A Concubine's Daily Life of Eating, Drinking, and Getting Promoted (Qing Dynasty Transmigration)

Please add my upcoming novels A Leisurely Life for a Concubine's Daughter and The College Entrance Exam Failure of the Seventies to your reading lists! Their blurbs are at the end.

Twenty-year-old college student Zhang Shaohua transmigrates into the body of Shaohua Zhangjia, a Manchu official's daughter.

After being selected in the palace draft, Shaohua is casually assigned by Kangxi to the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen.

Life in a grand household isn't easy. Shaohua can only shrug and sigh helplessly.

Huh? How come life is better than she expected? She has a house and children, cats and dogs, and every day she gets to eat, drink, gossip, and watch the drama unfold. What a wonderful life!

But Fourth Master, why do you keep coming by more and more often? And how did she go from a lowly concubine to an Imperial Noble Consort?

Reading Guide:

1. The heroine doesn't take things to heart.

2. She has a golden finger, a portable space, but it doesn't appear right away.

★★ Blurb for A Leisurely Life for a Concubine's Daughter: The Anping Earl's household has fallen from a top-tier clan to the lowest rank of nobility. All seven daughters of the family are treated as commodities to be married off.

The eldest marries into a noble family, the second marries a respected civil official, the third marries a military officer, and the fourth marries a promising scholar from a humble family. By the time it's fifth daughter An Yang's turn, rumors say she's to be married off to a merchant family in exchange for silver.

An Yang, who died suddenly in her previous life and plans to lie flat in this one, isn't worried in the least. A merchant family sounds great: they'll have money to support her lazy lifestyle, time to let her sleep until late morning, and not too many household rules.

Who knew that the most easygoing prince in the Great Jing Dynasty would fall for her? An Yang reclines on a low couch, eating grapes with her feet up. Hmm... it's not a bad idea. Then she'll marry him and become one half of the most easygoing couple around!

★ Blurb for The College Entrance Exam Failure of the Seventies: Zou Ling is the adored youngest daughter of the Zou family, cherished so much by her grandparents and parents that they could practically melt her in their hands.

When the state calls on educated youth to go work in the countryside, Zou Ling is just old enough to qualify. The Zou family can't bear the thought of her going. How could they let her leave?

They force Zou Ling's eldest sister to give up her job at the textile mill to Zou Ling, and then make her go to the countryside in Zou Ling's place.

"Your little sister is only sixteen. Going to the countryside would be the death of her!"

"You're older than her, so you should give way. She's your own sister!"

Zou Ling's mother grits her teeth. "When you come back from the countryside, your sister will give the job back to you."

Three years later, the college entrance exams are reinstated. Zou Ping passes and returns to the city, but Zou Ling's mother is eager to make good on her promise. "Your sister failed the exam. Give her your place at university, and then she can give you back your job at the textile mill."

Hatred flares in the eyes of Zou Ping, who has been reborn. Zou Ling, who has just transmigrated into the story, quickly tugs at her mother's clothes. "Mom, so I failed. I'll just take the exam again next year!"

The hatred in Zou Ping's eyes momentarily stills.

Zou Ling clutches her chest and gasps for breath. Who could have guessed she'd transmigrate into a book, and that she'd be the cannon-fodder supporting character who takes the heroine's place at university and meets a tragic end?

There's no way a law-abiding citizen like her would take someone else's place at university!

Besides, before she transmigrated, she was a small-town exam ace. The college entrance exam is no challenge for her!
