He Shen Is My Father (Transmigrating to the Qing Dynasty)

Jin Ding'er spent her whole life doing good deeds, so after she died, she really was reborn into a wealthy family. In her previous life, she was called Jin Ding'er because her family was poor. This time, it was because her family had so many gold ingots they couldn't store them all. From then on, she lived in a golden house and slept on a jade bed, spitting out every sip of fermented bean juice, until...

"What? Dad, your name is Heshen?!"

*

Jin Ding'er only used bowls with chips in them, and all the servants in the manor were sent to the country estate to farm.

Heshen went to confiscate a household's property and came back with over a dozen chests of silver. Jin Ding'er grabbed a club and chased her father around, beating him.

"How many people in the Qing Dynasty still can't afford food? The Emperor is crying about being broke so hard his eyes are about to go blind! Father, do you want to get yourself killed? Donate all of it!"

Heshen looked at his daughter's pockets, stuffed full of silver, and was heartbroken. The saying that daughters were born to collect debts was absolutely right!

*

Qianlong received a report that his beloved Lord Heshen was taking bribes, and that the mice in his house had grown as big as calves. Thinking of his own empty treasury, Qianlong angrily went undercover to investigate.

Heshen's youngest daughter, said to be pampered more than a princess of the imperial family, clung to his leg and wailed:

"Your Majesty, please take pity on us and give Father a little more salary! Our family is so poor we can barely put food on the table..."

Qianlong: "..." Well, wasn't she laying it on a little thick?

My next book will be The Empress's Long Life in the Qing Dynasty. Add it to your library if you're interested. Here's the blurb:

Tong Yulan became empress as soon as she transmigrated, but her Empress Experience Card only lasted one day. She had transmigrated into the doomed Empress Xiaoyiren!

Fortunately, just as all hope seemed lost, her adopted son Yinzhen was reborn from the apocalypse with a golden finger. He could extend her life as long as he cared for his brothers and ascended the throne again.

Tong Yulan had been able to hear other people's thoughts from birth. Before she transmigrated, this golden finger wasn't much use. Afterward, she felt it was practically tailor-made for her!

Yinzhen had been reborn from the apocalypse. In this life, he had only two wishes: save his Imperial Mother and beat those bratty brothers of his until they cried.

Looking at his arrogant eldest brother, sensitive second brother, smiling-but-scheming third brother, and all the other younger brothers, each with their own unpleasant personalities, Yinzhen forced out a stiff, eerie smile.

[Heh... I'll kill every last one of you.]

The Brotherly Harmony System issued a warning: Host's malice level is about to exceed the limit! To extend the Empress's life, the Host must remain kind!

For the sake of his Imperial Mother, he endured it.

But make him emperor? He'd rather return to the apocalypse and keep chopping up zombies.

No one wanted to be emperor, and even Kangxi began to think the throne wasn't so appealing.

Kangxi: Baorong? About this throne of mine...

The Crown Prince: This son is mediocre. Imperial Father, let Eldest Brother have it.

Kangxi: Baoqing, I've always thought highly of you...

Yinzhi: I'm busy sailing overseas. Ask Eighth Brother.

Yinsi: I'm on my honeymoon with my wife. Please ask Fourteenth.

Yin Zhen: No one's taking it? Then I won't either!

Kangxi: All I can say is, I regret it. If I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't have raised them to compete like this.

Tong Yulan kept her contribution to herself. At first, she just wanted to live a few more days. But she went a little too far with her advice. The children's relationships improved, but they also became indifferent to worldly ambitions.

Theme: Strive for a better life.
