As a history and gossip enthusiast, Wen Jiu loved nothing more than picking out details from different written records and quietly enjoying the drama.
She was especially fascinated by the era of the Kangxi Emperor, hailed as an emperor for the ages. The tangled relationships among his dozen or more princes had her hooked.
She never imagined that one day she would find herself transported into the very Kangxi era she had recently been gossiping about.
Worse, she became a swaddled infant, the Seventh Princess, one of the princesses who died young.
To top it off, on the day she turned one month old, she was bound to a Lord System that kept assigning tasks impossible for a baby like her.
Fortunately, the tasks were optional, with no penalties for failing them.
Wen Jiu felt a little guilty, but she had no qualms about simply giving up.
What she didn't know was that her tasks did come with penalties, just not for her.
Her family members had no choice but to help her complete them, one by one.
And the rewards all went to Wen Jiu!
They couldn't even touch them.
While feeling thoroughly aggrieved, they also had to listen to Wen Jiu's painfully cutting inner monologue...
Inner Monologue Skit:
Looking at her birth mother, Consort De, with her pretty, gentle face, Wen Jiu, who considered herself a perfectly objective supporter of the Fourth Prince, couldn't help muttering to herself.
"How can someone so beautiful be so biased?"
The nail guard on Consort De's hand accidentally scraped her skin...
When her soft and affectionate Sixth Brother cuddled up to her, Wen Jiu felt a pang of regret.
"Life in the palace really is the cruelest. Even a child who looks this healthy can die young."
Consort De nearly crushed the nail guard in her hand...
When her scummy father, Kangxi, came to see her, Wen Jiu stared at him in shock.
"So the emperor is this handsome! Phoenix eyes, a high nose, not bad at all. And this man is actually my dad!"
Kangxi silently looked at his daughter, who was staring right back at him.
"Sigh, thinking about what comes later, it's kind of a shame..."
Wen Jiu smacked her lips. Thinking of the tragic struggle among the Nine Sons over the succession, she couldn't help sighing inwardly.
Kangxi's brow twitched as he waited for the rest of her thoughts.
The next second, baby Wen Jiu fell fast asleep.
Kangxi: "..."
I hate people who leave a sentence unfinished!
P.S. The Qing Dynasty here is fictionalized, with many invented details. Family affection.
Theme: When it comes to life, being happy is what matters most.
I thought Lao Ba was reborn
Three months of drought was too terrible in ancient times. It was so painful for people before, but now this punishment has been extended to the point where it may endanger people's lives. It feels too unreasonable.
The little pony is so cute ('▽')
"Wen Jiu didn't dare to continue thinking about it." This is a big bug for the author~
I almost thought I had collected a new book
I recently learned that if you eat too many persimmons, you will get sick.
Update update looks great!????????
Hard work overtime! Remember to have a good rest
I don't blame Concubine De for not getting close to her. As soon as she gets close, she will give me a mission. It's very difficult and there are punishments. I'm so speechless.
The Yongzheng Party probably doesn't like Concubine De, so the relationship between the heroine and Concubine De is better not to be too good. Is this the author's idea?
