After Swapping Bodies with the Emperor (Qing Transmigration)

The upcoming novels Reborn, I’ll Strengthen the Nation by Getting Things for Free and The Moment I Opened My Eyes, I Became the Deposed Crown Prince are in my author’s column. Feel free to check them out. Four-year-old Crown Prince Yinzhen has just begun to understand a few important truths when, for no apparent reason, he gets bound to a System claiming to be his future self. Its mission: make him swap bodies with his beloved Imperial Father every day! At first, they only swap during the day. Little Yinzhen is forced to sit on the lofty dragon throne, listening to a group of adults below him talk about things he doesn’t understand. With no other choice, the little bundle with a Crown Prince exterior and Kangxi interior has to attend court and listen to government affairs. The ministers are stunned: His Majesty truly dotes on the Crown Prince! Later, they start swapping at night, too. Little Yinzhen opens his eyes while still half asleep, only to find himself in an unfamiliar palace. Wide-eyed, he pouts, then suddenly starts crying and calling for his “Huang Ama.” Little Kangxi rushes over in the middle of the night, furious, but still has to clean up the mess for him. * After spending several years as the deposed Crown Prince, Yinzhen has gone mad. When he opens his eyes again, he has returned to his childhood and gained a remote control that lets his younger self and his young Imperial Father swap bodies. Looking at the little Yinzhen who has absolute faith in his Imperial Father, and the young Kangxi who dotes on his son, the deposed Crown Prince strokes his chin, finding it all rather amusing. * [Bonus Scene] Kangxi holds little Yinzhen and teaches his son that a Crown Prince should be kind and respectful to his brothers. Yinzhen nods, taking this to heart. The deposed Crown Prince sneers from the sidelines. “Putting on an act.” The next day, after the body swap, Kangxi is the first to greet Yinzhi when they meet, but all he gets in return is a nod. After punishing Yinzhi, Kangxi holds little Yinzhen and earnestly teaches him that a Crown Prince must understand the distinction between ruler and subject. Yinzhen looks utterly confused. The deposed Crown Prince sneers from the sidelines. “All fake affection.” * 1. Dual protagonists, with Yinzhen as the lead and the deposed Crown Prince as the supporting lead. 2. Midway through the story, Kangxi from the deposed Crown Prince’s world will cross over. In other words, there will be two Kangxis and two Yinzhen. 3. The CP is the Crown Princess, but she is just a backdrop for the plot. 4. Probably not very long. * Coming soon: Upcoming novel 1: The Moment I Opened My Eyes, I Became the Deposed Crown Prince Fifteen-year-old Crown Prince Yinzhen is at the height of his glory. His Imperial Father dotes on him, his younger brothers trust him, and he is as free-spirited and charming as a bright moon on a clear night. But when he wakes up one morning, Yinzhen discovers that he has arrived in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi’s reign. Living in the dilapidated Imperial Stud, and looking at Yinzhi and Yinzhen, who have both grown several decades older, His Highness the Crown Prince yanks the whip hidden at his waist. “Little Fourth, how dare you!” Yinzhen: “No, Second Brother, let me explain!” * A strange rumor suddenly spreads through the capital: the increasingly erratic deposed Crown Prince has become a completely different person overnight, reverting to his former, elegant self as heir to the throne. Kangxi is noncommittal about the rumors, but when he summons the deposed Crown Prince himself, he realizes the situation is far more serious than he imagined! Yinzhen walks in, wraps his arms around Kangxi’s waist, and complains coquettishly about how brazen Eldest Brother, Fourth Brother, and Eighth Brother have become. For a moment, Kangxi is at a complete loss. Th-this, is this really his Baocheng? * More than ten days later, Yinzhen finally accepts that he has somehow traveled twenty years into the future and become the deposed Crown Prince. Faced with the sneers and taunts of the princes and ministers, Yinzhen keeps a calm expression, but quietly tightens his grip on his whip. Fine. He’s been gone for only twenty years, and people are