After transmigrating, Lin Huaiying became Niohuru Huaiying of the Qing Dynasty. Though she belonged to a prominent Manchu clan, her father held no influential office. Even so, the previous owner of her body had managed to become a princess's companion. That was an inspiring feat in itself.
Daughters of the Eight Banners were forbidden to marry without permission. They had to go through a selection process first. Huaiying calculated the years and realized that by the time her turn came, the emperor would be old and all the princes would already be married. Given her family's standing, she probably wouldn't even qualify for an arranged marriage.
Men in the twenty-first century couldn't be relied on, let alone in an era when having three wives and six concubines was commonplace. Only gold and silver would never betray her. So every day, Huaiying hoped the princess would get married. Then she could leave the palace and rent a storefront. What couldn't she sell? With silver in her hands, she could stand tall and speak with real authority.
Unexpectedly, this round of selection was specifically arranged to choose a secondary consort for the Fifteenth Prince, and once again she got absurdly lucky. Good grief, she hadn't gotten a domestic-strife or farming-life script. She'd gotten a palace-intrigue script for the future!
Huaiying, who only wanted to get rich, was left completely baffled. Was someone messing with her? Ha.
