After Transmigrating Into a Book as a Fake Crown Prince, I Must Become a True Empress

Recommended completed no-romance stories in my collection: The Jilted Fiancee Who Escaped the Plot, The Fake Crown Prince Who Transmigrated into a Book and Wants to Become the Real Empress, The Old Woman Who Transmigrated into a Farming Family, The Laid-Back Cultivator, and Quick Transmigration: Crossing Tribulations, Volumes One and Two. A new story in the same genre, The Founding Empress Wants to Become Emperor, is complete. Blurb for this story: He Shu was born into the Great An Dynasty with memories of her previous life. She thought the greatest trial of her life would be being made into a fake crown prince by her parents, despite having four older sisters. It turned out she was still too naive, and had underestimated the true power of a life full of misfortune. Her father was peerless at keeping himself alive, but lacked every skill needed to be emperor. To stay alive and protect her entire family, He Shu had no choice but to take on great responsibilities at a young age and work hard to become a hapless crown prince who controlled everything from behind the scenes. After more than a decade spent making money, building roads, constructing waterworks, and gradually putting her plans in place, He Shu learned in a dream that she was living in a world derived from a novel. Her close friend from her youth, Shen Zhuo, the teenage top scorer in the imperial examinations, was the male lead of this world. And He Shu was merely a weak and incompetent crown prince who would give the empire to the male lead before being killed in the fall of her dynasty, an expendable character who didn't even survive three chapters. A similar female-emperor story, The Founding Empress Wants to Become Emperor, is available to follow in my collection. Blurb for the ongoing xianxia story The Jilted Fiancee Who Escaped the Plot from the Start: Le Qingyi transmigrated into this cultivation world as a baby. She didn't know it was a world derived from a novel, or that she was the jilted fiancee in a novel where the male lead followed the jilted-fiancee trope. When she was seven, her father wanted to arrange her engagement to the son of an old family friend. Le Qingyi firmly refused. She simply couldn't accept an arranged marriage at the age of seven. When she was ten, her father's friend and his wife both died far away. The boy who had almost been engaged to Le Qingyi was discovered to have a useless Five-Element spirit root, and was bullied by his family. With nowhere else to turn, he went to the Le family home to seek help from his late father's old friend. To help him learn how to survive, Le Qingyi personally took him under her wing and taught him how to do business, step by step. So the male lead, who was supposed to suffer all sorts of humiliation and setbacks before finally being recognized as a peerless genius, instead took a completely different path and grew into the cultivation world's strongest cultivator and greatest merchant. The Plot Deity was deeply troubled and tried to use Le Qingyi, the variable who had been straying from the plot from the very beginning, to set things right. It failed. The Plot Deity sent a transmigrated woman who knew the plot, hoping she could use her knowledge to correct the story as it strayed further from the main storyline. It failed again. The Plot Deity sent a reborn woman to get close to the male lead and steer him back onto the main plot. That failed too. The Plot Deity was devastated. The male lead was very satisfied with his life, and Le Qingyi was delighted. Watching this new world flourish and prosper, the Heavenly Dao was proud of its inspiration back then.
