Blurb, version 1.0
In her previous life, Qi Qinghe was a woman without desires or attachments. Then she transmigrated into a book.
She became a pitiful baby girl, unloved by her father and bereft of her mother. To survive in this man-eating mansion, she imitated the sweet, innocent personality of her younger sister from her previous life and began approaching the future powerbroker who lived closest to her...
The little girl, with a tiny blister on her hand, toddled over to the future powerbroker.
"Second Brother... Blow on it, it hurts. Qinghe is scared of pain more than anything..."
Qi Jing'an raised an eyebrow and teased her. "Really? Because I clearly saw you break your leg the other day, get back up by yourself, and walk back to your courtyard."
"Uh..."
Oh no. It seemed she'd accidentally let the truth slip.
*
The second son of the Qi family had been exceptionally gifted from childhood, with a talent renowned throughout Lanzhou. After successfully entering government service, he proved upright and incorruptible. He despised nothing more than people lacking virtue and ability.
So he never expected to be bewitched by a little girl. Worse, she clearly possessed every quality he hated.
Qi Erlang, already caught in the mire with no way out, consoled himself: Never mind. The girl is still young. There's plenty of time to set her straight.
And so Erlang played both father and mother, while the little girl often drove him half mad.
"Second Brother, what does 'A gentleman corrects his mistakes, while a villain repeats them' mean?"
"It means that correcting your mistakes is the best thing you can do."
"Qinghe doesn't understand. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. Good people are good, and bad people are bad. Why does changing your ways mean you're no longer a bad person? If you do something wrong, shouldn't you be punished or killed? Why give you another chance?"
"...Little girls shouldn't be so cruel."
"Mm, Qinghe understands now."
Qi Erlang was delighted, thinking she had finally come around. "What do you understand?"
But the little girl opened her mouth and said, "Since Second Brother doesn't like it, I'll take them outside to kill and punish them."
"...What?"
Up next: After Transmigrating Into a Book as a Tyrant's Stepmother, I Got Addicted to Infrastructure
Blurb:
Qiu Li, a doctorate in agricultural science, transmigrates into a book as the male lead's wicked stepmother, destined for a tragic end.
Qiu Li doesn't want to die that way. She sets her sights on Xu Jinmo, a future powerful eunuch, becomes his fiancee, and uses his name to build up her own influence.
·
Her agricultural knowledge is her greatest golden finger:
Three years of severe drought and no harvests? No problem. Grow wheat in sandy soil. It'll survive without water.
No rain and parched land? No problem. Ancient ingenuity meets new technology: the dragon-bone waterwheel is here to help.
Flash floods ravaging the land? No problem. Build dams to hold back the floods and irrigate the fields.
Disease spreading after a disaster? No problem. Prevention, quarantine, and medicinal herbs will keep the epidemics away.
·
Before long, she has earned the people's admiration. They even want to erect monuments and temples in her honor. Qiu Li feels the pressure, but then she discovers that the powerful eunuch has amassed hundreds of thousands of troops, with supplies, popular support, and weapons all in place. He's rebelling and becoming emperor!
Wait, I was just farming and building infrastructure. I never told you to rebel and become emperor! Has the plot gone off track? Did I just win my way into becoming empress?
·
The male lead's perspective:
Xu Jinmo, a reborn tyrant who has become a eunuch, never imagined that his wicked stepmother from his previous life would become this eunuch's fiancee.
He watches the young woman arrive with a keepsake, looking pitiful and seeking his protection. Her face keeps overlapping with that of the lofty empress dowager from his last life. Still, he welcomes her into the Marquis's residence, wanting to see what she's up to.
·
After discovering her extraordinary knowledge and original ideas, Xu Jinmo decides to use her to solve the drought in Qingzhou. But the more he takes advantage of her, the more he realizes that the woman before him is completely different from his stepmother in his previous life.
Back then, she coveted power. Now, she is kindhearted and capable.
And he has quietly fallen for her.
When he once again sits upon the throne, the civil and military officials all urge him to choose a consort. "A woman surnamed Qiu is merely a merchant's daughter. How can she be fit to become empress?"
Who would have thought that the usually wise ruler would suspend court for days, insisting on making her empress?
Advisor: Making Miss Qiu empress means making an enemy of the great clans! Your Majesty has the whole realm in your heart. How can you let romantic feelings sway you?
The emperor's voice thundered with fury. "I am an emperor forged on horseback. Since when do you pale-faced scholars get a say in whom I make empress?"
Later, the great tyrant stood outside her door, hugging a pillow.
"A Li, I can't sleep without you."
All my life I've struggled through the mire, fought across the land, and known nothing of love. I only wanted to keep power firmly in my grasp. But for you, I would share this realm with you.
P.S. This story isn't based on any particular historical period, so there's no need to read too much into it.
Pseudo-siblings, a sweet growing-up romance, and a face-slapping power fantasy.
Theme: Love is both armor and weakness.
He flew up and kicked the butler on the shoulder, and then the butler knelt down. Did the master kick his foot to the height of a person and did a full kick???
Forgive me for stopping at Chapter 23. I will come see you when I have money, my treasure (?_?) I really like Han Chun's novel "Queue". I love the sickly male protagonist the most!!! (Look at my nickname) (Crazy hint)
Random thoughts: I struggled for three times on the poison list before I got on the star show. I thought that this time I would finally be rewarded, but I didn't expect that I would take a selfie in the mirror to let myself know how bad my writing is. Although I kept telling myself not to care too much about the data, I still couldn't control it. I hope I can calm down and update well. Come on, Dahuahua
Because I care too much about data, I have been very anxious these days and dare not write. The longer I delay, the more anxious I become. The more anxious I am, the worse my writing becomes. Just let it go, I'm a Buddhist There is a time in life that must be there, but there is no time in life. Don't force it. Happiness is the most important thing!!
Can't you make some changes to your copy? How can you pretend nothing is wrong when you break your leg? You really feel no pain? I fell while riding an electric bike and it was so bruised that it was difficult to walk.
There will be 20,000 updates in the next two days. Please collect them. Please.
Hahahahahaha I think you are really crazy. Either you don't update for two or three days or there is a sudden burst of updates. But if you make up for what you signed up for in one day, rounding it off can be considered a stable daily update?? Come on, come on, keep chasing, keep chasing, leave comments, say goodbye to single-player!
What about the promised eunuch: If I just compare it to "Small Sickness", shouldn't I? I have you in my heart, she is already old in "Little Sickness"! Come and see me, woo woo woo
Finished with flowers~ Mainly because the male and female protagonists were too miserable in the later stage, especially the female protagonist
I really don't understand. The heroine is so weird. One moment she is sober, the other moment is worldly and cold, but the next moment she is a virgin. She knows that the child's mother is a bad person, but she still wants to play with this child and find a place where no one is around to play, emmm.
