Zhen's Love for Wanqing

In A Chinese Odyssey, Fairy Zixia once said: "My destined hero is a great hero of the world. One day he'll come to marry me, riding on clouds of seven colors. I guessed the beginning, but I couldn't guess the ending..." But for me, it's just the opposite. The history books have already recorded my ending in clear detail. I know the beginning and the ending, but I didn't foresee what would happen in between! Love is uncertain and fickle. In the end, someone always gets hurt, and someone is always let down... This isn't an angst-filled story, and the heroine isn't strong. Because she knows how history ends, she's conflicted at first. But later, with the birth of a child, everything... This story is rather low-key, without dramatic twists and turns. In other Qing time-travel novels, Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu, Nian Shi, is almost always portrayed negatively. And she had a pitiful life in official history: none of her children survived, and in the end, her family was ruined because her brother didn't know when to stop. So I suddenly had the idea to write a different kind of noble consort and give her a more complete ending. Her relationship with Fourth Master isn't a passionate, life-and-death romance either. Everything is fairly calm and steady. The major historical events won't change. For example, Qianlong will definitely succeed Yongzheng. As for who gave birth to Qianlong, let's not quibble over that. In Qing time-travel stories, Qianlong's mother keeps changing, anyway. Haha... poor Qianlong... Official history + wish fulfillment (mainly, I've changed who Qianlong's birth mother is, and Nian Shi's family won't meet the same tragic end as in history). If you don't like that, please read with caution... Paid section announcement: As the title says, dear readers, this story is going to become a paid novel. Thank you for keeping me company all this time. Without your support, Xia Mo wouldn't have been strong and brave. The first three chapters will become paid, starting with chapter fifty. If you've already read them, please don't buy them again. I promise at least three updates every day from now on! Thanks again. Xia Mo, May 18, 2010 Premise:
