If that's not your thing, please be warned~)] [Also known as: After the Grandson Pretends to Be His Ancestor, He Takes Kangxi and the Nine Dragons on Seven Transmigrations; The Crown Prince, Crown Princess, and Their Darling of the Eastern Palace] [Recommended completed novel: The neighboring novel, Raising Children in the Qing Palace: The Fierce Aunt, follows the growth of the First Prince through the Fourteenth Prince, as well as the princesses, from childhood to adulthood.

Together, they sounded just like the era name of Emperor Gaozong of Qing, Qianlong. Because of his unusual name, his childhood friends always teased him, saying that maybe he'd been Kangxi's precious grandson in a past life! Whenever Qianlong heard them tease him like that, he couldn't help twitching at the corners of his mouth. Little did he expect that an accident would really make him be born into another world, where he even got to make a grand entrance like Jia Baoyu, arriving as a little prince of the Kangxi era with a jade in his mouth. But he wasn't lucky enough to transmigrate as Aisin Gioro Hongli. Instead, he became Aisin Gioro Hongxi. His father wasn't the future Yongzheng Emperor, Fourth Prince Yinzhen, but Crown Prince Yinreng, who Kangxi had made crown prince twice and deposed twice. Thinking of what happened to Hongxi, the "eldest son of a concubine" in history, whose fate was bleak and miserable, he wondered if being transmigrated as the "eldest legitimate grandson," Hongxi, would make his end even worse. Yikes, his predetermined future was terrifying! Little Hongxi, a tiny baby who hadn't even grown many teeth, couldn't even enjoy his milk anymore. With tears in his eyes, he clenched his chubby little fists and looked at his refined, noble Crown Prince father, who was holding him up by the armpits and flying him through the air. In his heart, he cried into his tiny handkerchief: Waaah, Father! Being transmigrated as the legitimate eldest grandson of Kangxi, a person who never existed in history, is so hard!!! Ding~ The Random Transmigration System has been activated. The Host may take historical figures into the currents of time. The baby froze. Huh??? [Short scene:] One day, Kangxi held his eldest grandson and transmigrated to the modern era. They were in the timeworn Forbidden City, and before he could figure out what was happening, he heard a tour guide up ahead, waving a little red flag and speaking loudly and clearly: "Folks, it's been over a hundred years since the Qing Dynasty fell..." Kangxi was so shocked that his eyes rolled back and he collapsed on the ground. Hongxi was stunned too. He immediately let out a shrill, childlike howl: "Grandpa Hama, no, Grandpa, Grandpa!" After the great shock of returning to the Forbidden City at the start of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi refused to accept that his Qing Dynasty had fallen. He shouted, "Liang Jiugong, get the imperial doctors, monks, and shamans into the palace, all of them! I've been possessed!!!" Everyone was alarmed by the news. After all the commotion, Kangxi never would have guessed that he wasn't possessed at all. It was the "Old Ancestor" who had appeared to them. The baby, wearing the secret identity of "Nu Dui Dui," said to his Grandpa Hama in a babyish voice, "Grandpa Hama, Grandpa Nu Nu asked Jin Tuan to ask you: The Qing Dynasty has fallen! Are you happy?" Kangxi: "!!! Am I happy? I can't even cry!" [Notes:] 1. Blurb posted on December 27, 2022, and expanded on June 8, 2023. Screenshots have been saved. 2.

Coming Soon A Family of Five Transmigrates to the Qin Dynasty Zhao Lan opened her eyes and found herself in an extremely backward dynasty. Just how backward was it? Everyone wore crotchless pants. There were no chairs, and people spoke while kneeling. She couldn't read the writing or understand the language. A top university graduate had become an ancient "illiterate." There was no cotton, and the blankets were sewn from sheepskin. There was no flour, and eating boiled wheat felt like it scraped her throat. Forget frying or stir-frying. All they had was bean soup cooked in clay pots. If she could have put up with all that, what drove Ms. Zhao to the brink was that there was no paper! After using the toilet, she had to scrape herself with a wooden sliver! And after washing it, she had to use the same one again! Aaaaah! As someone who had lived in an age of convenience, Zhao Lan wanted to bash her head against the wall at the thought of starting out in a place like this, which was practically hell. Unfortunately, she couldn't. She'd only just arrived in this wretched place when she was laid in bed to give birth. As soon as the baby was born, the scumbag father abandoned them and ran off! Poor Ms. Zhao held the beautiful, wailing little baby and felt like throwing her head back and crying, too! Just then, she saw her parents, grandmother, and maternal grandfather arrive with the six-and-a-half-story supermarket their family had built in the town center. Before Zhao Lan could cry tears of joy, she saw her mother, who had been a Chinese teacher for half her life, holding her beautiful son and asking excitedly, with delight and admiration in her eyes: "Sweetie, do you know who your runaway husband is?" "Who?" (Ms. Zhao bared her teeth and sharpened her knife.) "The Qin king's grandson, Lord Yiren." "Lord Yiren?" (Ms. Zhao looked confused.) "Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng's father!" "Huh? What?!" Ms. Zhao was completely dumbfounded! Ying Zheng had just conquered the six states, unified the realm, and declared himself the First Emperor. He woke up to find himself back in the past as a baby in swaddling clothes. Before he could let out a wail, he saw his beautiful, gentle birth mother, Zhao Ji. Ying Zheng had thought that he would have to endure the humiliations he suffered in Zhao as a child all over again alongside his birth mother. Who could have guessed that: Zhao Ji's eyes lit up as she called him "little dragon baby" and hugged and kissed him. Ying Zheng was stunned. Not long after, he met the members of his birth mother's family, whom he had never known in his previous life. His maternal grandparents could casually fetch things from a heavenly palace in the sky! His great-grandfather was a well-known doctor for miles around, and his great-grandmother was a seamstress! The First Emperor was completely dumbfounded: Could it be that his family in this life had been reincarnated as immortals? After Yiren returned to Qin, he was constantly worried about his wife and child. Who would have thought he'd hear that his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and the rest of the family had taken his son and gone into hiding? They didn't want him anymore? Yiren: Meow??? Note: 1.
