The Qing Dynasty Interpreter

Currently updating: My Sponsored Student Is Yin Si

Blurb:

Qiu Tong transmigrates to the streets of eighteenth-century Italy. The European Enlightenment is flourishing, while her homeland in the East is in the late years of the Kangxi Emperor's golden age.

Longing deeply for her homeland, she attaches herself to the Church and wanders thousands of miles in hopes of going home. But the moment she arrives in Beijing, the Church treats her like a plaything and gives her to the Fourteenth Beile.

The Fourteenth Beile soon falls for this "goddess priest" who makes a brilliant impression at court. He never expects her to slap him on their very first day together. After that, he irrevocably embarks on a path of pestering her relentlessly, hounding her without shame, and becoming more addicted the more she torments him...

The Church never expected this "plaything" to slip out of its control so quickly, leave the Beile residence, attach herself to Consort Yi, and win the esteem of the Church's sworn enemy, Prince Yong. She even leads the Kangxi Emperor to overrule all objections and appoint her as the first female official ever to serve in the front court!

Though she holds only a lowly eighth-rank position, the Ministry of Rites specially designs two sets of official attire for her, one male and one female, setting a precedent. Countless noblewomen in the capital want to take her place.

Qiu Tong has her sights set on the top. As she struggles to climb, everyone who tries to stop her becomes a stepping stone.

Years after arriving in this world, she remains true to herself: short hair, loving and hating with abandon, and still keeping her innocence. That's because the man she stands beside is the sharp-tongued, deeply devoted Prince Yong.

Her first impression of Prince Yong: everyone fears him, and he has a terrible temper.

Later, she hears that he once drove a colleague to his death and forced his own brothers and uncles to sell off their belongings.

Then, in their first direct confrontation, he starved her for five whole days.

The Fourteenth Beile says he is cold-hearted, that he sent his own little brother to the Cold Palace, and that he hates missionaries, fabricating baseless charges to attack his enemies.

Her best friend says he is desperately forcing himself into the role of "the most carefree man under heaven."

Slowly, she discovers that the real Prince Yong is admirable, worthy of respect, lovable, and someone she can rely on.

New novel coming soon: My Sponsored Student Is Yin Si

Heroine: Guo Mian, a stubborn woman from the Chinese entertainment industry who refuses to compromise, age 22.

Hero: Yin Si, the smooth and well-connected virtuous prince of the Great Qing, age 17.

BUG in 4 commutes between the past and present, coming to the modern world once a month, as irregularly as my aunt.

Guo Mian travels to the Qing dynasty once a year, and every time she wreaks havoc on the Forbidden City like Sun Wukong causing trouble in Heaven.

When she was seventeen, Guo Mian sponsored a poor student from a remote mountain village.

The boy lived in hardship and was often bullied, but he was talented, ambitious, well-behaved, and sweet-tongued, making him easy to pity.

She loved him like a little brother.

Five years later, she becomes a sensation after starring in a palace drama, dominating screens and winning the country's most prestigious newcomer award.

She expects her career to reach new heights, but then two blows fall in quick succession.

First, the super-rich investor feared by everyone in the industry sets his sights on her. Anyone who has rejected him has left the industry, while those who accepted his advances have fallen from favor. If he wants her, she's finished either way.

Second, the boy she sponsored for five years shows up at her door in the middle of the night. He not only admits that he's a huge liar, but also wants to become a human trafficker.

The Eighth Prince, Yin Si, has understood the ways of the world since childhood. Everyone around him likes him.

No one knows that he impersonates someone else to make a pen pal, then complains furiously in his letters: Father favors others, stepmother is perfunctory, eldest brother is short-tempered, second brother is overbearing, third brother is arrogant, fourth brother is sensitive... Ninth and Tenth are so hard to deal with!

He achieves success at a young age, becoming a Beile at just seventeen. His fellow Eight Banner nobles all admire him.

Still, no one knows that the admired Eighth Beile writes pitifully to his pen pal: Big sister, I'm sick. I've had a high fever for three days and it won't go down. If there's another life, I hope I can be born by your side.

At the Mulan hunting grounds, Kangxi intends to marry him to the most esteemed princess of the Khorchin. The other princes are green with envy.

He avoids meeting her, then writes a confession that night: Even though Manchus and Han Chinese are forbidden to marry, I love you and want to make you my wife. Even if I can never see you in this life, your name alone will be written as my wife in the imperial family register.

One day, he finally comes to his big sister's side, only for her to call the police and have him taken to the station.

That's right, his pen pal is Guo Mian, a popular actress from three hundred years in the future.

Before transmigrating to the modern world, he thought the only misfortune in his life was falling in love with a woman three hundred years away.

After arriving, he learns that his fate has long been set: father and son will become enemies, brothers will turn against each other, his ambitions will go unfulfilled, and he will die with regrets.

And the Yin Si in the history books is exactly the kind of person Guo Mian hates most.
