This idiot author, Yang Kang, lost her mind after writing that last story. Now she's lost control of this one and can only write without thinking. Just bear with it, and if you can't, click the X and leave~
Blurb: Yan Shu transmigrates into the role of a cannon-fodder concubine in Emperor Kangxi's harem, and doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The good news is that she has a Favor System that makes seducing the emperor a piece of cake. The bad news is that she's a low-ranking concubine who has managed to offend people, and she doesn't even have a single servant at her beck and call.
In a remote residence called the harem but really more like a cold palace, the Favor System's signal comes and goes. At last, Yan Shu manages to gather some information about the emperor.
The current emperor, Kangxi, first had his beloved Empress Heseri, his first wife and the moonlight in his heart, who passed away. Then there's Noble Consort Tongjia, his beloved cousin and childhood friend, the passionate Guoluo sisters, the virtuous and gentle Concubine De...
Before Yan Shu, stuck with her unreliable System, can even shed a tear, she discovers that she's pregnant!
Who is the child's father? Which bastard got her pregnant and made her a mother at such a young age?
More importantly, why is there no trace of any of this in the original's memories?
When Yan Shu finally meets the legendary Kangxi, the signal on her piece-of-junk System goes to full strength.
After exchanging a glance with Kangxi, she suddenly understands: the man across from her knows she has a System.
Just when she thinks she's about to be beheaded and burned to ward off evil, the old fox suddenly smiles and proposes a deal: she'll help him bring peace to the empire, and he'll make her the most favored woman in the Six Palaces.
Reader's Guide: This is a fictional setting, fictional, and extremely fictional! The kind where you could remove your kidneys and fry them with eggs, that's how fictional it is QvQ

Blurb: After struggling to survive in the apocalypse for years, Yun Mo uses her powers to fight mutant beasts and punch zombies, becoming a force to be reckoned with.
Just as she's preparing to kindly take in a few handsome men and beauties with nowhere to go, an ugly man who has long coveted her position as the boss of the South Mountain Retirement Home joins forces with her toady of a strategist to murder her.
Yun Mo is furious that she survived the zombie hordes and mutant beasts, only to die at the hands of another human!
So furious that when she opens her eyes, she finds she has transmigrated into a fictional dynasty and become an empress hopelessly in love with the emperor.
Instead of enjoying her wonderful life in the harem, she insisted on fighting with the concubines for the emperor's crumbs of affection, until she worked herself into illness and died in the palace.
Yun Mo opens her eyes to find the Empress Dowager by her bedside, urging her to take things easy. The emperor rubs his forehead, unable to understand why an empress would have to compete for his affection. The Crown Prince, his eyes red and swollen, keeps calling, "Mother!"
Well, then!
What's that saying?
There's no problem in the world that can't be solved by dying?
After dying once, Yun Mo has escaped the miserable apocalypse and inherited a sweet, obedient, and well-behaved son. She doesn't even have to go out searching for handsome men and beauties herself.
The emperor's harem is my harem. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll take good care of all your beloved consorts!
Just as the concubines are nervous and fearful, worried that with the empress dead they might be unjustly punished, the empress climbs out of her sickbed.
She's changed!
Today she summons Noble Consort Chen to play the flute. Tomorrow she calls Consort Li to play the zither. The day after that, she has the junior nobles and lesser attendants put on a dance for her.
On odd-numbered days, she goes to the Imperial Academy to listen to the scholars' lectures. On even-numbered days, she visits the training grounds to watch the guards practice. And when she gets tired, she goes out of the palace to sit in a teahouse and watch the crowds passing below, looking for anyone with a bright smile and a face pleasing to the eye.
At first...
Harem: Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, please do something about her!
Empress Dowager: Mo'er has had her heart broken. What's wrong with letting her do as she pleases?
Emperor: Isn't the empress better like this than when she was sickly and looked half-dead?
Later...
Harem: Who knows where the empress will go today? We should make sure to put on a good show for her. We absolutely can't let those vixens (everyone but me) steal the spotlight!
Empress Dowager: I made plans to go out with Mo'er today. I mustn't be late.
Emperor: The harem is going out on another group outing today. When will I finish my work and get to go out with the empress?
Far away in the Imperial Academy, the Crown Prince shivers and sneezes. He silently puts on another layer of clothing.
Reader's Guide: The blurb lies! OOC warning!
Theme: Growing together by supporting one another
On the day I joined the security guard, the captain asked me: Do you know who you want to protect? I say I am the owner, but in my heart I am thinking of you, my wife.
Someone wanted to harm the heroine, but she ended up doing something good out of bad intentions? The bad guy used his own son to block the gun, orz
Do you think you are pregnant, or does the man also have pregnancy reactions? This is the most interesting novel I have ever read.
The settings are a bit fiddly, maybe it's because I'm not smart enough. Will this child remember what happened before? The more I look at it, the weirder it gets 233
Can you trick Kangxi into doing a main mission or something like escorting the queen? Wwww But this seems a bit too simple and lacks a sense of accomplishment.
Not updated anymore? I also want to watch the live broadcast of historical weird stories written in big letters.
Well, I thought it was a system article, then Xingguo. But it kept talking about the harem
The tenth prince was not born to Queen Niu Hulu, but to her sister, Concubine Wen Xi. Author, you are mistaken (￣y▽￣)~* covered her mouth and snickered.
Productivity determines production relations, and the economic base determines the superstructure. Before the advent of the industrial age, China had been in a state of small-scale peasant economy. By the Qing Dynasty, the population had reached its peak. The more people there were to support, the higher the requirements for farming. The peak population in the Tang Dynasty was less than 100 million, and in the Ming Dynasty it exceeded 100 million. By the Kangxi period in the Qing Dynasty, there were already 200 million. Two hundred million doesn't seem like much now, but there were no fertilizer, pesticide, and fuel-burning machines before, and the crops that were bred were not as good as they are now, and the transmission of weather forecast information was not as good as it is now. In the agricultural era, men's physiological advantages were significantly higher than that of women. The rise of women's power is closely related to the fact that in the industrial era, women's physiological differences in labor were compensated. It was the result of everyone's step-by-step struggle for the right to speak while participating in labor. If they cannot increase productivity, even if there are female officials, even if a very small number of women can obtain a relatively less disadvantaged status, the essence of the social structure will remain unchanged. As a ruthless person, it is rare for the Queen Mother to accept such a radical point of view under the current situation. It is not that she does not know some things, but that if she changes too fast and takes too long, she will be in trouble. This can be referred to the story of Little John Khan. Stable development is very important for the current Qing Dynasty. After all, instability may lead to nothing. The real winner is the one who makes steady progress without overturning. The struggle for every right is obtained from a long and even bloody and cruel struggle and game.
"New" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ heart
