*Blurb for the upcoming novels My Mother, Noble Consort Tong, Was Reborn and The Genius Pact-Binder is below. Please add them to your reading list!*
After becoming the widowed Princess Chun with neither husband nor child,
Shang Qijiang is presented with two choices:
1. Adopt an heir, then hand the entire prince's estate over to him one day.
2. Remarry, and hand the estate over to someone else right away.
She flips the table and refuses to play along.
Why should she have to hand over this vast Prince Chun's estate? Can't she stay here as its one and only mistress?
And what does it matter to her if there's no heir? As long as she's alive, wealthy, respected, and comfortable, that's more than enough!
She had planned to lie flat, but somehow she provoked the one person she should never have provoked.
Kangxi: "A Jiang, help me raise my children, and I'll make you Imperial Noble Consort. How does that sound?"
Shang Qijiang scoffs.
She wouldn't want to be empress, let alone Imperial Noble Consort!
She'd rather choose that gifted scholar who knows how to act cute and play the victim. At least he's pure and obedient.
She will never spend her life trapped inside palace walls, and she certainly won't compete for a rotten cucumber.
Later, everyone knows the emperor has fallen for his widowed sister-in-law, but his love is unrequited, and he is locked in a bitter rivalry with Nalan Xingde.
Nalan Xingde: "A Jiang, the emperor is trying to separate us again. You wouldn't really leave me, would you?"
Kangxi: "A Jiang, what's so good about a petty, jealous man? Dump him already!"
The ministers of the court: "...Princess, you still haven't remarried? Whichever one you choose, please decide already!"
Shang Qijiang: "...Heh. I wonder who kept getting in the way when I tried to remarry. Now you're in a hurry? Too late!"
She's in no rush. There are countless beauties in the world, but she's already taken her one and only sip.
Want her to remarry in a hurry?
Then come beg her!
Important notes:
1. This is a fictional setting with original adaptations. Please don't compare it to actual history.
2. Expect plenty of melodramatic, old-school tropes. Neither lead is chaste: one is a widow, the other a widower. Please keep that in mind.
Upcoming novel: My Mother, Noble Consort Tong, Was Reborn
Shushu transmigrates to the Kangxi era,
becoming the little princess just born to Noble Consort Tong.
Her mother loves her dearly.
It's said she refused the chance to become empress in order to give birth to her,
choosing to remain a consort for the rest of her life.
Shushu loves her mother dearly too,
and secretly vows to help her make up for her regrets.
But gradually, she realizes
her mother isn't incapable of fighting for what she wants; she simply doesn't want to.
Her mother even seems to have the power to foresee the future,
predicting blessings and misfortune,
and overcoming every danger and hardship without needing Shushu's help at all!
Everyone in the palace says Noble Consort Tong's little princess was born under a lucky star.
Ever since she arrived, Noble Consort Tong has never been sick again,
and everyone close to her has benefited too.
But only mother and daughter know the truth:
there's no such thing as being born lucky.
It's simply that a woman whose heart was broken finally got the chance to live again,
and has decided to stop letting fate bind her and to work hard to make a better life for herself and her daughter.
Shushu: "Mother, can we make a deal? Next time you 'work your magic,' could you please not make me take the blame?"
She's a real person, not some carp spirit reborn!
Noble Consort Tong: "Daughter, you must learn to make the most of your advantages. Only when you shine brightly enough can you take control of your own fate."
Her precious girl, whom she begged the heavens for in both her lives, deserves to shine. No one can block her light!
P.S.:
1. A pampered-everyone novel. The heroine knows her worth and is a proud little ray of sunshine.
2. The focus is on raising a child and family love. The heroine has no shortage of admirers from childhood, but she won't choose a partner until she's grown up.
Upcoming novel: The Genius Pact-Binder
In New Stellar Year 1314,
Earth, humanity's home planet, which had been sealed away for a thousand years, finally came back into view.
At the same time, the Federation announced the "Earth Cup" tournament.
Only teams that passed the selection would qualify to travel to humanity's home planet and obtain the source powers best suited for making pacts with humans.
The qualifiers attracted a great deal of attention:
"Fire is the strongest attacking element!"
"Ever heard of water putting out fire? Water is invincible."
"We Wind users have nothing to say. We just keep slicing the air~"
"Why don't you all try flying without landing? Earth is the source of all things!"
"In front of mutant elements, everyone here is trash~"
"...Is no one backing the Artifact class?"
"Don't kid yourself. What use is the Artifact class against the mighty natural elements? I'll bet every Artifact pact-binder gets knocked out in the first round!"
"+1."
"+1."
Yet no one expected the Artifact class, the least-favored of all, to display strength in the tournament that rivaled the Elemental class.
They weren't alone. They were a whole group of genius competitors, carrying thousands of years of cultural heritage and spiritual power.
Ming Cheng was reborn.
In his previous life, he believed other people's lies and abandoned his proud identity as an Artifact pact-binder. He forced himself to become an Elemental pact-binder, made it into the main tournament, and traveled to Earth.
Again and again, he gave up artifacts that had resonated with him.
But when deadly danger came, it was the treasures bearing the soul of his people that shielded him of their own accord.
They also used their remaining power to turn back time and give him the chance to be reborn.
So in this life, he will resolutely follow the path written into his blood, guiding the artifacts that bear an ancient spiritual legacy to shine once more in the world.
After the tournament, the Artifact pact-binder team, crowned champions, and the artifacts they had bonded with became famous throughout the universe.
When planets invited them to come and "put on an exhibition," Ming Cheng replied solemnly:
Sorry, but the artifacts I've bonded with are all cultural relics that cannot leave the country, so we can't lend them out~
Theme: Strive to become a better version of yourself
Isn't this plot a bit outrageous? When Rong Ruo comes back, he will face such a mess at home. What kind of status will Huiying have in Nalan's family?
I want to see the heroine become a queen and remarry [continued][continued]
Subtle plot, Hye Young...
That's right, girl, you have a great future, why bother to stick to a man you love?
Actually, I don't like them very much, but now I suddenly like them [bad laugh]
Please follow up this episode! When will it be updated?
I want to watch the daily life after marriage, a side story
""Rong Ruo, I like you for me..." This is a big bug for the author~ for me
How many chapters will this copy finish?
"Shang Qijiang received his grandson in the palace..." This is a big bug for the author~ "Just shouting 'no more' without hope"
