[Dream of the Red Chamber] The Side Consort Is Forced to Work Hard

An extra-story collection has been added next door, and updates should resume soon! If you're interested, feel free to take a look, but I can't guarantee a regular update schedule. I'll do my best to update daily!!!

The main story is complete~ Welcome, dear readers who've been letting it build up, to dig in with chopsticks, knives, and forks. Anyway! It's ready to eat QAQ

In her previous life, Lin Muyue was always busy. By a twist of fate, she transmigrated to an unfamiliar dynasty and became the daughter of a capital official.

After seeing how comfortable her family's circumstances were, Lin Muyue shed a lazy fish's tears. At last, she could take a break.

Unfortunately, through a series of mishaps, she still ended up in the Eastern Palace. Lin Muyue figured it wasn't a big deal. She was just changing locations to be a lazy fish. Once she lay down, she absolutely wouldn't roll over!

But one day, while chatting, the Crown Prince mentioned that the newly appointed top candidate in the palace examination was from her clan and had married a daughter of the Duke of Rong's family. His words struck like a bolt of lightning.

Thinking of the deposed Crown Prince's fate in Dream of the Red Chamber, and looking at the baby she'd only just conceived, Lin Muyue, that lazy fish, was forced to roll over.

Years later, the Crown Prince ascended the throne, only to die young. Disorder began to spread throughout the realm, and Lin Muyue followed her son to his fief. Watching the delicate little girl before her bow and greet her in a soft voice, Lin Muyue thought that it seemed she couldn't escape a life of toil in this lifetime either.

Tip:

Female-lead story, with a Crown Prince who's basically a plot device

An entirely fictional ancient setting, very loosely based on history, with all sorts of elements mixed together

An unconventional palace-intrigue story, though it is still palace intrigue, plus Dream of the Red Chamber

The first half focuses on the heroine's palace battles; characters from Dream of the Red Chamber appear in the second half

The girls from Dream of the Red Chamber won't be vilified; what happens to everyone else depends on how the story unfolds

For convenience, the timeline and characters' ages in Dream of the Red Chamber will be changed

More details if I think of any

Because of my internship, the update time is changing. Updates will be posted between 12:00 and 14:00. If something comes up, I'll post a notice to take time off.

I've discussed it with my editor, and the story is scheduled to go premium on January 5, this Thursday. As usual, there'll be three chapters that day. Kisses to you all~

Here's a future project below

Fu Qingze has loved a girl for a long time. She's the apple of the entire city of Mucheng's eye, the only daughter of the Marquis of Zhennan.

But he watched the girl he loved go to the capital and marry into the imperial family. Thinking that this was simply how his life would go, he put away his affection for her.

Who could have guessed that a few years later, the girl he loved would return from the capital with a divorce decree in hand?

Leaving his post in the capital behind, Fu Qingze also returned to Mucheng, where he guarded the border alongside the woman he loved.

A struggle over the succession set all of Jiang ablaze with war, as heroes rose up across the realm.

With the deer of Qin lost, all under Heaven vied to claim it. Fu Qingze accompanied Jiang Qiyong from Mucheng, step by step, back to the capital. He watched as the woman he loved went from a female general to a woman on the verge of becoming empress.

In the palace, he lowered his eyes and murmured, "Your Majesty now rules all under Heaven. Will you choose beauties from across the realm to serve you in the palace?"

Jiang Qiyong smiled and replied, "With you, Fu, in my heart, who in all the realm could compare to you?"

The heroine will have an unhappy marriage. The hero has always regarded her as the one he could never forget and kept himself chaste. Only after getting together with her does he start cuddling up to his wife.

A female ruler meets her worthy ministers, with the heroine as the ruler. She will become empress in the end.

I'm bad at writing blurbs, so I'll leave this future project here for now and revise or add to it if I think of anything else.

"Days of Being the Strongest Ally in a Strange Tales World" (This is the next story I'll write!!!! Highlighting this by hand (x))

Tai Zhao, female, profession: Daoist priest.

A young woman raised in the modern world, Tai Zhao inherited a small Daoist temple. Most days, she did little more than advise people to see a doctor when they were sick instead of resorting to superstition.

But on the day Daoist Priest Tai Zhao came of age, she encountered the most unscientific thing in the world.

After waking up inexplicably in the wilderness, Tai Zhao figured that with her survival skills, she could probably manage to scrape by.

But was a fat lynx in a silk robe that could speak, and a scholar with fox ears on his head, really within the bounds of ordinary understanding?!

A crossover with a world of strange tales. The various creatures who appear may be characters from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, Records of the Netherworld, and many other strange-tale collections.
