Wei Shuanghui transmigrates into the Kangxi Emperor’s harem as Consort Liang, Lady Wei.
The System warns her that, in history, Consort Liang met a tragic end. To avoid dying miserably and having her descendants placed under house arrest, she must reject Kangxi’s favor.
At the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the consorts dress in all their finery, each vying to outshine the others.
Wei Shuanghui goes without makeup and makes herself look old and unattractive.
She checks herself in the mirror. Perfect. No normal man would pay attention to me.
Then Kangxi watches her the entire time. “My beloved consort is humble and kind, content to be a backdrop. I shall reward you with fine silks.”
Wei Shuanghui: Tears streaming, she gets dressed up.
She hears that Kangxi is well versed in Western music and has exacting standards.
Wei Shuanghui sings a song called “Fooled and Duped”: “You’re insane, you’re crazy, you’re the only fool!”
Is it unpleasant? Annoying? Does it feel insulting?
Then Kangxi summons her for compulsory music lessons. “If you still can’t do it, I’ll teach you to play the zither myself, hand over hand.”
Wei Shuanghui: I can do it. I’ll learn right away.
When a foreign delegation visits, everyone eagerly discusses geometry and arithmetic with Kangxi.
Wei Shuanghui’s mind wanders. When called upon, she plays dumb. “This concubine is so stupid. I can’t understand a word Your Majesty is saying.”
See? Surely you don’t want those stupid genes passed down. Now can you leave me alone?
Then Kangxi makes her stay after class for extra tutoring. “Memorize the answers and volunteer to answer tomorrow. Don’t make me look bad.”
Wei Shuanghui: How did I become your stand-in?
Besides relying on her own efforts, Wei Shuanghui uses every means at her disposal to avoid being favored. For example, she supports Noble Lady Tong’s rise and gets Rong Pin to keep framing her...
She plans painstakingly and her schemes are fierce,
but Kangxi’s gaze grows more and more peculiar.
Wei Shuanghui has no choice. Since she can’t figure Kangxi out, she’ll ask around.
“What would make the Emperor lose all interest in someone?”
“Throwing yourself at me until I’m sick of you.”
A preview of The Late Husband's Brother Has His Eye on Me:
Hu Xueming and Han Xiao were betrothed as children. But Han Xiao was ordered to war, and all news of him ceased.
Everyone said the eldest Han son had died in the northern campaign, lamenting that such a gallant young man, in his prime, had met his end on the battlefield.
Hu Xueming shed countless tears for him.
But she couldn’t resist the insistence of both families’ elders, and married the sickly third son of the Han family.
Fortunately, they treated each other with respect after the wedding, living together in peace and harmony.
Three years later, Han Xiao returned victorious. The people lined the streets to welcome him, and the Emperor bestowed lavish rewards upon him.
By then, Hu Xueming had yet to emerge from the grief of losing her husband. She covered her reddened eyes with thick makeup and dressed in plain clothes to welcome the man she once knew.
The boy who once smiled and laughed with her had endured wind and sand, and the hardships of war. He had become a mighty general, imposing even without anger.
One called him “Elder Brother,” the other “Sister-in-law.” With the dead man’s memorial tablet between them, they tore apart the bond they had shared since childhood.
The person he had thought of every day on the battlefield had become a forbidden love.
Han Xiao considered himself deeply favored by the Emperor. What could he possibly lack? Yet in this world, he could never have her again.
She could marry anyone else, but in this world, she could never want him.
Han Xiao could not accept it.
At last, after someone came to propose marriage to Hu Xueming, Han Xiao could no longer hold back. He knocked on her chamber door.
“Is there still a place for me in your heart, Sister-in-law?”
“Watch your words, Elder Brother. A brother who takes his deceased brother’s wife is guilty of adultery.”
“Adultery?”
Han Xiao gave a sinister smile, seized her delicate wrist, and swept her into his arms, carrying her to the bed curtains.
“If you say nothing and I say nothing, then even if we spend every night together, who will ever know?”
Theme: When one road ends, another opens
Thank you too, teacher. This book has brought me a lot of joy. 🙏 I have re-read Shura Field several times. I have been looking forward to this book. I thought the teacher would not fill in the holes. I am very surprised that the teacher can write this book [Make Me Kangkang]
No, why did I miss a section [covering face and laughing and crying] [covering face and laughing and crying] It turns out it was Nalan who was assisting 🐶
It's okay to think of a yawn as a caress, hahahahaha
Shuang Hui: Kangxi was jealous of my talent Kangxi: ... I envy your confidence. Thinking about it after seeing the miscarriage, do you plan to write about the daily life of raising a baby in the harem?
Shuanghui is about to become the Forbidden City singer 🐶 (Kangxi: You have a problem with your aesthetics!)
Watching Hui concubine use the art of overwhelming victory, I couldn't help but think of Yin Ti [transformed]
I laughed almost from the beginning to the end [covering my face while crying] and it felt like everyone looked very immoral.
This imaginary picture really made me laugh to death. And Lao Ba and Lao Si, please be careful about sending nuclear bombs to each other. You two are neighbors separated by only a wall 🐶
I went and found out that this book was actually updated! I gave it to my friend Anli Suyao before, but I still regret that there is no movement in this book [Spread Flowers]
Those things about Lao Ai's compound
