Thinking back on the historical Fourth Consort's virtuous yet miserable life, Jiang Shuyue thinks, This is a disaster! On their wedding night, her drunken groom pulls his tiny bride into his arms like a bolster. Jiang Shuyue pokes her head out and asks, "Your Highness, are we allowed to grow vegetables in the palace?" From then on, the workaholic remains a workaholic, but takes up farming as a hobby. #A descendant of Shennong transmigrates to the Qing dynasty to farm# #I sow one seed in spring, and reap ten thousand catties of grain in autumn# #You take care of me, and I'll feed the whole world# PS: This is a fictional Qing Transmigration setting.

Upcoming book blurb: Shi Jing wakes up in the Qing dynasty as the primary consort of Crown Prince Yinreng: Lady Shi, the crown princess of the twice-deposed and twice-reinstated crown prince. She marries at twenty, into Yuhua Palace, where concubines abound and the excess rivals the legendary lakes of wine and forests of meat. At twenty-two, she gives birth to a daughter. The crown prince seems to have been turned gay and becomes an abusive husband. From thirty-four to thirty-eight, she suffers the ups and downs of being deposed, reinstated, and deposed again, and is imprisoned until her death. Two years later, her only daughter is married off to Mongolia. As an experienced transmigrator, Shi Jing refuses to live such a messed-up life. So, on her wedding night, she and Yinreng do nothing but chat in a group. This group is a trophy from Shi Jing's previous transmigration. It's called the [Crown Princes Who Were Fall Guys Group Chat]. Behind Yinreng's back, Shi Jing sets up an account for him, secretly adds him to the group, posts a few updates to his social feed on his behalf, then goes invisible. Yinreng feels a little out of place when he first joins. He's the Son of Heaven's favored child, the crown prince cherished by his father. How could he be a fall guy? Yinreng: "You guys are fall guys. I'm not!" Yang Yong, Crown Prince of the Sui dynasty, sneers: "Who wasn't once a darling? I only liked luxury, which displeased my father. Then I offended my mother by favoring concubines over my wife, and on top of that, my younger brother loved putting on a show. That's how I was driven to suicide." Yinreng feels a pang of recognition: He checks every box. Li Chengqian, Crown Prince of the Tang dynasty, chuckles. "Who wants to be a fall guy? My father's disdain began when I started sleeping with men." Yinreng raises his sleeve: At least he hasn't gone that far. Then he looks at Fusu and Liu Ju, the Han crown prince, and is utterly confused. "You were both shining examples. How did you end up here?" They answer in unison: "We were too powerful, so our fathers grew wary of us." Yinreng breaks into a cold sweat: He suddenly thinks of Suo'etu. The last one is Zhu Biao, crown prince of the Ming dynasty, whom he knows well. "You died of illness. Why are you here too?" Zhu Biao looks at him. "I'm the comparison group." Yinreng: ... From then on, Yinreng becomes hopelessly obsessed with chatting in the group. Concubines, male favorites, and the Crown Prince's faction? He doesn't care that his crown princess has sent them all packing. Kangxi tears up: My son has finally grown up after getting married. The imperial consorts gaze starry-eyed: One husband, one wife? We are so jealous of the crown princess! The princes seethe: Before marriage, he was like Yang Yong; after marriage, he's like Zhu Biao. How are the rest of us supposed to compete! Theme: Food is the people's first necessity.
