How to Serve a Mad Emperor (Qing Dynasty Transmigration)

New novel, The Qing Dynasty: The Emperor's Cherished Imperial Consort. Synopsis at the end. Please add it to your collection.

Synopsis:

1. Tong Jia transmigrated into the body of Tong Jia Shi, a maid in Shunzhi's palace.

At the time, the harem ranks were not yet fully established. A maid was more or less a concubine without title or status.

Compared to Dong E Shi, the Imperial Consort who shared a love with Shunzhi so earth-shattering it could shake the heavens, Tong Jia's rank was like bronze next to a top-ranked player.

Tong Jia wasn't worried at all. She had a son named Xuanye, who would later become the famous Kangxi Emperor.

Xuanye was already five years old. If she could just hold out for another three years, Shunzhi would die, and she would become Empress Dowager.

Shunzhi might be rebellious, passionate, melancholic, devoted, sensitive, mad, and devastatingly handsome, but being Empress Dowager was still the better deal.

Tong Jia enjoyed her comfortable little life, taking the opportunity to admire the handsome officials at court, especially the striking Wang Xi, while counting down the days until Shunzhi's death.

Who would have thought that by the time this bronze player had reached the top rank and become empress, Shunzhi would still be lively and well, even after abdicating to become Retired Emperor?

2. Shunzhi summed up his two lives. In his previous life, he'd been lucky yet useless, dying before he could fulfill his ambitions.

In this life, he was still lucky yet useless. The lucky part was that he'd been able to pursue his ambitions, and he had an heir. His son Xuanye had surpassed him.

The useless part was all thanks to the utterly exasperating Tong Jia Shi.

She was like a thorny rose. Unlike the Empress's poisonous thorns, hers only pricked him. After being pricked so many times, he'd gotten used to it and even started missing it.

He didn't hold her fickleness against her. To put her at ease, he abdicated early and passed the empire to her son.

Even when he humbled himself before her, she barely looked at him from beginning to end.

Tong Jia Shi said, "I wouldn't dare offend Your Majesty by looking at your face."

Once, Shunzhi happened to hear her muttering behind his back, "That was close. I nearly got a sty!"

Shunzhi: I can't believe a word you say!

A sweet-tongued, black-hearted young concubine VS a sickly, obsessive emperor

Reading Guide:

Many fictional details; this is not official history, so please don't nitpick the historical accuracy.

A groveling redemption arc, with only the male lead suffering and not the female lead. A melodramatic story.

New novel, The Qing Dynasty: The Emperor's Cherished Imperial Consort. Synopsis:

In her previous life, Guyu was a palace maid in a prince's mansion and was buried alive as a sacrifice after the prince died.

In this life, she was born into a family of bondservants and was selected to work in the Fourth Prince's residence as the lowest-ranking servant girl.

Afraid of being buried alive again, Guyu did her best at work and clung to life like a weed.

But because of her name, she was chosen by Yinzhen to work as a sweeper in the front courtyard during the Grain Rain season.

Guyu thought she would meet another tragic end, but instead she rose from the lowest servant girl to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort.

Yinzhen: "Guyu, rain nourishes the hundred grains, then the frost comes to an end."

In truth, Guyu had that name in both lives simply because she was born on the day of Grain Rain. She'd never even paid it any attention herself.

Only Yinzhen thought of its meaning, and for him, that thought lasted a lifetime.

#A life that was denied what it deserved will always receive compensation in another way#