already missing his whip? * After finally managing to bring the Crown Prince down, the princes are just beginning their fight for the throne when they see the deposed Crown Prince, released by Kangxi on the pretext of recuperating, going from door to door with a whip in hand. “Fine, Eldest Brother. You’re just a brawling soldier, and you want to ask for the Crown Prince’s execution?” “How dare you, Little Fourth! I raised you with my own two hands, and now you want to bring me down?” “Little Eighth, how did I never realize you were so ambitious?” The princes: “Your Highness, we were wrong. Please don’t hit us. This is really humiliating!” * Upcoming novel 2: Reborn, I’ll Strengthen the Nation by Getting Things for Free Yinzhen has a storybook that no one else can see. The storybook says his Huang Ama loves his older brother Chenghu the most, treating him as if he might melt if held in his mouth or break if held in his hands. Meanwhile, his Imperial Father barely pays any attention to him, the Crown Prince. Yinzhen scratches his head, full of questions. “But... I don’t have an older brother.” So Yinzhen treats the storybook as nothing more than a story. Until one day, everyone’s minds are inexplicably filled with a set of memories. Yinzhen looks at the smiling older brother who calls himself Chenghu and feels his heart skip a beat. * In his previous life, Kangxi believed he had done right by heaven and earth, but regretted how he had treated several of his sons, especially Crown Prince Yinzhen. He had once cherished the boy above all else, only to personally knock him from his pedestal. Reborn, Kangxi resolves to raise his sons properly: to mold Yinzhen into an outstanding heir and his other sons into worthy princes. Everything goes exactly as he planned, until Huh? Why does I suddenly have another son? * Chen Hu carries a [Favorability] System. After transmigrating, he becomes Chenghu, Kangxi’s eldest legitimate son, who died young. How hard can it be to earn favorability? Faced with Kangxi, who loves his sons to death, Chen Hu is confident. Unfortunately, he can’t act as cute as Yinzhen, can’t fight as well as Yinzhi, and isn’t as eloquent as Yinzhi. After a series of humiliating failures, Chen Hu looks at the System’s inventory, packed with all kinds of products, and decides to take another path. If charm won’t do the trick, he’ll strengthen the nation. Sweet potatoes, potatoes, glass, cement... With all these incredible inventions, won’t his favorability shoot up? Alas Even as the Qing grows ever more powerful, even as the princes sail overseas, and even when Kangxi abdicates and Yinzhen ascends the throne... Chen Hu still can’t figure out why his Favorability remains a glaring “0.” * Upcoming novel 3: The Fourth Prince Is Seriously Ill Four-year-old Yinzhen thinks he might be sick. Every night, he goes to a strange world and becomes a poor high school senior crushed by the college entrance exams, using his four-year-old brain to work through the incredibly difficult Five-Three exercise book. Little Yinzhen has only just learned to hold a brush and barely knows any characters, but he is forced to learn all those strange, half-missing fonts. He learns to use phones and computers that talk like monsters, and even learns to sing, dance, and make friends. * After crying from exhaustion while doing practice problems, little Yinzhen asks his newly made friend Siri where his Huang Ama is, and where his Crown Prince brother is. The answer fills little Yinzhen with terror. This is the world three hundred years in the future. His Huang Ama and Crown Prince brother are long gone. His Huang Ama eventually deposed the Crown Prince, and Yinzhen himself died of sheer exhaustion! Little Yinzhen, who was just crying because he was so tired, is terrified! When he returns to the Forbidden City during the day, the first thing he says to Kangxi is “Waaah, Huang Ama, please don’t depose Crown Prince Brother! I don’t want to work myself to death on the dragon throne!” Kangxi: “??? What nonsense is this child talking about?” Yinzhen: “??? When did Huang Ama say he was going to depose me?” * Upcoming novel 4: A Concubine’s Chronicle in the Qianlong Era [Anti-Livestream] Upcoming novel 5: The CPs I Shipped Over the Years [Historical Livestream] Feel free to check out my author’s column.
