Why Hasn't Empress Tong Died Yet? [A Qing Dynasty Transmigration]

Upcoming novels: My Whole Family Died in Battle, and I Became the Founding Empress; The Qing Dynasty's Poop Cleaner

Synopsis: Tong Yulan transmigrates and becomes empress, but her empress experience lasts only one day. She has transmigrated into Empress Xiaoyiren!

Fortunately, just when all hope seems lost, her bargain-bin son Yinzhen is reborn from the apocalypse with a golden finger. As long as he cherishes his brothers and ascends the throne again, he can extend her life.

Tong Yulan has always been able to hear people's inner thoughts. Before she transmigrated, this golden finger wasn't much use. Now, she thinks it's practically made for her!

Yinzhen has been reborn from the apocalypse. In this life, he has only two wishes: save his Imperial Mother and beat those little brats, his brothers, until they cry.

Looking at his arrogant eldest brother, sensitive second brother, smiling-tiger third brother, and all his many other brothers, each with a different personality but none of them likable, Yinzhen forces out a stiff, eerie smile.

[Heh... I'll kill every last one of you.]

Brotherly Harmony System warning: Host's malice level is about to exceed the limit! To extend the empress's life, the Host must remain kind!

For the sake of his Imperial Mother, he endured it.

But make him emperor? He'd rather go back to the apocalypse and keep chopping up zombies.

Nobody wants to be emperor, and even Kangxi thinks the throne has lost its appeal.

Kangxi: Baicheng? This throne of mine...

The Crown Prince: Your son is of mediocre talent. Father, let Eldest Brother take it.

Kangxi: Baoqing, I've always thought highly of you...

Yinti: I'm busy sailing overseas. Ask Eighth Brother.

Yinsi: On our honeymoon with my wife. Please ask Fourteenth Brother.

Yinzhen: Nobody else wants it? Then neither do I!

Kangxi: Ask me, and I'll say I regret it. If I'd known, I wouldn't have raised them to compete against one another.

Tong Yulan quietly takes credit: At first, she only wanted to live a few more days. But she went too far with her advice. The children's relationships improved, but they also all became content to do nothing.

--- The following are synopses of two upcoming novels ---

My Whole Family Died in Battle, and I Became the Founding Empress: Generals die in battle, but how many ever return? In the twenty-third year of Dayong, every man of the Kou family laid down his life for the nation.

The Shalong army advanced straight toward the capital of Yongjing.

Kou Jingshu stopped her nephew, who was not yet nine. She traded her silk robes for armor and headed for the battlefield.

So what if she was a woman? She could still uphold the Kou family name and defend the realm of Dayong!

A sword's energy stretches thirty thousand li; one flash of its light chills nineteen continents!

In the twenty-fifth year of Dayong, Kou Jingshu led the Kou army in driving the Shalong beyond the passes and reclaiming the eighty-nine lost cities of the western central region.

On the day she returned in triumph, just as the emperor and his ministers were discussing how to reward Kou Jingshu, she offered to give up the credit for saving the country in exchange for permission to enter the court as a woman.

The emperor was delighted. The Shalong were no longer a threat, and Dayong no longer needed a great general who had earned such extraordinary merit. He readily agreed.

Years later, when someone asked Kou Jingshu why she had done it, she said, "The men of my Kou family can die wrapped in their armor, but they must not die because of scheming courtiers. They deserve justice, and the 300,000 innocent soldiers of the Kou army who were wrongly killed deserve justice too."

"Anything else?"

"And..." Kou Jingshu smiled. "I personally took this realm back from the Shalong. Why should I let someone else sit on its throne?"

"If I can reclaim the realm, then I can surely defend it!"

The person asking thought to himself: Is this really what you call defending the realm? Give it a few more years of your reign as empress, and there'll be a Kou army flag planted everywhere people live...

In just a few short years, the Dayong dynasty fell and the Great Kou dynasty rose to power, with Kou Jingshu as its founding empress.

But what no one knew was that she had originally been an ordinary person from another world, forced step by step into that position... Everyone saw how strong she was, but only one person saw how hard she was trying to keep it together.

That day, the victorious army returned, and the people lined the road to welcome them:

She tilted her head back, hiding tears in her eyes. He gazed through the window and saw compassion in the Bodhisattva's face.

The Qing Dynasty's Poop Cleaner: He Yi transmigrates into the Qing palace as a maid whose sole job is to clean up after Imperial Noble Consort Tong. The consort is in poor health and barely poops, so the job is easy and safe, just a little smelly.

Imperial Noble Consort Tong is beautiful and kindhearted. The only problem is that she won't live more than a few days. That won't do! If the beautiful, kindhearted Empress Tong is gone, He Yi might be sent somewhere unpleasant to suffer.

So one day, she works up the courage to say, "Your Highness, there's something wrong with your poop!"

Imperial Noble Consort Tong: "..."

The female lead hands over the meal plan she designed.

-

The palace women all wait for the empress to die. A day passes, and she's fine. A month passes, and she's still alive and well. Six months pass, and the empress's complexion has actually grown rosy. She's more beautiful, too!

They hear it's all thanks to a little palace maid, and the imperial consorts can no longer sit still...

-

Having escaped the terror of losing his mother, Yinzhen calls her over and gives her a rare smile. "You're good."

He Yi happily accepts her reward and fawns, "Is the prince still constipated? I've just made a new batch of honey suppositories. You just have to gently insert one..."

Yinzhen blushes and covers her mouth. "Shut up!"

-

As Fourth Prince Yinzhen is about to move out of the palace and establish his own household, Consort De plans to send one of her own maids to teach Yinzhen about the ways of the bedchamber, hoping to keep this son who was sent away under her control.

Imperial Noble Consort Tong sees her son's dilemma and waves her hand. "Don't worry, Little Fourth. Consort De can't get the better of me. Your mother will give He Yi to you. She knows plenty, so she'll be able to take good care of you!"

He Yi: What would a single woman like me know...? Your Highness, please come to your senses!

Yinzhen glances at the shocked female lead. "I'll do as Mother says."

Theme: Every day deserves to be treated with care.
