I Conquered Kingdoms with My Fairy Persona

Complete, so feel free to start reading!

Content warnings:

1. There is a male lead (but the actual romance only appears in the extras. In the main story, the feelings are only faintly hinted at).

2. This is a fictional setting, so some customs and conventions differ from reality (for example, forms of address, objects, and crops).

For details, see the full explanation at the end of the blurb.

Zhu Ying is a miserable corporate drone. Even more miserable than a corporate drone, though, is someone who finally gets a rare moment to play a game, only to drop dead...

The first thing she sees when she opens her eyes is a landscape strewn with corpses and a handful of surviving soldiers.

As she appears, a glow fills the sky, and within several miles, dead trees burst into life. Even the man before her, barely alive and covered in sword and knife wounds, slowly opens his eyes.

Everyone thinks she is a goddess who has descended to earth, and they all kneel in worship.

Zhu Ying smiles awkwardly. Actually, this is just a skill that comes with the game character she played: an utterly ordinary healing spell. It just has an unusually large area of effect and comes with its own background visuals. (Otherwise, she wouldn't have spent money to pick this character. She just wanted to indulge her girlish dreams!)

Given that the era she has transmigrated into is rather terrifying, with the feudal states all practicing slavery, the only way to survive without being captured and sacrificed as a human offering is to maintain her fairy persona.

Who knew things would get completely out of hand? Not only does she successfully fool all the feudal lords, with kings and ministers bowing to her wherever she goes, she even helps raise up a great hegemon. She boosts productivity and almost conquers the lands across the ocean, too.

Zhu Ying: "I do not approve of human sacrifice."

Human sacrifice: abolished.

Zhu Ying: "I have superior seeds from the Divine Farmer."

Granaries: full.

Zhu Ying: "My books contain countless remedies for illness."

Illness: cured.

Zhu Ying...

In short, this is probably a story about someone who only wants to keep up her fairy persona and have a happy time wandering (deceiving) around the feuding states, but ends up improving the lives of the common people along the way and charming everyone she meets.

There is a male lead. He's the guy covered in swords and knives, stabbed until he looks like a pincushion, who opens his eyes in the blurb.

Content warnings:

1. I started writing this because I wanted to indulge in wish fulfillment, so the entire plot serves that purpose. The author is determined to write a feel-good power fantasy. Even if I have to throw reason out the window, I will make it happen!!! (I want my girl to be the happiest heroine ever!)

2. The setting is similar to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Note: similar, so the entire story takes place in a fictional world. To emphasize, it's fictional! It will probably include things that differ from the historical setting and customs we know. If tomatoes or watermelons show up, that's perfectly normal.

Recommended: My friend Shun Yun's The Noble Consort Doesn't Really Want to Be Buried Alive

At seventeen, Qiu Yi is summoned to the palace as a good-luck bride, with plans already made for her to be buried with the old emperor.

A seemingly hopeless situation: how can she escape it?

[The three ways a woman in the palace can save her life: a powerful family, a child, and a relationship with the next emperor.]

From then on, the Noble Consort gives advice and resources from inside the palace, transforming her family's household of upright officials into a powerful clan entrenched in the court.

One day, she picks up a child nobody wants. The boy is wild and hard to tame, and his dark eyes often watch her. "When I grow up, I'm going to marry a beautiful woman like you, Lady Qiu." Qiu Yi glances at him and replies lightly, "Then you'll have to become emperor first." The boy grins. "It's a promise."

Two years after the new emperor ascends the throne, a woman of unknown identity appears in Yongning Palace. "Do you still remember our promise, my lady?" The once frail child holds Qiu Yi in his arms. "I forgot," she says calmly.

The new emperor toys with the chain dangling from her wrist and leans close to her ear. "When you tell too many lies, my lady, it's only natural for your memory to suffer."

[An exquisitely beautiful, scheming Noble Consort x a new emperor who starts out an innocent little rabbit, turns too dark, and needs to win back his wife's heart]

*Three thousand words daily.

++The heroine is truly cold-hearted. At first, she does whatever it takes to survive; later, she fakes her death, all while happily pursuing her ambitions.

Upcoming story:

I Rely on My Jinxed Tongue to Stay Alive

In an era consumed by war, the Han Chinese are treated as two-legged sheep by the northern invaders, suffering endless humiliation. Natural and man-made disasters leave people starving. They sell their children to eat, yet still struggle to survive.

Cui Shuruo has it even worse. Not only does she transmigrate into this era, she arrives just as the city gates are about to fall.

Unfortunately, her new body is beautiful. If she falls into the hands of the cruel invaders, it's obvious what will happen to her.

Luckily, Cui Shuruo has a strange skill: her jinxed tongue makes bad things come true whenever she says them.

Faced with the choice between lying flat and waiting to die or struggling a little before dying, Cui Shuruo decisively chooses the latter.

And so, a dead bird falls from the sky and kills the enemy commander. The soldiers attacking the city suddenly slip and fall flat on their faces. For some reason, even though a corner of the city gate has been breached, they just can't get inside.

Gold, silver, and beautiful women are within reach, but these unlucky bastards just can't get their hands on them.

Inside the city, Cui Shuruo racks her brain, trying every unlucky trick she can think of. Then a young general charges in from outside, meeting no resistance along the way. He leads his troops into the enemy army, swinging his blade and claiming countless heads.

At last, the young general rides up to Cui Shuruo, a red-tasseled spear in hand. Thinking he's descended like a god of war to save her from danger, he flashes a bright, toothy grin. "My lady, are you all right?"

Cui Shuruo gives him an exhausted, rather than polite, smile. She's fine, except for her dry mouth and aching jaw.

This is probably the story of a man who thinks he's rescuing a damsel in distress, unaware that she's the jinxed-tongued woman who turned the tide of battle.

Theme: No matter when or where you are, or what circumstances you find yourself in, never lose heart.
