After My Courtship Failed, I Entered Prince Yong's Manor (Qing Dynasty Transmigration)

[Next up: Transmigrating as Heshen's Daughter (Qing Dynasty)] [Coming soon: The Empress's Long Life in the Qing Dynasty] Please add them to your collection~

Nian Nian transmigrated, with the goal of starting a family and building a career, and finding her footing in this dynasty. Her restaurant opened without a hitch, and she found someone to pursue, but the man was practically impossible to win over.

Fortunately, she had her own way of going after a man. Just when she was about to win him over, she discovered that the lying scoundrel already had a family and wanted to keep her as his mistress.

Nian Nian slapped him hard across the face. "Get lost!"

*

Luckily, Heaven was on her side. Her father and older brother had transmigrated with her, too. Her father was a high-ranking court official, and her brother was Prince Yong's trusted right-hand man.

Nian Nian: Why bother starting a family or building a career? I can just lie flat!

Unfortunately...

Father Nian: Darling, I need to tell you something... Our whole family is about to be beheaded...

Brother Nian: ...Kangxi arranged your marriage a year ago, to be the secondary consort of his fourth son. Then you disappeared. Of course we couldn't send you straight into a fire pit, so...

Nian Nian couldn't accept it. "So I'm the little rice cake everyone will praise in the future?"

To save her family's lives, Nian Nian had no choice but to marry into Prince Yong's household. On her wedding night:

A slender hand, cool as jade, lifted Nian Nian's veil. She looked up and saw the scoundrel she'd once slapped across the face: !!!

The scoundrel, Prince Yong, the future Emperor Yongzheng, Yin Zhen, sneered. "Well, my secondary consort does look familiar..."

"I used myself as bait to lure you into my cage."

[Coming soon] The Empress's Long Life in the Qing Dynasty launches soon. Add it to your collection if you're interested. Here's the blurb:

Tong Yulan became empress the moment she transmigrated, but her empress experience card lasted only one day. She had transmigrated as Empress Xiaoyiren!

Fortunately, her adopted son Yin Zhen had been reborn from the apocalypse with a golden finger. As long as he cherished his brothers and ascended the throne again, he could extend her life.

Tong Yulan had been able to hear people's thoughts ever since she was born. Before transmigrating, this golden finger wasn't much use, but after transmigrating, she felt it was practically made just for her!

Yin Zhen had been reborn from the apocalypse. In this life, he had only two wishes: save his Imperial Mother and beat those bratty brothers to tears.

Looking at his arrogant eldest brother, sensitive second brother, smiling tiger of a third brother, and all his many other brothers, each with a different personality but none of them likable, Yin Zhen forced a stiff, unsettling smile.

[Heh... You're all dead meat.]

The Brotherly Harmony System warned: Host's malice is about to exceed the limit! To extend the Empress's life, the Host must remain kind!

For his Imperial Mother, he endured it.

But become emperor? He'd rather go back to the apocalypse and keep hacking zombies to pieces.

None of the princes wanted to be emperor, and even Kangxi began to think the throne wasn't so appealing.

Kangxi: Baocheng? This throne of mine...

The Crown Prince: Your son is mediocre in talent and intelligence. Let Big Brother take it.

Kangxi: Baoqing, I've always thought highly of you...

Yin Ti: I'm busy sailing overseas. Ask Eighth Brother.

Yin Si: I'm on my honeymoon with my wife. Ask Fourteenth Brother.

Yin Zhen: Nobody else wants it? Then I don't want it either!

Kangxi: All I can say is, I regret it. If I'd known, I wouldn't have raised them to fight each other.

Tong Yulan quietly takes no credit: At first, she only wanted to live a few more days. But she went too far trying to persuade them. The children get along better now, but they've also all become indifferent to worldly affairs.
