The Qing Dynasty Heroine's Cousin Is Reborn

Yun Rou only learns after her death that she was a cannon-fodder character in a Qing-dynasty transmigration novel. In the book, her cousin Yun Wan is the heroine, and the male lead... the male lead is the Fifth Prince, Yinqi. Who is she? She's the vicious cannon fodder who "gets in the way" of her cousin and the Fifth Prince. Her cousin feels that their grandfather favors Yun Rou's family and wants to make him regret it and feel sorry for her, so she schemes against Yun Rou. In the book, her cousin drugs her and causes her to miss the selection. Then she ruins Yun Rou's reputation so thoroughly that the Tatalas clan expels her. Yun Rou dies a miserable death, with not even a complete set of bones left behind. Anyone who so much as mentions her feels insulted, while her cousin earns a reputation for being dignified and gracious. Yun Rou, who did nothing wrong but died branded as a vicious cannon fodder: Even Dou E wasn't this wronged! Reborn, Yun Rou returns to the moment when it all began. She has just been framed by her cousin and missed this round of selection, and her cousin is waiting for news of her death. Dying is out of the question. She deals with the disloyal servants, exposes her cousin's false virtue in public, packs her bags, and prepares to enter the palace. She hasn't forgotten that an "enemy" is waiting for her there. In her previous life and the life before that, she became infamous, and Consort Yi had a lot to do with it. She expected a fierce battle of wits and wills. Instead, as soon as she enters the palace, she is made a Noble Lady, then a Consort, a Noble Consort, and even an Imperial Noble Consort. Consort Yi? Watching the palace consorts curtsey before her, Yun Rou smiles in delight. Content warnings: 1. This borrows the setting of the Qing dynasty but includes fictional elements.

Coming soon: The Third Prince's Wife, Reborn as Noble Lady Nara in Kangxi's Reign, and Princess Duanmin Is Everyone's Darling. Blurb for The Third Prince's Wife Wan Ning, a young princess of the demon realm, has had such an easy life that she's become a total couch potato. In a fit of anger, the Demon Emperor kicks her down to the mortal realm, where she becomes the legitimate second daughter of Peng Chun, a first-rank duke of the Great Qing (?). The Duchess of Peng Chun has been married for years without a child. The Duke's household has an eldest son born to an unfavored concubine, and an eldest daughter who was adopted and entered in the legitimate wife's register. The key point is that neither of them is who they appear to be: they're both transmigrators. The eldest son is the male lead of an rags-to-riches story. He endures oppression from his family before turning the tables and inheriting the ducal household. The registered legitimate daughter is a hopeless romantic who's set on marrying the Fourth Prince. The Great Qing favors children born to the legitimate wife over those of concubines. If the two want to escape their fates, they'll have to oppose the legitimate wife's side of the family. What's more, Wan Ning is already slated to become the Third Prince's wife. In his later years, the Third Prince is destined for a miserable life after his countless concubines and his confinement over the succession struggle. The Demon Emperor happily wags his tail. This time, Wan Ning will finally get her act together, right? The Demon Emperor waits and waits. The eldest son treats Wan Ning like the apple of his eye. Whenever he gets something good, he sends it to her room, not even letting his own mother touch it. The registered legitimate daughter clears the way for her at every turn, protecting Wan Ning like a chick and flying into a rage at anyone who so much as touches her. Even the Third Prince, rumored to like having beautiful women read to him, becomes Wan Ning's little shadow. If any woman comes within a meter of him, he scowls. The Demon Emperor: ... This isn't how the story's supposed to go! Weren't there supposed to be trials and household battles to the death? Why is everyone lying flat again?! Blurb for Reborn as Noble Lady Nara in Kangxi's Reign Yunhe's life was a tragedy. Born a noblewoman of the Manchu banners, she was selected for the palace as a child. She finally bore two sons, only for both to die young one after the other. She herself was framed because she failed to see through someone's true nature, and lost her life at a young age. That wasn't all. Before her body was even cold, her "friend" used her as a stepping stone, winning the emperor's sympathy and rising higher and higher until she became Empress Dowager. She thought that was the end of it. After all, she had been dead for many years. Whether gratitude or grievance, everything should have faded away. But that woman still wouldn't leave her alone. She claimed Yunhe's son as Tong Concubine's, and even ordered every trace of Yunhe erased, as if she had never existed. Though she was only a ghost, Yunhe trembled with rage. In the blink of an eye, she is back in the early years of Kangxi's reign, just after entering the palace. Looking at the woman before her, who smiles and flatters while hiding ill intent and scheming in secret, Yunhe lowers her head and sneers. Fine. If she doesn't make that woman suffer everything she endured in this life, then she isn't Nara Yunhe. Theme: A different approach can lead to a better life.
