I Keep Seeing Emperor Shunzhi When His Soul Leaves His Body [Qing Transmigration]

A Depressive Noble Consort's Qing Dynasty Career Climb

Also known as: Every Time Shunzhi's Soul Leaves His Body, He Sees Me

Wang Miao transmigrates into the Qing palace as an unknown concubine of Emperor Shunzhi. She knows that Dong'e Consort is about to arrive, and that the emperor will meet his end in a few years... Wang Miao's fate is crystal clear: she will become a dowager consort while still young.

A transmigrator with ambition would start plotting to eliminate the favored consort or flee far away.

But the moment Wang Miao realized she had been given a second life, she just wanted to lie flat... Having worked herself to death in her previous life with a 996 schedule, all she wants this time is to be a lazy fish. Don't expect her to work hard.

And so...

In her first year in the palace, while the other consorts socialize and attend functions, Wang Miao says she likes peace and quiet and loves to leave people waiting outside her door...

In her second year, while the other consorts curry favor with Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and flatter the emperor, Wang Miao says she's bad with words and not very bright. She simply doesn't have it in her to compete for the emperor's favor...

After years of doing whatever she pleased, Wang Miao suddenly realizes that the emperor, who died young in history, is still alive and well!

As Shunzhi spends longer and longer periods awake, Wang Miao's rank keeps rising, from a low-ranking concubine to a consort... then to Noble Consort. In the end, Wang Miao can only say in silence that she has no idea how this happened.

Every concubine in the harem knows that Lady Ula-Nara is hard to please and harder to approach. While others scheme against each other with barbed words, slander, and traps, her approach to harem intrigues is to isolate herself from every other consort. The worst part is that she's petty and loves to tattle, and the emperor takes her side. The last palace consort who spoke sharply to her had her name removed from the emperor's roster ages ago...

Emperor Shunzhi, who had prophetic dreams since childhood, suffers from a strange condition. Every night after falling asleep, his soul wanders through the palace, allowing him to see many people's true natures.

Both of them are outsiders. He is fiercely ambitious and wants to change his fate, while Lady Ula-Nara believes in taking life as it comes. Her desires are modest, and she is composed and clear-eyed. At first, he couldn't stand to see her waste her good fortune. But later...

Aisin-Gioro Fulin reached out and flicked her sleeping cheek.
