A Qing-Dynasty Consort's Life: Consort He Is Done with This

Yun Ying is transmigrated into the Qing dynasty during the reign of Kangxi, as Consort He, and she wants no part of it.

She's a young woman in the prime of her youth. Why should she marry an old man thirty years older than her?

What, does she like his age or the fact that he never bathes?

Even knowing that she'll be favored in the palace, the thought of a young pear blossom pressed beneath an old crabapple makes Yun Ying's scalp go numb.

Luckily, fate's gears have yet to turn. She's only at the beginning of the selection process, so she still has time to set things right.

Yun Ying and her cousin, who is marrying into the Fifth Prince's residence, make a plan. They'll somehow arrange for the Fifth Prince to catch Yun Ying changing, and use that to escape her fate.

But by a stroke of bad luck, the Fourth Prince wanders in by chance and throws everything into disarray.

Yun Ying nearly cries. The future Yongzheng Emperor is famously ascetic and a workaholic, with excellent self-control when it comes to women. She plotted against him like this. Will she have a good life from now on?

Yun Ying is carried into the prince's residence in a sedan chair.

On her wedding night, she looks at the unsmiling young man before her, her eyes turning red with fear.

"Fourth Master, can you hear how fast my heart is beating?"

The Fourth Prince looks at the tearful Gūwalgiya across from him, speechless.

He doesn't know if she's scared, but he's certainly feeling nervous right now.

She's as delicate as fresh snow. If he holds her in his mouth, she'll melt; if he holds her in his hands, he'll drop her.

How can he keep her from being afraid?
