Xiuying transmigrates into the body of Guoluo Luoshi, a secondary consort in Kangxi's harem. She's the historical Consort Yi, who gave birth to three sons but was unlucky enough not even to receive the title of Dowager Consort. Xiuying has no intention of accepting the life of a favored consort, glorious in its early years but ending in misery. Just being named a consort isn't enough. She wants to become Empress Dowager, at the very least. Consort Yi never had to suffer much, and Xiuying has even less intention of seeking out hardship for herself. Life is short, so enjoy it while you can. No one is going to get in the way of her rise through the ranks. As long as she educates that blockhead of a son properly, then mother and sons can team up to win the favor of Kangxi, the final boss. A promotion and a raise are just around the corner! But what's going on with Kangxi? Xiuying behaves herself, but he thinks she ought to show a little more temper. When he catches her scolding a young consort who bullied her, she's terrified. Instead, he comes over with a smile, hoists her up, and carries her off to his bedchamber. Afterward, Xiuying ponders it. Could Kangxi like hearing her yell at people? Does he get more excited the more she curses? - Kangxi has a vast harem, and every woman has her own tricks. Yet it's Xiuying, the one who understands him best, who wins the emperor's favor. This little secondary consort is fiery-tempered and sharp-tongued. But after being scolded by this little chili pepper, why does Kangxi feel so refreshed, as if every part of him is at ease? Whenever he feels good and happy, Kangxi promotes the little secondary consort. And so, as he keeps enjoying himself, he eventually raises Guoluo Luoshi to the position of empress. Everyone says that a beating means affection and a scolding means love. Kangxi thinks Guoluo Luoshi wouldn't dare hit him, but after all these years together, and with three sons between them, she's never once told him she loves him. In the middle of the night, Kangxi sits up and starts doubting himself. No, wait. I'm the only one in her heart and eyes, so why can't she love me a little? ● Semi-alternate history, with original settings. Next novel, please add it to your collection ● "I Became a Favorite Consort in Emperor Wu of Han's Harem" Synopsis: After transmigrating into the harem of Emperor Wu of Han as Lady Gouyi, Zhao Yan briefly considers flipping the table and quitting. Historically, Lady Gouyi died at twenty-two, killed after her son was taken from her. She didn't even live long enough to enjoy the title of Empress Dowager. Faced with a situation where death is inevitable, she might as well raise the banner of overthrowing imperialism right now (just kidding). Wait She's only sixteen and has just entered the palace. Being a favored consort as Lady Gouyi is a high-risk job, but it still has plenty of potential. She's still so young. Why can't she keep herself alive under Emperor Wu of Han and become Empress Dowager at twenty-three? But when she turns twenty-three, Emperor Wu of Han is still alive... He's so full of energy. How is she supposed to become Empress Dowager? - The first time Liu Che sees Zhao Yan, he gently strokes her palm and touches a jade-hook-shaped birthmark there. She's also clutching a little jade hook in her palm. That's where Lady Gouyi got her name. It is Liu Che's first dream and the only dream he ever has. He dreams that, a few years later, as he lies dying, he kills Lady Gouyi and makes the young son she bore him crown prince. From this dream that foretells the future, Liu Che sees that when his young son becomes emperor, the government will be unstable, and the boy will be constrained by his ministers, with no heir of his own. How can he accept that? He can't die yet! Looking at his beautiful favored consort, Liu Che gradually softens and can't bring himself to kill her. That leaves him with only one option: pave the way for her and their son. #Lady Gouyi's Growth Story# #The Perfect Imperial Couple in a Parallel World# ★ There is an age gap. ★ Alternate history, with lots of original settings.
