The Noble Consort's Glory and Wealth

My Weibo: @Que Shang Xintou Ya My new book, "The Empress Rises to Greatness," is updating now! Shen Chuyi is the lowliest palace maid in Yongfu Palace, yet she is exceptionally graceful and beautiful. That is precisely why the noble Consort Li chose her to bear a prince in her stead. On a snowy night, her coldhearted aunt washed her clean and sent her to the incense-filled eastern warm chamber. The bewitching incense was thick, the candlelight dim, and a scene of passion filled the bedchamber, but no one could tell who the beauty was. From then on, Yongfu Palace lost a serving maid, and Xiefang Hall gained a Buddhist servant. Her mother waiting desperately outside the palace, her sickly little sister, and her dream of reuniting her family all turned to nothing. On the day she discovered she was pregnant, she heard Consort Li murmur with a smile, "Once I have a prince, I can become empress." Shen Chuyi clenched her hands tight. The next day in the imperial garden, she collapsed into the young emperor's arms, her body limp as a willow. Her voice was soft and timid, her expression pitiful. "Your Majesty, this servant knows she was wrong." Her wrists were covered in scars, the familiar scent of Buddhist incense clung to her, and together they conjured an enchanting dream. Hefeng Palace gained a new Lady Shen. Shen Chuyi gently stroked her belly and smiled like a flower at the young emperor. In this glittering palace, family background didn't matter at all. What mattered was where the emperor's heart lay. Why should she risk her life to make someone else a bridal gown? Consort Li could enjoy wealth and glory, and so could Shen Chuyi. Wasn't it only the position of empress? Reader's guide: An old-school palace intrigue novel, set in a completely fictional world. The male lead is not a virgin. Focuses on daily life in the harem. The heroine's sole goal is to rise to the top! She becomes the emperor's only favorite later on. My Weibo: @Que Shang Xintou Ya. Please follow me! Please add my author page to your favorites!

Enjoy! My new book, "The Daily Life of a Maidservant in Bianjing," is now underway, with daily updates. Enjoy! After dying from overwork, Ji Shanying transmigrated and opened her eyes in Bianjing, the Northern Song capital. The good news: she was in a prestigious marquis's household, where the bells rang and the finest dishes were served. The bad news: she was merely a fire-tending maid serving the Third Branch, and a hereditary servant who was expected to work like an ox for the whole family. A gambling-addict father, a lovesick older brother, a gravely ill mother, and a broken-hearted her. A disastrous start. The real workhorse, born with a contract of servitude, had finally reached her breaking point. At five in the morning, Ji Fu gripped her fire poker and gazed at the rising sun with bright eyes. Her goal: become a third-grade maid. Time to get to work! Whether before or after she transmigrated, Ji Shanying had only one thing on her mind: Get promoted, earn a raise, and make lots of money!
