After transmigrating into the body of the Great Princess, who was gravely injured and unconscious, Zhao Lingyi woke to some news: her birth mother, Empress Dowager Miao, felt sorry for her and had decided to adopt a child for her.
Zhao Lingyi shook her head like a rattle drum.
Her husband had died young, she had no children, and she was a princess. Where else could she find such a good deal?
Raise a child? Whoever wanted to could do it. She had no desire to become a mother by default.
Then she accidentally learned she had transmigrated into Dream of the Red Chamber, and her beloved Lin Daiyu had just returned to the Jia family after her father's death.
Zhao Lingyi: Wait, Mother, didn't you say I could adopt a child?
*
Daiyu had never imagined she would have another mother.
She stepped into the Great Princess's residence nervously, and little by little, she found her days quietly transformed.
She no longer had to take those useless ginseng-nourishing pills. Whenever she wanted to read, rare and unique books from all over the world were hers to peruse. When the noble young ladies from other families invited her over, she could invite them to her own "home" in return.
She was healthy, her maids were loyal, her adoptive mother was kind and understanding, and she had two or three confidantes.
She had nothing left to complain about.
People said Zhao Lingyi was cold and heartless.
She showed no regard for family ties and relentlessly pressured her husband's family. If a maid or a servant made even the smallest mistake, she had them beaten to death.
Knowing the truth, Daiyu couldn't agree.
Until--
One day, Zhou Rui's wife gossiped about her behind her back. "With Miss Lin so frail she could topple in a breeze, the Yongjia Great Princess doesn't mind?"
Zhao Lingyi happened to pass by. "I don't mind sewing your mouth shut."
Then Zhou Rui's wife's mouth was "sewn" shut with paste.
Daiyu: What am I supposed to do? I still can't agree.
My adoptive mother is clearly the best person in the world!

Zhao Lingyi's daily life vs. Daiyu's daily life
The world: The Yongjia Great Princess would never raise a child.
Zhao Lingyi: Raising Yuer, protecting Yuer, cherishing Yuer! My girl is the absolute best!
The world: The Yongjia Great Princess is a troublemaker.
Daiyu: My adoptive mother is the best in the world!

-- "Coming Soon" --
The Ming Dynasty's First Lady
Xu Miaorong never imagined she would become the Ming Dynasty's first lady.
Before she transmigrated, she was simply the top salesperson. Apart from making money, she knew nothing.
After transmigrating, she was a noblewoman in name only.
Looking at her husband, who glared at her with cold disdain, and her purse, emptied by spending money on him, Xu Miaorong resolutely turned away and decided to embrace a new era--
Her brother-in-law Zhu Di was about to ascend the throne, and the Yongle Golden Age was about to begin. The times were calling. With opportunity right in front of her, why let it pass by?
Answering the call of the times, she rolled up her sleeves. One word: go!
She won a high-stakes bet against Zhu Di, and her formerly empty purse filled up.
By a twist of fate, she made it into the history books, and future cabinet powerhouses came looking for her.
Somehow, she became the hope of Ming literature, and the husband who had hated her came back to her.
She single-handedly boosted the Ming economy, and the entire empire began to cherish her!
Xu Miaorong: What's going on?
I only wanted to invest in myself, but I ended up building the Ming Dynasty?
She did it for herself, and the Ming Dynasty did it for her.
This thriving Ming Dynasty is pretty great!

A short scene:
The Ming Dynasty was developing at an unprecedented pace. One day, a historian picked up his brush to faithfully record the lives of people awarded the "Ming Medal."
First up: Princess Consort An, Xu Miaorong.
Historian: A friendly reminder: I'll leave out anything too lengthy, so describe Princess Consort An in one sentence.
Zhu Di: I've never met anyone so greedy!
The imperial clan: I've never met anyone so unscrupulous!
Zhu Zhanji: I've never met anyone so far-sighted!
Yang Rong: I've never met anyone so talented!
Xu Huizu: ...
Zhu Gaochi: ...
Zhu Ying: ...
Historian: ...
One sentence apiece, and I still can't fit them on a single page. Forget it, I'll ask Princess Consort An instead.
Historian: Princess Consort An, how would you describe yourself?
Xu Miaorong: They're all right. I won't deny it.
Theme: A parent's love for their child means making far-reaching plans on their behalf
It turned out that they were so sweet, and the consort was so charming and unique. No wonder Zhao Lingyi later found so many of the consort's front ends clearly in the memory of the original owner.
The Queen Mother is leaving a way out for the eldest princess. After all, the Emperor is ruthless.
Scatter flowers and hope that Jade Goose can be peaceful and carefree in every parallel time and space
Lu Congjing still heard Daiyu praise him and liked this sweet extra.
Emperor, why is this necessary?
The Sixth Prince is really a very understanding person, and his feelings for dogs are so clear. Those who are looking for a substitute should really learn from this.
It's great that the eldest princess really loves Daiyu and left a way for Daiyu to escape. Even if she doesn't need it, it's because the eldest princess has a far-reaching plan! Xiao Lu understands Daiyu
You are all immersed in the love between two young people, but I am the only one who sees the author's strong knowledge reserve.
Jia Yuanchun was too ambitious. Like her mother, she hoped that her daughter would become a palace concubine and the emperor would confer a title to her son. In Wang's mind, the title of Jia Mansion should belong to her man. Being a fifth-rank Yiren is wronging her, and her son should be a first-rank marquis.
Nice article, I am satisfied to see my sister so happy
