My completed novel, *Nine Sons of the Qing Dynasty Compete to Call Me Mother*, is available in my series. Subscribe if you like! The well-behaved Hongli has noticed that his father's been looking at him rather strangely lately. His teachers praise his diligence, his skill with bow and horse, and his graceful manners. What could his father possibly find fault with? As it turns out, plenty. Hongli writes some reading notes. His father reads them and flies into a rage: "Reflect properly on how you ought to read this book!" Hongli complains that the food is too crude. His father angrily flips the table: "Every meal is hard-earned. Go plant the fields!" After suffering one undeserved calamity after another, Hongli quietly asks the grandfathers who follow him around: "Has Father found out about you?" Second Grandpa: "Instead of thinking about that, why don't you read another military treatise?" Fifth Grandpa: "Why think so much? Go practice martial arts!" Seventh Grandpa: "Your father's birthday is coming up. Why not write him a calligraphy piece or paint him a picture?" Hongli: If he'd known asking would get him so much extra homework, he wouldn't have asked! Yongzheng has always considered himself a good father, if only he hadn't seen in a dream the mess his little rascal Hongli would make in the future. Favoring one consort above all others, throwing the harem into chaos. Courting the imperial clan, sparking one internal upheaval after another. Grandiose ambitions, extravagant spending... Son, how can you face your father, whom you worked to death?! Yongzheng resolves to set his son straight before he goes astray, but then he discovers that his son is accomplished in both letters and arms, and skilled in farming and commerce. How can that be? Content warning: This story is entirely fictional. Please don't compare it to historical records! Updates daily at 9:00 p.m. A chaotic father-and-son story about raising a child. This is the second book in my transmigration trilogy. Thank you all for reading and following! The third book in the series: *The Divine Beast Princess of the Qing Dynasty Calls Me Mother* Wang Mingyue has transmigrated. Good news: she's the mother of Emperor Qianlong's most beloved tenth princess... Bad news: The original owner made the little princess stupid. Watching the little princess spin in circles, trying to find the tail behind her, and insist in her baby voice that she's a divine beast... Wang Mingyue: Is it too late to destroy myself? [Two] The auspicious beast Baishou wakes to find the world transformed. The creatures she once protected have been reborn, and now... she has a mother! The Baishou clan is born auspicious, but bringing forth offspring comes at a great cost. Now that she's found her mother, she'll protect her mother's safety herself! And so: When her brothers give Baishou a present, the little one turns around and gives it to Wang Mingyue: "Do you like it, Mom?" When the Empress Dowager tries to scold her, the princess immediately steps forward: "Punish me instead! I'll take the blame for Mom!" The emperor glares furiously, but the little princess isn't afraid at all. She says righteously: "Father, you're male, so you should be protecting Mom. How can you bully her?" The emperor: "...What's going on? That actually makes a little sense." The tenth princess is the whole family's darling, and in turn, she dotes on Consort Dun, Wang Mingyue. A Qing Dynasty spin-off with a heavily altered plot in the later chapters. Don't read it as history. The Baishou clan is my own invention, its name a play on the word for "all beasts." Only female Baishou have the power to protect others. Once an adult female has offspring, she loses that ability. Female Baishou gradually grow weaker with age. A heartwarming story about family. Content warning: The princess grows up and becomes emperor in the extra chapters. Couple: Feng Shenyinde. A spin-off set in an alternate world. Another martial-arts story in my series: *Rescue the Whole Family After Binding a System*. Add it to your collection! Theme: A loving father and filial son can build a better future together.
