May Your Highness Be Well (Qing Dynasty Transmigration)

Please add my next book, Reborn as a Heartless Man, to your reading list. Blurb at the end.

After years of working herself to the bone, Fu Yao finally made it into management.

But on her very first day on the job, she dropped dead at her desk.

After she transmigrated, unlucky Fu Yao had only two words for her new life: Give up!

Her first meeting with the Fourth Prince was not exactly pleasant.

It was their wedding night. The room blazed with light, and Fu Yao saw someone undressing in front of her.

As if possessed, she grabbed his braid and examined it for a long while, then fainted on the spot.

No golden finger, no System. She had transmigrated into the body of Ulanara Fu Yao, the legitimate wife of the Fourth Prince.

Well, at least she was a princess consort. She could live until Yongzheng took the throne, which was still decades away.

The great workaholic Emperor Yongzheng of history was still a spirited young man.

And she didn't have to do anything. She just had to eat, wait, and die.

Becoming empress was practically a sure thing, wasn't it?

The Fourth Prince accompanied the emperor on a campaign against Galdan. While the others abstained from meat, copied scriptures, and embroidered sachets as they prayed for the Fourth Prince's safe return,

Fu Yao smoked a suckling pig in the courtyard and happily gnawed on a pig's trotter.

As the refined young man stood tall with his hands behind his back before setting off, he asked her if she had anything to say.

Fu Yao racked her brains, then lightly patted his shoulder.

Yinzhen: "...?"

After the wedding, the Fourth Prince kept having strange dreams.

He dreamed of brothers turning against each other and fathers and sons becoming estranged. After much painstaking scheming, he ascended the throne, but less than ten years later, the empress died.

And he himself died four years after that.

As the dreams grew clearer, he finally understood they were not dreams.

They were his past life.

After working hard for most of his life, fighting for the throne and ruling diligently, all he had to show for it was a wandering soul and a handful of dirt.

His consort slept soundly beside him. Yinzhen gave a self-mocking smile. It was freezing outside, but he kissed her forehead, rolled up his sleeves, and went back to his study.

There was no such thing as lying flat in the Fourth Prince's life.

Reborn once more, he still intended to become the Son of Heaven.

In the 51st year of Kangxi's reign, a full ten years before Kangxi's historical death and Yongzheng's ascension to the throne,

Fu Yao received an imperial edict conferring a title on her.

???

How did she become the Crown Princess???

*There are changes to the historical setting. There are changes to the historical setting. There are changes to the historical setting.

Next book: Heartless Man

Wei Shiyu and Fu Changge were worlds apart.

She was low-born, a poor girl, while Fu Changge was the legitimate son of a duke's household, a heaven-blessed favorite.

Back then, Shiyu didn't understand. She thought that water could wear through stone.

She pursued Fu Changge, following him every day, tending to him and treating him with gentle affection, thinking she could win his heart that way.

She gathered her courage and confessed her feelings to him, only to get one reply:

"Don't say it."

Shiyu's love blossomed on the day they parted,

and ended the moment they met again.

That year, Fu Changge went to war in his father's place, and Shiyu saw him off at the ten-mile pavilion.

She promised to wait for him, even until the seas ran dry and the rocks crumbled.

But he "died in battle" and never came back.

Fifteen years later, the realm was at peace, and Shiyu reunited with him.

She was a wealthy merchant, and he was a noble lord.

She wore silk and brocade, with maids following behind her.

He wore a luxurious black fox-fur coat, with his fiancee at his side.

Shiyu was reborn fifteen years earlier.

The young man had eyes like stars and unmatched beauty. As he practiced swordplay in a peach grove, peach blossoms fell all over her head.

But this time, Shiyu's heart remained unmoved.

-

Ever since their fleeting encounter in the peach grove, Wei Shiyu had become Fu Changge's nightmare.

In his midnight dreams, a girl would always follow close behind him, chattering incessantly. When he awoke, that same girl would keep him at arm's length.

He wanted her but couldn't have her, bound by every kind of constraint. It felt as if ants were gnawing at his heart, and he was in agony.

He had always been hard-hearted and cold, but now there was one person in the world whom he hated more than anyone: Wei Shiyu.

When he lived his life over again, Fu Changge experienced the feelings Wei Shiyu had once felt, and understood why her eyes had always been fixed on the heavens.

But what could he do?

Only by pursuing her relentlessly and refusing to let go could he find a happy ending.

This time, he was determined to have one.
