A Native's Troubles in the Qing Dynasty

Ever since entering the palace, Yu Yao has felt that something is a little strange.

Consort Tong of Chengqian Palace always gives her gifts that are exactly to her taste, as if she knows what Yu Yao likes.

Answering Lady Yi looks perfectly ordinary, with somewhat dark skin and small eyes, yet everyone gazes at her face in amazement.

Lady Daijia always manages to make food that looks delicious but tastes like... blech. And yet the other consorts are willing to trade gold, silver, pearls, and jade for it.

Kangxi thinks the palace consorts are acting strangely. His cousin is always picking on his beloved consort. Answering Lady Yi is ugly, yet the Grand Empress Dowager is afraid he'll be bewitched by her beauty? Lady Daijia's food is wildly popular... Is he the only one who finds it hard to swallow?

He looks around the harem and finds someone who feels the same way?

Sigh. His beloved consort Yu Yao really is the only one who understands him. He'll dote on her, dote on her, dote on her.

Consort Tong, who transmigrated into a book; Answering Lady Yi, with her beauty-filter camera System; Lady Daijia, a food blogger; the Third Prince's Consort, who always thinks she's the heroine; a prodigiously talented scholar...

The native-born men and women have their wits about them, seeing through the transmigrators' schemes as the newcomers fight each other to the bitter end. They remain entirely unshaken.

The heroine is a seemingly sweet and innocent, bright and gorgeous beauty who is actually a drama queen playing dumb to catch her prey x The emperor is seemingly aloof and composed but is actually sharp-tongued, a master at spotting fake women, and utterly devoted to his wife.
