Tales of Chongde (Qing Dynasty Transmigration)

Chongde was the first era name after Hong Taiji became emperor. Although the protagonist transmigrates to Later Jin, it will become the Qing dynasty two years later, so this counts as a Qing-dynasty time-travel story. Yu Wei and her best friend Tong Chen transmigrated together to Khorchin, next door to Later Jin. They became sisters. The women of Khorchin won the palace intrigues, while the two sisters utterly dominated the household battles. Every day, Yu Wei woke up, brewed tea, and ate all kinds of delicious food with Tong Chen, her sister and sister-in-law, while gossiping about people. In tribal times, marriage customs were based on tribe, not generation or age. The sisters married a grandfather and grandson, a father and son, and a pair of brothers. In levirate marriage, sons and grandsons inherited their stepmothers and young stepmothers, while brothers and uncles inherited their brothers' wives, younger brothers' wives, nieces-in-law, and aunts-in-law... They say that sometimes, before the old man had even passed away, everyone was already looking for their next partner. Before they entered the Central Plains, the Aisin Gioro clan was truly something else. The eldest Beile, Daišan, was rumored to be involved with his stepmother. Which stepmother was it? Was she his own mother-in-law? Did Daišan's son Šoto really have something going on with his stepmother? Yu Wei was getting a little anxious. Which member of the Hada clan got to enjoy a cousin's cooking?!!! How did she get to sneak off and enjoy such a feast? The second Beile, Amin, fought with the Great Khan Hong Taiji over a beauty, and even Joseon heard about it. His younger brother Jirgalang fought Daišan over the great beauty Sutai. Like brothers, like brothers. The fourth Beile... the Great Khan... Hong Taiji was a rugged-looking, sentimental man, the only reliable person in this bizarre family. Everyone knew how much he loved Hailanzhu. Yu Wei, taking a bite: "Gossip, gossip." Tong Chen, taking a bite: "Gossip, gossip." They exchanged a glance. No more needed to be said. Best friends enjoying Qing-dynasty gossip together: crunch, crunch. $$$ This is about a pair of sisters who build things together. The sisters marry into Later Jin in most cases, and their sisterly bond is at the heart of the story. There are basically no female antagonists. Most of the main villains are men, though there will be some minor friction and conflicts of interest between the sisters' group. $$$ The Four Great Beiles are Daišan, Amin, Manggūltai, and Hong Taiji. The Four Little Beiles varied depending on the period. Jirgalang is included here, so Dorgon is the Ninth Beile and Dodo is the Tenth Beile (the Ninth Prince and Tenth Prince). The First Prince is Daišan, and Haoge is the Tiger-Mouth Prince. They are ranked fourteenth and fifteenth, but are the Ninth and Tenth Beiles. Important content warning: $$$ Pay attention to the historical setting, and to who the male lead and second male lead are!!! 1. The female lead transmigrates into the past as a Mongolian woman of relatively high status (like an enhanced version of the deposed Shunzhi empress, and her husband isn't the emperor), so she is willful. Before the Qing entered the Central Plains, centralization was limited and the rules were not strict. This isn't the Qing court of rigid hierarchies people imagine. It's a series of stories about the simple (and poor) old Aisin Gioro family in the Northeast, told for laughs. 2. The female lead's son is a reborn version of Yongzheng. Having lived a whole life, he values relationships and has been brought up in a harmonious atmosphere to become a well-adjusted Yinzhen (to prevent the whole family from being purged).
