A Qing Dynasty Transmigration: The Empress's Legitimate Daughter

Jin Xi transmigrates, looking at her own chubby little hands and the dazzling palace around her:

Heaven has treated her well. Judging by this, she will be either rich or noble.

But why is this so different from the Qing Dynasty she remembers?

Chenghu, the Empress's son and heir who should have died young, has survived just fine.

His mother, Empress Hesheli, has also survived the difficult birth.

And Jin Xi has been born alongside Baicheng, the Empress's second son, as his twin sister, Moyaqi, in Kunning Palace.

Only when Moyaqi hears Empress Hesheli speak does she realize that one of them has been reborn, while the other has transmigrated.

Moyaqi immediately puts her mind at ease.

Her lie-flat life is sure to go smoothly.

So, one day she drags Baicheng off to fight crickets, and the next she makes Yinzhi cry and run to his mother...

Not only the Emperor and Empress, but her two older brothers are fiercely protective of her. The consorts dare not complain, much less say anything.

One day, after Empress Hesheli makes Kangxi promise never to send Moyaqi away to marry a Mongolian prince, she takes her younger son for a walk in the imperial garden.

"Mother, that's Sister and Eldest Brother Zhang! Sister is holding Brother Zhang's hand too, just like we are!"

At those words, the Empress jerks her head up and catches Kangxi's eye as he stands on the stone steps. His face is darker than ink.

Her precious daughter, meanwhile, is smiling as if smiles cost nothing. Tilting her head, she talks intently with the young man.

Later, the Empress's daughter marries Zhang Tingzan, the eldest legitimate son of the Zhang family. Everyone marvels at the Zhang family's good fortune: one family has two imperial companions, and the eldest son even becomes a royal son-in-law.

Moyaqi thinks she has finally "won herself a handsome husband," but after they marry, reminiscing with her husband makes her realize that he had willingly walked into the trap she had set especially for him.

As the Zhang family's eldest legitimate son, Zhang Tingzan has been burdened with enormous expectations since childhood. He has had no time to make mistakes, and certainly no chance to catch his breath.

That is, until he enters the palace and meets Moyaqi.

"Whatever my wife does or says, even if it is as bitter as poison, tastes sweet to me."

[Transmigrating to the Qing Dynasty: Starting as an Intern] Niohuru

Blurb:

Lang Shiyi was a hardworking modern office worker. After working her way up from intern to Level 3-1 at a major tech company, she finally achieved her goal of earning a million a year.

But before she could enjoy it, she cramped up and drowned while swimming in the Maldives on a vacation she had treated herself to as a reward.

In the final second before losing consciousness, all she could think about was the million in savings she hadn't gotten to enjoy.

So she shouted the words that would let her transmigrate: "If I could be reborn one more time, I would..."

But before she could finish, she opened her eyes to the scene before her.

She had a bridal veil over her head, an apple in her hand, and was sitting inside a red wedding sedan.

Lang Shiyi: ...?

Heavens, I said I wanted to be reborn, not transmigrate! Did you get it wrong?

Only after receiving the memories did Lang Shiyi realize that she had transmigrated to the Qing Dynasty and become a Niohuru woman being sent to Fourth Master's household as a concubine.

The original owner had heard many people say that Prince Yong never smiled and was a cold-faced tyrant, so terrifying that even children burst into tears just looking at him.

She had spiraled into a panic inside the sedan and scared herself to death.

Fine, so she has to start as an intern again?

That's a job she knows well.

[With a System, Who Needs to Be Clan Chief?] Construction, farming, System

Blurb:

Gu Yuan has loved simulation games ever since she was little.

After spending a whole month playing the PC game I Contend for the World in a Time of Famine, she had finally unified the realm. But as soon as she took off her VR headset, she became dizzy and died suddenly.

[The player has achieved the highest clear rating, and their life force in the original world is zero. They qualify as a Host for this System. Please choose within three seconds whether you are willing to transmigrate. If you refuse, the player will die immediately.]

I can't accept dying like this!

Without hesitation, Gu Yuan chose "Yes."

When she opened her eyes again, Gu Yuan had transmigrated to the waning years of the Sheng Dynasty.

The Emperor was incompetent, and rebellions were breaking out across the land.

Gu Yuan had become Kunwu Yuan, the youngest yet highest-ranking member of a group fleeing with the surviving villagers.

Fortunately, I Contend for the World in a Time of Famine had become her personal System and transmigrated with her.

[Congratulations, Host, on your rebirth. Your task is to lead your clan members to survive in this era. If the number of clan members reaches zero, the mission will fail, and you will be erased immediately!]

Kunwu Yuan wiped the blood from her lips.

She accepted the job!

However...

Playing is one thing, joking is another.

Now that she has a System, who would settle for being a mere clan chief?

[Hidden in My Heart] A Second Chance at Love

Blurb:

For ten generations, you were the love I openly cherished;

For twenty generations, you were the secret I kept in my heart.

At a public debate in Jiangcheng, the topic is: If you and your beloved are destined not to end up together, would you choose to experience the relationship or walk away?

Affirmative: Experience the relationship

Negative: Walk away

Gu Jiaxing sits in the audience for the negative side, listening for four hours.

Only after the debate ends does the host call her to her feet:

"Miss, I noticed how closely you were listening. Now that the debate is over, do you still stand by the view that one should walk away?"

Gu Jiaxing picks up the microphone, but for a long time, she says nothing.

She has personally faced this very question before, years ago.

And she made her choice then, too.

"Yes, I still stand by the negative side."

"If two people are destined to have no future together, then it would be better if they had never been together in the first place."

When she finishes, a hand rises high in the affirmative audience.

A man in a black trench coat and half-rim glasses stands up.

Those familiar eyes look at her again.

"I don't agree."

"If you sentence someone to death from the very beginning, it's unfair to him and to the relationship."

After He Li finishes speaking, the first snow of the year falls over Jiangcheng without warning.

Gu Jiaxing says nothing more.

The moment she sees He Li again,

she thinks that after all these years of trying so hard to convince herself, she still hasn't succeeded.

Theme: Even on the road ahead, you can stop and take in the scenery along the way.
