The Fragrance of Wind, the Blossoms in Full Bloom

She's just a petty tomb robber. Dig up a few grave goods, sell them for a handful of copper coins, and she can scrape by.

But of all the graves her father could have sent her to rob, he had to choose Lord Yongzheng's.

Everyone knows he's a famously stingy man. If she steals his grave goods, he'll surely hang her up and beat her, then make her his slave for the rest of her life, with no hope of reincarnation.

And so she crossed three hundred years to be taken to task by Lord Yongzheng...

In the fortieth year of the Kangxi era.

The man wore a silver-white robe beneath a sapphire-blue jacket embroidered with gold thread. He held an inscribed folding fan. His lips curled into an undisguised smile. With a snap, he opened the fan and waved it in front of his chest.

He said, “Little girl, are you all right? Don't you watch where you're going?”

Then he said, “What's wrong, little girl, not watching where you're going again? You see all these princes and still don't know to pay your respects?”

He even said, “If you feel more at ease staying with Ninth Brother, then don't come back.”

And he went on, “If you can make the Princess Consort happy, I'll marry you. If you can't, then go back to the Forbidden City and stay there like a good girl.”

All his truths, lies, and nonsense earned just one final reply from her: “I want to watch you build a snowman...”

She's a tomb robber. Digging up other people's graves is already bad enough, and somehow she even dug up a female ghost...

She's an imperial princess by decree, but she's already had the bad luck of being born from someone else's affair. And then the old Emperor Kangxi takes a liking to her...

She's a clueless fool, and getting dragged into this struggle is tragic enough. Somehow, she even ends up as a concubine...

The story starts off very slowly, so please bear with me. Treat the opening as a silly, fluffy story. JJ is acting up and has disabled the code, so scroll down before bookmarking it. *sigh*

This very long story will begin switching to paid chapters from Chapter 78 on February 11. *sigh*

Apparently every paid story can earn you points. Short reviews must be at least 25 characters, and long reviews at least 1,000. First come, first served.

This story is an extremely slow burn, but I'm sure that if you have the patience to finish it, I won't disappoint you... (I think.)

There shouldn't be any more chapters with missing content now.
