The Lazy Fifth Prince Is Bound to a Reading System (Qing Dynasty Transmigration)

Please add my upcoming novel, "The Daily Life of Yongzheng's Daughter as She Cheats Death," to your reading list!

Under the Empress Dowager's protection, little Fifth Brother Yinqi lazed about until he was seven without learning Chinese. He ate, played, and had the time of his life.

One day, he bound himself to a reading System filled with storybooks in Manchu and Mongolian, and Yinqi eagerly started reading.

The first book: The Crown Prince was appointed and deposed twice, grew disillusioned, and lived a carefree life with the heroine. The deposed crown prince was called Yinreng?

The second book: A young emperor seized his younger brother's wife, then gave up the throne to elope with her. Was that emperor called Fulin?

The third book: After the last emperor lost his country, he started a new family. The fallen dynasty was called the Great Qing?

Yinqi: "..." I urgently need a brain that hasn't read any of this.

Yinqi refused to give up and read many more books, wanting to see how many treasonous stories the System had.

Then he earned points, and the System randomly gave him a book.

Yinqi held the copy of Records of Righteousness and Enlightenment that had appeared in his hands. The title sounded proper, but the contents... Well, it was in Chinese, and he couldn't understand much.

He went to ask Fourth Brother to explain it to him.

The books Yinqi received were always in Chinese, and always missing pages, so he generously gave them to his father and brothers.

And so the eldest brother became fascinated with military history, the second brother took up economics, the third and fourth brothers fought over a high school physics textbook, and his younger brothers and sisters lined up to read fairy tales...

As for his father, he still hadn't recovered from the shock of reading modern history.

Books are the ladder of human progress. I, little Yinqi, am bringing everyone a ladder, so climb on up, Ama and brothers!

A lighthearted, family-focused story about a pampered darling. Please don't nitpick the historical details.

Also add my upcoming novel in the same series, "The Daily Life of Yongzheng's Daughter as She Cheats Death," to your reading list!

Yun'an was reborn as the daughter of Side Consort Nian in Prince Yong's household. She should have had a happy family: a father who would become emperor, a doting mother, a kind stepmother, three older brothers who adored their little sister, and a beautiful older sister.

But Yun'an knew happiness was fleeting, because she could see how long everyone would live. And a System whispered demonic words in her ear all day: [Your mother has ten years left and won't live to see you marry. Your father has twenty years left and won't live to see you have a child. Your sister has one year left and won't live to see you grow up... Luckily, you've bound yourself to a life-extending System. If someone fulfills one of your wishes, you can exchange it for a corresponding number of life points.]

So little Yun'an, who had only just learned to talk, ran to her mother and rattled off a list of pastries she wanted to eat. Then she went to her father and listed more than a dozen toys she wanted. Then she asked her sister to make her pretty little dresses...

Fourth Prince knew he had little luck with daughters. And since Yun'an had been frail from birth, she would be hard to raise. So he treasured their short time together and doted on his youngest daughter with all his heart. In the end, he spoiled Yun'an from a little girl into the most influential Princess of the First Rank in the Great Qing.

Bonus scene:

Yun'an was spoiled into a lazy little girl who hated studying, and would secretly get her third and fifth brothers to do her homework for her.

Hongshi and Hongzhou both hated studying too, and independently passed the task to Hongli, the only academic overachiever in the family.

Hongli, who was never needed by his little sister, wiped away his bitter tears and quietly took on every assignment.

Then Yun'an noticed that the number above Fourth Brother's head had passed one hundred.

A lighthearted, family-focused story about a pampered darling, meant to entertain. Please don't nitpick the historical details.
