The Cannon-Fodder Original Wife in a Period Novel

My new novel, The Guarjiya Clan in the Qing Dynasty, is being prepared and is expected to launch in July. Thank you all! Ning Anch up, a famed undefeated general of the Chu Dynasty, transmigrated into a book titled A Splendid Life, becoming the male lead's first wife, who died young. In the book, due to bad information, she became a young widow who had just lost her husband and was struggling to raise her frail daughter. Her parents were not very loving, her brothers and sisters-in-law were not very kind, and she was a pushover, so she suffered plenty of losses, both openly and behind the scenes. After Ning Anch up transmigrated into her body, her sister-in-law came to the house again to "stock up." She refused to put up with it. Who did this person think she was, daring to take liberties with her? General Ning was the one who skimmed off other people's money and squeezed silver from their hands to pay for the army. No one had ever dared to reach out to her. If anyone did, she'd break their hand! Then things took a turn she couldn't understand. Her not-so-loving family actually threatened to cut ties if she wouldn't let them "stock up"? These were the very relatives who had "sold" the original owner's daughter in the book. What was there to say? Cut ties! Zhou Xi, reborn back into her childhood, resolved to beat down her awful relatives, kick her scumbag father, protect her delicate mother, and become a role model for women in the new era. But after she was reborn, her mother, whom she remembered as too frail to look after herself, went toe-to-toe with a wild boar to save her. And she actually won! So had she really been reborn? Or was this just a beautiful dream she'd made up? Pre-release: The Story of Consort Zhao in the Qing Dynasty Xuan Zhao, who was born into the Qing Dynasty, had a long, vivid dream before the selection of palace consorts. In the dream, her older sister, Guarjiya Zhiqi, was frail and timid. She claimed to be ill, delaying her entry into the palace by three years so that she and Xuan Zhao could be selected together. By a twist of fate, the Crown Prince, Yinreng, took an interest in her and wanted to bring her into the Y Qing Palace. Xuan Zhao tried in vain to dissuade her. The Crown Prince's deposition was still more than twenty years away. She would do everything she could to help Zhiqi win his favor and bear him a grandson. If their father and eldest brother could make a name for themselves at court, they might be able to protect Zhiqi when the political winds shifted and help her live out her days in peace. But she had no idea that Zhiqi had long grown sick of her cautious schemes and feared and loathed her. Zhiqi also wanted to get rid of a pregnant secondary consort. So she devised a cruel plan to kill two birds with one stone. Guarjiya Zhiqi succeeded. Xuan Zhao had never been on her guard against Zhiqi. The charge of harming the imperial grandson was laid squarely at her feet, leaving her no way to defend herself. Xuan Zhao woke from the dream, her back drenched in cold sweat. The bitter taste of a deadly poison still seemed to linger in her mouth, and Zhiqi's resentful words rang in her ears: "Guarjiya Rui'an wanted to save you, but it's too late!" When she thought carefully about everything that had happened in the household over the past ten years, every detail matched the dream. The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became! There was just over a month left before the selection of palace consorts. Xuan Zhao lowered her eyes and decided to find out why Guarjiya Zhiqi hated her and Rui'an. But she never imagined that the truth would be so hard to accept! Nor had she expected such vicious infighting in the nearly fallen Guarjiya household! What were those people after? The crumbling Guarjiya estate? The unspoken misgivings buried deep in the emperor's heart? Thinking of the palace's treacherous intrigues in her dream and the bloody struggle among the Nine Princes decades later, Xuan Zhao clenched her fists. If Zhiqi was so eager to take a shortcut into the Y Qing Palace, then let her go. But this time, Xuan Zhao wouldn't go along with her. Xuan Zhao climbed to the highest point of the artificial hill in the courtyard and stood on tiptoe, looking toward the Forbidden City. She knew who would emerge victorious in the struggle among the Nine Princes... She would protect her mother and her brothers. As for Zhiqi, she wanted to see how well her sister would fare in the Y Qing Palace, a place that devoured people, without Xuan Zhao exhausting herself on her behalf and planning every step! Pre-release: The Love-Brained Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel After being cheated on by her boss and boyfriend, Du Man was heartbroken and out of a job. At a friend's recommendation, she read a period novel to cheer herself up. But the female supporting character was a hopeless romantic with a name that sounded just like hers. The more Du Man read, the angrier she got, until her chest hurt. When she woke up, Du Man discovered she'd become that love-brained supporting character, Du Man! Help! Thinking about how she'd give the male lead all the good food and useful things from her own home, come running whenever he called and leave whenever he sent her away, only to end up with nothing, made her feel like her heart was going to stop. And that wasn't even the worst of it. After something happened to the male lead's family, the female lead wanted him to be able to go home for a visit, so she coaxed Du Man into stealing the official seal belonging to her father, the brigade leader, and the family's savings to give to her. Then the female lead took all the credit. The male lead was so grateful that he swore to treat her well for the rest of his life. In the end, the two of them lived happily in love for the rest of their lives. Because of the seal, Du Man's father was stripped of his position as brigade leader and spent the rest of his life miserable. Her brother couldn't come up with enough money for the bride price and lost the woman he loved. Du Man herself got nothing good out of it, either. After all she sacrificed, the male lead didn't thank her. Instead, he crushed her hopes completely, saying there was only one woman in his heart: the female lead. Would Du Man accept that? She did everything she could to split up the male and female leads, but nothing worked. In the end, the female lead had had enough. She used a scheme to marry Du Man off to a village hooligan. At the thought of it, Du Man felt like she was going to lose it! She immediately tossed aside her love-brained self and stomped on it a few times, swearing she wanted nothing more to do with that lovesick fool! On an ordinary day, Du Man carried a basket of food to her family, who were working in the fields. The male lead's good buddy spotted her from afar, nudged him, winked, and teased, "She's bringing you food again." The male lead said coldly, "I don't need it." He was thinking of saying something harsh this time, to teach Du Man a lesson and make her stop pestering him. Then Du Man walked right past them as if she hadn't even seen them. She walked away...
