Blurb:

When Rong Si was seven, a young boy came to the Nanyang Marquis Manor. A minor dispute between them escalated into a fight in the manor's back courtyard, and neither could gain the upper hand. In the end, Rong Si glared at the boy and said viciously, "You'd better not mess up my hair again, or when I grow up, I'll become your mother!"

Ten years later, Rong Si got her wish...

In the seventeenth year of Jian'an, Emperor Jinhui fell gravely ill. The Imperial Astronomical Bureau predicted that a woman blessed with exceptional fortune and a noble fate would have to marry the Emperor to bring him good luck.

Rong Si, enjoying the show: Who could possibly be nobler than me? My family has been distinguished for military achievements for three generations, and my paternal aunt is a highly honored Noble Consort Dowager who helped raise the current Emperor.

The Imperial Astronomical Bureau added that the chosen noblewoman had to be peerlessly beautiful.

Rong Si, still enjoying the show: I hate to brag, but I'm Nanyang's greatest beauty.

Finally, the Bureau emphasized that she had to have a tough constitution!

Rong Si, laughing: Hahahaha, I bring bad luck to everyone!

In the end, the Nanyang Marquis, the Emperor's most trusted and relied-upon subject, sent his legitimate eldest daughter, Rong Si, into the harem.

Rong Si: You have got to be kidding me... (on an endless loop)

Everyone said the Crown Prince was so ill-fated that he brought death to his wives. Three Crown Princesses had died before their weddings.

Lately, Crown Prince Xie Heng wasn't bothered by his reputation for bringing death to his wives. What left him speechless was seeing Rong Si, the legitimate eldest daughter sent by the Nanyang Marquis Manor to the palace to bring the Emperor good luck. Xie Heng's face darkened. He had only messed up the little tuft of hair on her head as a child. Was Rong Si really that vindictive? Did she actually want to become his mother?

[Years later]

Rong Si: Looking back on my years as a stepmother, there wasn't a single person in the harem who could stand up to me!

Xie Heng: ...

A little dumpling gazed at Rong Si with starry eyes.

Rong Si, looking proud: Even your father is no match for me...

Xie Heng peeled a grape and popped it into her mouth. "Please, just stop talking!"

Completed work: The Side Consort Nian in the Qing Dynasty. Please add it to your collection!

Blurb: After an accident, Nian Ruoyao transmigrates into the body of Nian, the Fourth Prince Yin Shen's side consort, just one month after their wedding. In the TV drama, she was the arrogant Consort Hua, who loved having people beaten with the red stick.

Nian Ruoyao keeps her head down. She doesn't dare act arrogantly, so she can only watch the Fourth Prince and his primary consort carefully and live by their moods. She also repeatedly warns her family and her two older brothers not to let favor go to their heads and to keep a low profile.

Under Nian Ruoyao's repeated urging, everyone in the Nian family follows the young lady's example. They work for the Fourth Prince without seeking credit or rewards, and when given a small gift, they act so terrified they cry out for their parents.

Fourth Prince Yin Shen: Something's off. This is very off. What exactly is the Nian family plotting?

When he sees Nian again and hears her timidly call him "Fourth Master," Yin Shen's heart melts. What could the Nian family be plotting? They're simply keeping a low profile, working hard, behaving properly, and devoting themselves to him.

Blurb for The Supporting Female Character Refuses to Follow the Plot:

Shen Xirong had a dream before her coming-of-age ceremony.

In her dream, her half-sister Shen Yuru had transmigrated into this world. After recovering from a serious illness, she became a celebrated genius of the capital. The royal family discovered that she was the daughter of the late Grand Princess, and she enjoyed a life of wealth and glory.

Several years later, Shen Yuru and her childhood sweetheart Xiao Yu seized the empire together, becoming the founding Emperor and Empress, remembered for generations to come.

At the end of the dream, the Shen family did not prosper alongside Shen Yuru. Instead, rebel troops slaughtered the entire clan.

Shen Xirong herself was strangled by a trusted aide of the Xiao family the day before Shen Yuru's coronation as Empress.

After waking, Shen Xirong looked at her transmigrated younger sister, who had yet to gain a foothold, and decided to play along with her, nice and slowly.

==

Shen Yuru transmigrated into a book. According to the story, her elder sister should obey their father's wishes, elevate her concubine mother to the status of primary wife, and give Shen Yuru the identity of a legitimate daughter of the Shen family.

What's more, her elder sister's childhood sweetheart is the male lead, who is in love with Shen Yuru. Her sister's noble status is also a stepping stone for Shen Yuru to reach the top.

As the book's supporting female character, Shen Xirong is destined to have nothing in this life, existing only to make Shen Yuru's life seem smooth and fortunate.

Enjoying the halo of a transmigrator, Shen Yuru waits with confidence for the day she becomes the founding Empress.

Day after day passes. Xiao Yu, who becomes the new Emperor in the book, is currently just an idle official with an inherited title, while Shen Yuru remains the Shen family's second-born daughter by a concubine.

Shen Yuru realizes that the script for her and her elder sister seems to have been reversed. Shen Xirong, who was supposed to be her stepping stone, is living better than anyone.

Theme: The world is vast, but family and country come first.
