The Noble Consort’s Glamorous Daily Life

[Complete. If you like this kind of story, add A Little Palace Maid’s Rise to Power to your favorites.]

Consort Shen was beautiful, but truly foolish.

That was the consensus among the people of the harem.

In the sixth year of Hanyu, the Emperor traveled south of the Yangtze. No one expected him to bring a new girl into the palace.

Shen Shiyuan hadn’t expected it either.

She had only been a Yangzhou courtesan, sent to the prefect of Wuzhou as a favor.

She had been the prefect’s concubine for just a month. Before she could show what she was capable of, he gave her away to someone else.

All that immense wealth was gone, and Shen Shiyuan was miserable for a whole day.

Then she heard who the man was.

Suddenly, Shen Shiyuan thought the prefect was a very good person.

Qi Chuyan knew Shen Shiyuan was stupid, but he hadn’t expected her to be this stupid.

Her attempts to win favor or harm others were so crude that they were practically out in the open.

And yet she was the one he had personally brought back to the palace.

It seemed he had found himself a nuisance.

But he had no choice but to look after her.

He couldn’t just let the harem tear her apart, after all.

PS: Harem intrigue, neither lead is a virgin.

PPS: The heroine isn’t a good person. She only wants to win favor and enjoy wealth and status. This is a classic harem-intrigue story. If that’s not your thing, please steer clear.

Blurb:

At twelve, Li Fei was bought and brought into the palace to work as a low-ranking maid.

From a low-ranking maid to the Wardrobe Bureau, from being chosen by a noblewoman to attend her, to being demoted to the Laundry Bureau because her mistress took her anger out on her.

Her fortunes and misfortunes were all at the mercy of those above her.

Everyone told her that she was born lowly and should accept her fate.

But Li Fei refused to accept it.

Xiao Xingjian first noticed Li Fei when a concubine used her to make an example of someone. Palace maids held her down by the head, forcing her up and down in the lake until she was a pitiful, wretched sight.

He caught a glimpse of the ambition in her eyes and felt a spark of interest.

Suddenly, he wanted to know:

How far could that ambition carry her?

Xiao Xingjian never imagined that a passing whim would leave his gaze fixed on her for decades to come.

PS: Harem intrigue, male lead is not a virgin.

PPS: The heroine is fiercely ambitious and definitely not a sweet, virtuous heroine. This is a classic harem-intrigue story. If that’s not your thing, please don’t read.

Theme: We must live for ourselves.
