Making Wishes Come True, Starting at Yonghe Temple

"Getting Everything I Wish for, Starting at Yonghe Temple"

Xuan Su had heard that wishes made at Yonghe Temple were always answered, so she knelt before the Buddha.

I hope I get rich overnight, with enough money to live on without working. It'd be great if I could live in a mansion as lovely as Yonghe Temple, with lots of flowers and plants. Please handle this one urgently, Buddha. I'll offer a few extra sticks of incense when I come back to give thanks.

Not long after she walked out of Yonghe Temple, she tripped on the steps.

When she blacked out and came to, she realized that Yonghe Temple really did work, but the way her wish had been granted was a bit too much!

She'd become one of Fourth Prince Yinzhen's concubines. She wasn't favored, but she really was living at the former site of Yonghe Temple, Prince Yong's Mansion, and she really didn't have to work and received a monthly stipend.

Xuan Su: Damn it, what about getting rich overnight!

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've been bound to the Wish Fulfillment System. You have received an initial mission fund of 1,000 taels of silver. The System will randomly send you the wishes of people around you. Accept a mission and complete it to earn a reward. Complete one hundred missions to have one final wish granted!]

So Xuan Su starts enthusiastically completing missions to get back home.

A sycophantic eunuch has saved enough money and wants to retire early?

Sure. You trip over a rock and break your leg, and suddenly get to spend your days in retirement. It's not that I'm taking revenge on you, honestly! I'm just keeping up Yonghe Temple's tradition!

Concubine Song wants to regain the favor of the household?

Come on, let me design a new look for you.

The Princess Consort doesn't want to pay her respects to Noble Consort De?

The very next day, she comes down with an illness because she forgot to close the window.

What? Fourth Prince, you want to become emperor?

Getting your father out of the way will be a little difficult. Let me think about it!

Yinzhen: Calm down! That's not what I meant!!!

P.S.:

1. This is an alternate Qing Dynasty setting, not a serious historical drama, and isn't historically rigorous. It came from a random idea I had, so it's pure comedy.

2. The female lead is way ahead of her time mentally. Her motto is, if she can't finish the missions and go home, she might as well die.

3. The Fourth Prince likes her, and she gets along well with him, but in the end she won't miss him at all. She'll travel back.

Theme: Stay focused and press on toward your goal
