Bound to the Beloved Wife System (Qing Dynasty)

[Blurb] Manluo is a lily of the valley that took human form. Its flowers are shaped like little bells, its fragrance is like that of orchids, and its white blossoms give off a captivating scent. They taste sweet and appear delicate, yet the entire plant is poisonous. Just as her cultivation reached a bottleneck, she was bound to a Wife System. The newly created System had only just come into the world when it encountered Manluo, a stunning beauty who was genuinely poisonous. It saw her looks and hurried to bind her, lest a rival System snatch her away. The beauty, seemingly delicate and pure, gazed at the words “wife” and slowly smiled. She had meant to deal with the gutsy little System, but then she learned of a way to improve her cultivation by harnessing dragon energy. The System could help her transmigrate to different worlds and timelines to complete missions, and she could collect dragon energy along the way. Two birds with one stone. Well, pretending to be a devoted wife counted too, right? [World One]: The newly widowed, pregnant and helpless-looking young Guwalgiya woman × Kangxi, the young emperor who falls for her beauty and gets played (Completed) The daughters of the Guwalgiya family were beset by misfortune. Two young Guwalgiya women lost their husbands in the same year. For a time, the unmarried daughters of the family were saddled with the ominous reputation of being husband-killers. As it happened, the emperor was on tour and staying at the Guwalgiya residence. If they could send one of the newly widowed young Guwalgiya women into his harem, it would both spare the family’s unmarried daughters’ reputations and give the woman a chance to support Consort Yi in the palace as a sister. The original choice was Manluo, whose features were even softer and more enchanting. But when she returned to her family home, she was still carrying her late husband’s child. Deeply devoted to her former husband, Manluo was determined to keep the baby. Even if she were forced to miscarry, she would need time to recover. So they had to choose the other newly widowed young Guwalgiya woman instead. She was also a lovely beauty, but paled in comparison to Manluo. The young emperor knew exactly what the Guwalgiya family was up to by offering him a beauty. He had planned to grant them a favor and go along with it, bringing her back to the palace and giving her a rank. But the one who caught his eye was the other young Guwalgiya woman. The emperor fell in love at first sight and wanted to take her back to the palace, but the delicate beauty was still carrying a child and pining for her late husband. [World Two]: The Guarjia girl, a beauty as lovely as a flower × The darkened Crown Prince who has had a prophetic dream (Completed) After being reborn, Crown Princess Guarjia no longer wanted to be Crown Princess. In the end, she would be left with nothing but the title of deposed Crown Princess. Even if she could not marry the Crown Prince, no other prince would be able to take her as his wife. Only by winning the supreme emperor’s favor could she escape the fate of becoming a deposed Crown Princess. With careful planning, she protected her grandfather and father and entered the emperor’s harem as she wished. Her flowerlike younger sister Manluo became the substitute Crown Princess, a convenient cover for a father stealing his son’s wife. Married to the Crown Prince, who had seen the future in a dream, the young Crown Princess was so pampered and delicate that the half-darkened prince had no time left for brooding. To protect his darling Crown Princess from hardship and mistreatment in the future, he had no choice. He could make life difficult for the Emperor instead. [World Three]: The troublesome, coquettish cousin from the Uya clan × Prince Yong, who cannot escape the irresistible charm of falling in love (Completed) Consort De Uya looked down on Ula Nara not only because she had chosen that woman, but also because of the mess she had made of the Fourth Prince’s household. When a beauty appeared in her maternal family, Consort De hit upon the idea of matchmaking. Manluo acted obedient in front of Consort De, but the moment she was alone with Prince Yong, she changed her tune. She wanted to find a live-in husband she could keep under her thumb, and she also wanted Prince Yong to play the bad guy who turned her down, so she could keep her own hands clean. The obedient little cousin had transformed into a troublesome, spoiled one. Yet because they were relatives, Prince Yong could not deal with her as casually as he would with anyone else. The troublesome cousin was not at all intimidated by his icy expression. She kept testing the nerves of the old-fashioned Prince Yong, who went from resisting her to finding her irresistible. Poor Prince Yong was maneuvered into becoming a man who loved Manluo. [World Four]: The frail, sickly and sweet-tongued young Borjigit woman × The Shunzhi Emperor, who says one thing but means another and gets hooked (Completed) The Shunzhi Emperor had a terrible experience with his first marriage and stubbornly defied his mother to depose the empress. Even so, his second empress still had to come from the Borjigit clan. The young empress who married into the palace was frail and sickly, but truly beautiful, a different kind of beauty from her elder sister, Monggo. The Shunzhi Emperor could hardly help taking his anger out on the young empress. On their wedding night, before he had even lifted her veil, he left her alone. The young empress promptly crumpled to the floor beneath it. Their wedding night turned into a medical visit. That saved the emperor the trouble of getting upset, and he had meant to leave right away. But the little beauty, fragile with illness and eyes brimming with tears, caught his sleeve and begged him to stay. The Shunzhi Emperor had not wanted to indulge her, but somehow those little tears bewitched him into staying. ...

She is a self-serving perfectionist with immersive acting skills, and will stop at nothing when necessary. Everything is a ploy. * Once the heroine appears, she is the only one who receives favor. A beauty like her deserves to be the sole favorite. * The System's role is simply to take the heroine through time and space. Its missions happen to align with her aims, so she completes them along the way. The newly created System cannot keep the heroine in check.

A darling girl as cute as her deserves to be the sole favorite. * The System is just background scenery and doesn’t have much of a presence. * There’s a slight hitch at the start: her identity isn’t set up properly, so she spends a while being raised in the form of a calico cat. * She isn’t a well-behaved cat pretending to be good for life. She’s a wicked little cat who puts her own interests first. Theme: Love yourself before loving others, and put yourself first
