A Guide to Simulating Life in Ancient Times

The first four chapters are pending replacement

You transmigrated, and the System gave you a few stats as a bonus.

How will you use your limited points to improve your life?

First Life:

You put most of your points into your [Golden Finger]. How could a transmigrator like you possibly go without one? You were going to cheat! You were going to get a cheat no one could match!

Your points were limited, so the [Golden Finger] you got was called "Search Engine." In exchange, while keeping your stats in areas like [Health], [Appearance], and [Luck] from getting too ridiculously low, your [Family Background] was a downright disastrous start.

So when you were six, your family was so poor they could barely feed themselves, and they sold you to a court eunuch who had come to select palace attendants.

Your [Luck] wasn't good enough, so you were assigned to the Crown Prince's palace. He was your age, but because his birth mother had low status, the emperor disliked him. He had been made Crown Prince only because he was the emperor's first child, and could be deposed at any moment.

Living under constant pressure had made his temperament violent and cruel.

You entered the Crown Prince's palace in fear and trepidation. Before you could even think of how to use your golden finger, you found yourself face-to-face with a boy your age, dressed in splendid clothes and ornaments.

He immediately decided to have you put to death.

To save your life, you ingratiated yourself with him, telling him you knew how to win his parents' favor. And so you survived, for the time being.

While the people around you looked on coldly, you worked diligently in the Crown Prince's palace and lived in peace. You helped the Crown Prince secure his position and secretly build his power, until the prince no one had ever believed in ascended the throne.

That night, you served tea to the new emperor, hoping to obtain permission to leave the palace.

But he gave you a knowing look, took your hand, and rose from the imperial throne to stand beside you. He whispered in your ear, "Qingqing taught me that I must be patient to get what I want. I've endured all the way until today. Why must the person I want most leave me?"

Second Life:

Your first life had taken too much out of you. This time, you wanted to be a carefree freeloader, doing nothing and adored by everyone. So you put most of your points into [Appearance] and [Family Background].

You became the niece of the Empress Dowager of the reigning dynasty and were selected to enter the palace. The emperor fell in love with you at first sight. You grew up together, and in the end he made you his empress. He loved and doted on you, and everything was just about what you'd hoped for. But because you were short on points, your [Health] was poor, and you were often tormented by illness.

The emperor was often away from you, inspecting the borders and dealing with military affairs. The precious medicinal ingredients you needed had to be found by the emperor's younger brother.

Rumors began to circulate in the palace, and they weren't entirely unfounded. So when the emperor eventually learned of the matter and flew into a rage, you calmly accepted his fury.

He didn't depose you and take another woman as empress. He merely confined you. Then, just before his death, he issued an order sentencing you to death and commanding that you be buried with him.

You calmly drank the poisoned wine, but woke in another familiar embrace.

After the emperor's younger brother ascended the throne, everything else in the palace seemed unchanged, aside from the emperor being a different man. You were still empress.

But the new emperor's paranoia was unbearable. You began quarreling, and after he deposed and reinstated you four times, he died by suicide when his army lost the war and the enemy forces entered the capital.

You were heartbroken, but when you looked up, the enemy commander was staring at you without blinking. His gaze was subtle, and all too familiar.

Third Life:

You gave deep thought to what had gone wrong in your first two lives. Hard work couldn't compete with being born lucky, so this time you decided to focus on [Luck].

You were born into a poor family of commoners during an age of war, but you were beautiful from birth. From childhood onward, people coveted you, wanting to devour you or take you by force.

But no one could lay a finger on you.

For even as an infant, you were powerfully protected by fate.

It wasn't long before people noticed that something was different about you, and word spread. At first they regarded you as a monster, but after benefiting from you, they began to see you as a divine maiden.

When you grew up, you had the skills and methods you had accumulated over your first two lives, along with the renown and luck you hadn't possessed before.

To stop the various warlords from fighting over you, you decided to start from scratch and ascend the throne yourself.
