The Ninth Imperial Consort of the Great Qing

Chu Jin transmigrates into the body of a maiden selected to enter the palace in the fourth year of the Qianlong era. Unwilling to enter the palace and serve Emperor Qianlong, that heartless womanizer, she instead turns to Fucha Fuheng, the empress's younger brother. From then on, they share a lifetime together, devoted to one another alone. Everyone envies Fuheng for marrying the most beautiful woman in all of Manchu and Mongol lands. When someone asks him about Chu Jin, at first he has only four words to say: "It is my duty." Having taken her as his wife, he will protect her for the rest of her life. So why did he fall in love with her later? Perhaps it was because when he was sent a thousand miles away, Chu Jin followed him without hesitation. Perhaps it was because when he was gravely wounded, Chu Jin prayed before the Buddha and offered up years of her own life in exchange for his. Or perhaps she had already taken root deep in his heart, leaving him unable to break free. [Little Vignettes] One day, a maid strikes a coquettish pose while serving tea. The next day, Fuheng sends her away. One day, a subordinate offers him a beauty. The next day, Fuheng strips the subordinate of his official rank. One day, his childhood friend and cousin gives him sidelong glances, her eyes full of affection. The next day, Fuheng visits her home and urges her father to find her a husband soon. A painfully straight, steel-willed head of the Male Virtue Class vs. a gorgeous, scheming little green tea Blurb for The Crown Prince and the Orphan Girl: Lin Mingyi is an orphan with no one to rely on. When she is young, the Zhou family takes her in. Though she is treated as one of the household, her status is awkward. Later, because she is infatuated with the third master of the Zhou family, Zhou Ziteng, she is manipulated into becoming his concubine. In the end, Zhou Ziteng succeeds in usurping the throne, and Lin Mingyi and her child die on the night before he ascends to the throne. When Lin Mingyi wakes up, she has returned to the year she turned fifteen. She wants nothing more than to marry a good man and live a quiet, happy life. She searches and searches until she finds a poor soul whose tragic background mirrors her own, only to discover that he is... the crown prince? If Zhou Ziteng is a true dragon reincarnated, then Yuwen Chi's very existence has been a mistake from the start. His strange illness has made him a disgrace to all of Great Yan. In her previous life, Zhou Ziteng rallied the senior ministers under the banner of "purging the court of evil officials and executing the tyrant" to overthrow the Yuwen clan. Lin Mingyi feels that Yuwen Chi is even more pitiful. She doesn't dare hope to marry him, but remembering how wretched his last life was, she still decides to help him... ** Everyone says Yuwen Chi is a cruel, vicious madman, a monster who should never see the light of day, and that one day he will destroy all of Great Yan. But no one knows that, to Yuwen Chi, the kingdom and its power are shackles, a prison. If he loses them, so be it. His one dream, ever since childhood, has been to leave the filthy, sordid imperial palace. But one day he meets a little girl who asks him if he's in pain... Yuwen Chi's lifelong dream then becomes this little girl. He only wants to place the very best of everything before her. Theme: A person must not be too weak
