Transmigrating Into an Ordinary Family in Jinling

The story is complete! Jiangnan is a land of beauty, and Jinling a seat of emperors. The moment Shen Yi opened her eyes, she found herself in Jinling, the ancient capital of six dynasties. At that time, Jinling was prosperous, its people wealthy and its land blessed with outstanding talent. The Vermilion Bird Bridge was bustling with carriages and pedestrians, while music, dancing, and wine filled the banks of the Qinhuai River, showcasing the flourishing age in all its splendor. In such a wealthy, wonderful place, she couldn't just pass through without making something of it. She improved the old looms, introduced new crops, and even expanded trade overseas. The daughter of the Shen family carved out a place for herself. Xie Yu's father had died and his mother was ill. Much of the warmth in his life came from the young lady next door. Holding her soft little hand, Xie Yu vowed to himself that he would fulfill her wishes in this life. From the marketplace to the imperial court, from commoner to grand secretary, that promise stayed with Xie Yu throughout his life.

If you like it, please add it to your collection. Blurb: Yunzhu transmigrated. The good news was that she'd landed among the privileged in ancient times, where delicacies, fine wine, silk, and satin were all hers to enjoy. The bad news was that she'd transmigrated into the Qing imperial palace. So she began her anxious struggle to win the emperor's favor. To her utter surprise, after giving birth to a son, she discovered that she'd become none other than the famous Consort De, the one rumored to have been especially good at winning Kangxi's favor, to have risen through the ranks at incredible speed, to have favored her youngest son, and to have died in sorrow. Looking at her chubby-cheeked eldest son, Yunzhu sighed. What was the point of all that? As the ultimate winner of the imperial harem, every extra day she lived was a bonus. After setting the modest goal of living to a hundred, Consort De started taking it easy. The other ladies of the imperial harem noticed that the former overachiever, Consort De, who had always been best at pleasing the emperor, had changed. At banquets: The other consorts: Darn it, those dancers are all trying to win his favor. Consort De: A top artist's performance! Just watching it is a treat. Encore! When it came to food: The other consorts: The emperor likes the graceful charm of Jiangnan women. I have to watch what I eat. Consort De: The imperial chef is so good. Another skewer of grilled meat, please. When raising their sons: The other consorts: You have to study hard, son, so your imperial father can see what you're capable of. Consort De: Whoever makes my son wake up at four in the morning is getting scolded, even if you're the emperor. With her newfound free-spirited attitude, why was the emperor starting to look at her differently? And why had she even been made empress? Coming soon: A Young Educated Youth Sent Down to the Countryside in the Seventies Blurb: Fang Tongtong transmigrated into the body of the prettiest girl in the residential compound and became an honored educated youth. Thinking about the endless farm work ahead, she declared, "This humble concubine can't do it!" So the delicate, frail Fang Tongtong decided that once she got sent to the countryside, she'd find a strong, sturdy man to marry. When she saw the strapping muscles of the security captain's son, she decided without hesitation: He's the one. The compound's little tyrant, Ji Yanning, had been loafing around since graduating high school. At last, his grandfather grew furious and had him added to the list of educated youths being sent down to receive reeducation from the poor and lower-middle peasants. Ji Yanning declared, "I'll make you regret this!" The unruly Ji Yanning also decided to marry a local after he got sent to the countryside, just to make his family regret it. When he saw the village chief's youngest daughter, his eyes lit up. After the summer harvest, several educated youths arrived in Fengshuping Village. The village elders couldn't help exclaiming, "Goodness, why are these city kids so good-looking? Especially those two educated youths from the big cities. They're so fair and pretty. Those two are made for each other." Hearing this rumor, Fang Tongtong and Ji Yanning exchanged a look, then turned away at the same time. "Whoever marries him/her will be cursed with terrible luck for eight lifetimes." But things didn't go as they wished. Fang Tongtong and Ji Yanning faced one obstacle after another on their respective quests for love, so they decided to help each other and create opportunities together. Unexpectedly, the security captain's son and the village chief's daughter fell for each other, and Fang Tongtong and Ji Yanning ended up married instead. Even after marriage, Fang Tongtong and Ji Yanning kept bickering and squabbling. Everyone thought they'd soon get divorced, but from the college entrance exams to returning to the city to finding work, they faced one hurdle after another without ever parting ways. And so, they spent their whole lives together. The old folks of Fengshuping grinned, gaps in their teeth showing. "I knew I was right."
