Upcoming: The Marquis's Bastard Daughter Just Wants to Gossip (now available). Blurb:
The office worker Jian Ruoning drowned in a flash flood and died, only to transmigrate into the body of a low-ranking concubine-born daughter in the Marquis of Xuanping's household in the capital. Her first ten years there were fairly carefree.
When she turned ten, the golden finger that always comes with transmigrating finally came online: a gossip System that existed solely for gossip. As long as she got the scoop, she got silver.
Fortunately, the Marquis of Xuanping's household was large and influential. Jian Ruoning's father was an aristocrat, her stepmother came from a prominent family, her grandmother was a member of the imperial clan, and her eldest sister was the heir's wife. None of them was especially high-ranking, but they had relatives everywhere, so juicy gossip kept coming.
What? The new cousin in the household is planning to elope with her sweetheart?
What? The top scholar in the imperial examinations abandoned his wife and child? And he's a live-in son-in-law?
What? My sister-in-law, who treats her in-laws dutifully and her husband with tender care, has a long-lost love?
What? The only son of the Duke of Yong's household is a switched-at-birth impostor?
What? The Princess of Danyang is in love with the capital's number-one wastrel?
Jian Ruoning felt like a crow in a melon patch, completely satisfied. Who could have guessed that one day she herself would become the biggest scoop in the entire capital?
Upcoming: The Qing Dynasty's Long-Lived Consort Ding. Blurb:
Shu Yu never imagined that after being hit and killed by a car, she would transmigrate straight into the Qing Dynasty, an era countless people had transmigrated into before her, and become a low-ranking palace maid of the Wanliuha clan.

Shu Yu decided to lie flat. She would live a peaceful life until she was ninety-seven, or better yet, live another three years and reach a hundred. But somehow, while lying around, she ended up becoming an Imperial Noble Consort.
Theme: Confidence and independence
In ancient times, the second and fourth traditional Chinese characters were completely different. Just like the popular legend that Yongzheng changed the fourteenth prince to the fourth prince. Those who would believe it are illiterate. What's more, the ranking of the one who did not write the name can be changed, and the name can be changed.
The beginning was good, but the ending was too hasty, and it seemed like there were interruptions in the story. The early rhythm is very good
I skipped chapters and read roughly. Just to talk about my own feelings, from the beginning of this article, the heroine was portrayed in a relatively full-bodied way. Although the heroine said she prefers a dull life, she will not escape when something happens. As for the male protagonist, he is really gentle, responsible, and an ancient image. The two of them actually match well, and the whole article is relatively warm, and there are not too many top-notch ones. This kind of warm feeling of long flowing water is probably one of the main impressions of this article, so overall, I think this article is good
I have finished reading this book. I just started paying attention to this book last year. I was very surprised at the beginning. The vicious stepmother came off the line quickly. It was fun to watch. The heroine and the male protagonist have a business online. However, the author has not updated it. Plus I have to take the postgraduate entrance examination, so I postponed it until now. I read it from the beginning in one go. To be honest, I was a little disappointed. The interaction between the male and female protagonists has not been sweet at all since they consummated their marriage. , The name of the heroine in the middle is wrong, just write Qinglan as Qingru, what is Chu Ning doing? It still occupies a chapter, and the author prefers psychological activities when describing the emotions and interactions between the male and female protagonists. The whole article is about what the male protagonist thinks and what the female protagonist thinks, and the female protagonist's outlook on life and love. It is enough to write it once, there is no need to write it again, and it is a bit long-winded. The advantage of this article is that the male protagonist is gentle and the female protagonist is smart, and both male and female protagonists are online. It is very warm and plain. I particularly like the author's description of the dating interaction between the two of them and the scene of eating together. The heroine also recalls the secret barbecue with her mother in childhood, and the entertainment activities of the heroine before she got married. It really seemed to me that I saw the heroine's ancient boudoir life and the plain and warm picture of the couple. It would be better if there were more of these descriptions and less psychological activities.
To be fair, it's actually quite good to get this ending after traveling through ancient times. It's a happy ending!
I'm stuck, let me think about it.
It's been sixty chapters and the hero and heroine are still like strangers. When will there be any progress in their relationship? It's hopeless.
In ancient times, there were many pairs of people for a lifetime. Even the kind of concubinage was not common.
