.)
At last, Kangxi looked at the quiet Seventh Prince standing off to one side. Surely this one, with legs that weren't even the same length, wouldn't run off?
"Yinyou, come tell Father where you want to go."
"I want to go to South America. I heard everyone there has long legs."
"...Did the Crown Prince tell you that too?"
The Seventh Prince nodded innocently.
Kangxi looked up at the sky. Fine, he could still have more children. He could just start over.
This time, I'll run the kindergarten myself!!!!!
The princes in numerical order shook their heads: Father is so childish, fighting with the Crown Prince for attention.
