The Imperial Noble Consort's Daily Life Raising Kids (Qing Dynasty)

Tong Lanshu transmigrates to the Qing dynasty and becomes Kangxi's cousin and imperial consort.

At the time, Noble Lady De, Kangxi's favorite, has only recently given birth to a prince. Since palace rules forbid women below the rank of consort from raising princes, Kangxi plans to find a noble foster mother for his fourth prince.

Tong Lanshu, born to a powerful family, of noble status, young, and unable to bear children, is the perfect choice.

As the emperor's maternal family, the Tong clan wields enormous power. The family does not want Tong Lanshu to raise a prince whose birth mother has such a low rank, but they have no choice but to obey the emperor's command.

Having transmigrated and become a mother without the pain of childbirth, Tong Lanshu quickly starts thinking things over.

Her original identity is noble, and her adopted son is the future emperor. He is only a little boy, which might be tricky, but seven or eight matrons serve him in the palace, so she won't have to care for him herself. She hardly needs to hesitate before accepting.

Tong Lanshu doesn't really like children and has no particular maternal instinct. She can't imagine how to be a child's mother. At first, she only plans to raise him well so she won't offend the future emperor and be punished when he takes power.

But at some point, her attitude quietly changes. The little boy's cautious affection means a great deal to her, and she finds herself wanting to treat him better and better...

By the time Tong Lanshu comes to her senses, Yinzhen has already taken an important place in her heart. The image of the cold, merciless emperor in the history books gradually fades, and in Tong Lanshu's eyes, Yinzhen is just a mischievous child who likes to act cute.

Behind the palace walls, Yinzhen gives her endless comfort and fulfillment.

Royal children mature early. Since childhood, Yinzhen has known that he is different from his brothers. He has two mothers, but he hasn't received twice the love. His foster mother is noble and aloof, while his birth mother is indifferent and distant. Though he has fine clothes and good food, he feels like a guest in someone else's home.

Just when Yinzhen thinks things will always be this way, they take a turn for the better.

His foster mother's nature changes somehow. Her eyes are still cool, but now he can see himself in them. She cares whether he's eaten enough and dressed warmly, pays attention to his small feelings, notices his moods, teaches him how to conduct himself, and unhesitatingly protects him in front of everyone.

She did not give birth to him, but little by little, she becomes his mother.

New novel now available: The Fifth Prince's Consort's Lie-Fat Daily Life (Qing Dynasty)

Blurb:

Before becoming Yinyun Tatar's legitimate wife, the Fifth Prince's Consort, Shen Yunhuan was an office drone at a major corporation, a lowly workhorse who opened her eyes every morning just to reply, "Received."

She had thought transmigrating into the body of a wealthy young lady would let her lie flat, but one imperial marriage decree made her realize that her future might also involve settling conflicts among concubines, raising stepchildren, managing the household, and dealing with a whole string of other headaches...

Shen Yunhuan: "..."

Isn't working just being a workhorse wherever you go? Besides, she can be a senior workhorse in the future. Even if the household has concubines and their children, she'll be a manager.

Shen Yunhuan decides to treat being someone's wife as a job and diligently lists the perks: the boss is rich, easygoing, and good-tempered; there's no risk of being fired; and she can slack off on the clock.

She won't have to handle any risky projects herself. (Historically, the Tatar clan had no children.)

Most importantly, the Fifth Prince does not take part in the succession struggle among the nine princes and lives a peaceful life until old age. Shen Yunhuan is very satisfied with this.

Yinqi has always thought his consort is a quiet, wooden girl.

The Empress Dowager tells him that his consort had an unhappy home life and warns him not to bully her. Even if he isn't satisfied with her, he mustn't mistreat his wife. Yinqi has always followed his grandmother's advice.

Though his wife rarely manages to say three words to him in a day, and they never seem to see eye to eye, her mild nature and lack of sharp edges don't particularly appeal to him. Still, he has never developed a grudge against her.

That is, until the day Yinqi sees his gentle, refined consort pinning down the Third Prince's Consort, who is famous among the imperial clan for her fiery temper. For the first time, he realizes he might have misjudged her.

Pre-release: The Fourth Prince's Consort

Wulanara Jinyi regains the memories of her previous life on her wedding night.

It turns out she isn't a Qing native. She is Su Jinyi, an orphan from the 21st century, who died in a car accident and came to the Qing dynasty by a twist of fate.

Su Jinyi was an orphan in her previous life, but in this life she has loving parents, a close friend she can tell anything to, and a childhood sweetheart for a husband. She is quite content.

The only imperfection is that her husband will have many women in the future, and in middle age, a true love will appear.

The thought of a life whose course is already so clear leaves Su Jinyi at a loss. What makes her feel even sadder is that her memories of the 21st century are so distant that she doesn't find the future life of a polygamous wife all that difficult to accept.

With the attitude of making the best of things, Su Jinyi begins the process of coming to terms with herself.

But this Qing dynasty seems different from the one she remembers.

Her foster mother, who should have died young, is not only alive but has also been empress for many years.

She even gets along well with her mother-in-law.

Her mother-in-law and husband are close, and she doesn't dislike him as the unofficial histories claim.

Her husband's younger brothers and sisters also treat him with great respect.

The biggest contenders for the throne are all brother-obsessed...

What surprises her most is the Fourth Prince. This prince, who should be surrounded by wives and concubines, rejects his secondary consorts and concubines. At home, whenever he has free time, he personally takes care of the children.

Su Jinyi is most worried that her son Honghui will die young, so she is very careful about raising him. Who knew that her foster mother would worry even more than she does?

Su Jinyi: Did I transmigrate to a parallel universe?

Extra Scene:

Because of her memories from her previous life and her knowledge of history, Su Jinyi always holds back when it comes to Yinzhen. But Yinzhen never tires of telling her how he feels, over and over.

Yinzhen doesn't know why his childhood sweetheart changed one day. He's confused, but that's all right. His mother taught him to repay sincerity with sincerity.

One day, Jinyi will believe that he loves her.

Reader's Note:

The male and female leads are a one-on-one couple. This is a follow-up to the Imperial Noble Consort story, about what happens after Yinzhen grows up. Since Shushu's changes alter history, the characters' paths change as well.

It's another story about raising children! The children being raised are Yinzhen and Yinzhuo's!

Theme: Love given is love returned.
