Recommending my next book: My Qing Dynasty Life as Qianlong's Older Sister. Blurb at the bottom.
[This Book's Blurb]
Fu Chang dies after helping someone in danger and gets a System.
The System says it'll take her to cultivate immortality, but the two of them crash along the way and wind up in the Great Qing. The System hastily places her in the womb of Empress Heseri, the current empress, making her an unofficial member of the imperial princes' crew.
Fu Chang cries so hard she wants to die.
As a descendant of the Hua people, who hasn't dreamed of cultivating immortality?
The System can only comfort her: Since you're here, make the best of it.
Its System space contains countless golden finger skills. Just a few of them will be enough to make her out to be the most blessed girl under heaven. Her father will be the emperor, her younger brother will be the emperor, and her nephew will be the emperor too... She can live out a life of wealth and comfort. Isn't that much more fun than cultivating immortality?

Kangxi notices that ever since Empress Heseri became pregnant with twins, strange things keep happening around him.
First, strange arrows appear in the air, guiding him to discover that someone in the harem is plotting against the imperial heir.
Then he suddenly understands the neighing of horses and discovers that someone has tampered with a saddle.
Warnings of earthquakes keep appearing on memorials and on every piece of furniture or vessel he can see.
As the empress's due date approaches, he has terrifying nightmares for more than half a month in a row: after giving birth, the empress will suffer a massive hemorrhage and leave him forever!
He consults the ancestors and the shamans.
Their reply is just eight words: "A blessed daughter arrives in the imperial family."
Kangxi falls into deep thought: Relying on a daughter might not be a bad idea!
*
As time passes, Fu Chang becomes more and more convinced she's been tricked.
She hasn't seen a single one of the golden fingers the System promised!
The System, however, insists on its case. "Didn't you get to live in the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"
Fu Chang: ...Well, I did.
System: "Isn't your imperial mother still alive?"
Fu Chang: ...She is.
System: "The heir to the throne is your lackey. Your little brother peels so many grapes for you that they could circle the dining table twice. You weren't sent off to marry into a Mongolian tribe, and your princess's residence is three times bigger than a prince's mansion.
"Everyone under heaven praises you as the blessing of the Great Qing. Tell me, haven't you enjoyed all this wealth and glory?"
Fu Chang falls silent.
Reader's Guide:
This book is also known as Why Have All My Golden Fingers Stopped Working?
1. There are all kinds of golden fingers, and every single one comes true for the people around the female lead.
2. Golden fingers are temporary, not permanent.
3. The female lead gets a head start. Everyone from the Crown Prince on down is her little brother.
4. Empress Heseri survives, with the beloved and true-love buffs stacked to the max.
5. Later, the female lead will discover that her golden fingers are disappearing one after another. See the last paragraph of the blurb for details.
6. An alternate-history Qing transmigration story with lots of original details. Please don't overanalyze the history. Just switch off your brain and enjoy it!

-- Blurb for My Qing Dynasty Life as Qianlong's Older Sister --
Whether before or after transmigrating, Shen Zhaoyu lives by one rule: If you're going to hit your little brother, do it early.
So when the System tells her that her transmigration mission is to "win over the future Emperor Qianlong and get on his good side," she simply lowers the hand she'd raised to smack the brat on the back of the head, her face expressionless.
She'll try to hit him less from now on.

His older sister suddenly stops hitting him.
At first, Hongli is ecstatic. To celebrate, he eats three big bowls of frozen cheese, spends the next two days running to the latrine, and waits for his older sister to come discipline him, as their father ordered. But she doesn't come even once.
He fights with Hongsheng, his third uncle's son, and his sister walks right past as if the book in her hands were her real little brother.
He puts croton seeds in his tutor's food, rubs chili powder on the cloth his attendant uses to wipe away sweat, tramples the camellias his legal mother has carefully grown, bends his mother's golden hairpin, and sneaks into his father's study to tear up letters...
His sister turns a blind eye to all of it.
His sister doesn't want him anymore!!!
...Waaah.
*
When he was young, he went to great lengths to win back his sister's discipline.
Even after ascending the throne, Hongli remains afraid of his sister.
If his sister gives him a glare, he doesn't dare stamp a seal, marry a Mongolian princess, travel south of the Yangtze, or take Xiang Fei as a consort...
He follows the rules and works diligently, terrified he won't become the "emperor of the ages who lives up to the glory of his ancestors" that his sister spoke of.
