Princess Wei

Liu Yao transmigrates into the body of a newborn princess. At the time, she is the only princess in the palace, and is utterly adored. Her mother has just been granted the title of Madam after giving birth to the Emperor's first child, making her the talk of the court. She dotes on Liu Yao as if she were the apple of her eye.

But...

Her mother is Wei Zifu.

Her uncle is Wei Qing, Grand Marshal and Great General of the Western Han.

Her cousin is Huo Qubing, Grand Marshal, Cavalry General, and Marquis of Champion of the Western Han.

That's right, her father is Emperor Wu of Han.

Liu Yao looks at the handsome young Emperor holding her high in the air, his face full of affection.

This is none other than the famous Emperor Wu of Han, who crushed the Xiongnu, expanded into the Western Regions, and established the Silk Road...

Thinking of how, in his later years, he would “neglect the people and seek the gods”...

Most importantly, her mother and her future little brother, the Crown Prince, both meet tragic fates. Liu Yao raises her little hand to her forehead, already getting a headache...

“What are you doing, A-Yao?” Liu Che is amused by the child's innocent gesture.

Liu Yao lets out a long sigh. “I'm thinking about how to keep Father from going astray.”

Liu Che: ...

First, she gets the Four Great Inventions underway, then slowly adds blast furnaces, porcelain, glass, and cement... In the end, the great and farsighted Emperor Wu does not exactly go astray, but he does completely let loose. The Xiongnu are gone, the Western Regions are pacified, and since he can't seek immortality, surely he can pursue other ambitions. What about the ocean? There's land beyond it... Well, all under Heaven belongs to the emperor. It's all mine.

Liu Yao does her best to tug him back. “Father, take it easy! We need to keep our feet on the ground. Don't go too far!”

The heroine's love interest: Cao Xiang, who does not die young.

This novel is also known as How to Keep Father from Going Astray.

Reader's note: Since this is a transmigration story, it follows a parallel timeline. Please don't nitpick the historical details.

Everyday Chaos in the Early Tang

Tang dynasty, June of the ninth year of Wude. Prince of Qin Li Shimin launches the Xuanwu Gate Incident. Li Yuan then abdicates, taking the title of Retired Emperor, and Li Shimin ascends the throne, adopting the era name Zhenguan. Thirteen days later, he makes the Lady of the Sun his empress.

Then the Lady of the Sun's chronic illness worsens. Li Shimin posts a golden notice, offering a reward to any renowned physician who can cure the empress.

In her previous life, she studied software testing. In this one, Zhaiyue is a five-year-old novice Taoist. She studies the golden notice thoughtfully. Li Shimin shouldn't be too hard to fool, right?

Li Shimin: ...

Li Shimin discovers a lively, adorable little Taoist. Though she is a commoner, she has an exceptional, charming appearance and seems strangely familiar. She usually goes around saying “Boundless Heavenly Venerable” and “Hurry, hurry, as the law commands,” but when she's in a rush, she blurts out “Amitabha.” She also has strange abilities and isn't afraid of him. It's just that her sharp tongue can sometimes be even more infuriating than Wei Zheng's.

Later, he realizes she seems familiar because the child's eyes and brows resemble Guanyinbi's.

After Li Zhaiyue proposes the policy of taxing people instead of land, the aristocratic clans turn against her, denouncing her as a demon Taoist and clamoring for her execution.

She's had it!

Li Shimin's face darkens.

She is the lost treasure he and Guanyinbi once lost. Anyone who dares bully her will have their entire clan executed.

Unfortunately, she doesn't acknowledge him and doesn't believe a word the emperor says.

Furious at the aristocratic clans' slander, Li Zhaiyue jumps up and down. She only wanted to earn a living, so why are they being so vicious? Fine, then. They can't blame her for fighting back. As someone who has transmigrated here, she has no shortage of ways to stir things up.

She declares war.

Li Zhaiyue: “Amitabha. Though Heaven cherishes life, I have always repaid grudges with grudges. Repaying kindness with resentment can wait until my next life!”

The assembled officials of the Tang dynasty: ...

Little Taoist, do you remember who you are?

The Princess's Career Change Guide

As a newly employed archaeologist, Yin Man scoffs at the saying that disturbing ancestral graves will bring divine retribution. China has five thousand years of history, so why shouldn't she study her own ancestors' tombs?

But...

She gazes at the magnificent pavilions and towers before her, stretching endlessly, with a tower every five paces and a pavilion every ten.

Then she turns to look at the young boy beside her, who smiles gently and reaches out to feel her forehead. “A-Yin, are you still asleep?”

Yin Man's mouth twitches. She looks down at her little hands, takes a deep breath, and gazes up at the clear blue sky, silently rolling her eyes at Heaven.

Damn Heaven! An earthquake sent her all the way back to the Qin dynasty. Send her back already! She won't do archaeology anymore. She'll change careers as soon as she gets home.

“Um... Brother Fusu.” Yin Man, no... She should be called Ying Yinman now. She forces a smile at the young boy. “Yes, yes! I'm still dreaming. Don't say anything.”

Fusu looks puzzled. There's something strange about A-Yin's tone.

Ying Yinman gazes at the towering Qin palace before her. Who could have imagined that in little more than ten years, the mighty Qin Empire, which unified the roads and the written language, would collapse in a single day? Both Fusu before her and she herself would become sacrifices to the empire.

If she had been one of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's other daughters, she might not know what awaited her. Unfortunately, Ying Yinman is the only princess recorded in later history. As a beloved daughter of the First Emperor, her fate is only slightly better than Fusu's: in the first year of Qin Er Shi's reign, Hu Hai has her executed by dismemberment.

Thinking of this fellow sufferer, she says, “Brother, let's go beat up Hu Hai.”

Revenge first.

Fusu nearly chokes on her words, then laughs. “A-Yin, little Hu Hai is only two. We can't hit him. Besides... he's our little brother. We can't hit him later, either.” Hu Hai is ten years younger than him.

Ying Yinman chuckles. When it comes to life and death, she wouldn't hesitate to beat up a child.

As the daughter of Emperor Qin Shi Huang and a noble princess of Qin, Ying Yinman calculates her prospects and realizes the future is far too dangerous. The career of Qin princess is going nowhere. Even if she somehow escapes death, she'll probably be used as a political marriage pawn.

After weighing her options, she decides to change career paths.

As the First Emperor's daughter and a descendant of Huaxia, it doesn't seem too hard for a princess to become an empress in her own right.

Take a chance, and a bicycle could become a motorcycle. Could anything be worse than being executed by dismemberment?
