[Sage and Daiyu] I Will Marry No One but You

Lin Daiyu saved a monkey, only for it to repay her kindness by insisting on marrying her. It even went all the way to the underworld to find Lin Ruhai, who had long been dead, and make him write the marriage contract.

- Little scene -

"I once read a story from the human world. It had a line that went: 'My beloved is a great hero. One day, he will come to marry me, clad in golden armor and riding on seven-colored clouds.' Have you ever fantasized about that?"

"No."

"Then you can start fantasizing now."

P.S. Sun Wukong x Lin Daiyu, a short story inspired by a plot bunny.

Coming soon: A Qing Dynasty Story: Kangxi's Favorite Consort

Siyu transmigrated into the Qing dynasty harem as a low-ranking palace maid with no title, no official standing, and no favor from the emperor.

What was life like for an unfavored maid in the palace women's quarters?

Four to a room, only two meals a day, plain, oversized clothes, and shifts working alongside the other maids. And at night, Kangxi would sleep with her.

Siyu: This is so awful, just awful! Even modern-day wage slaves don't have it this bad!

In short, for a room of her own, meat at every meal, beautiful clothes, and a life without work, Siyu decided she was going to become the emperor's favorite consort!

Coming soon: The Fourth Prince's Favorite Concubine Just Wants to Take It Easy

Lin Xingyu was born into the body of Lin Ruhai's younger sister. After the selection, she was assigned to serve as a concubine to the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen. But she had no interest in competing for his favor. All she wanted was to take it easy.

So Lin Xingyu settled into a daily routine in the Fourth Prince's residence: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall today, crispy pork knuckle tomorrow, and snow-skin pastries, snowflake crisps, and caramel pudding the day after. Of course, there were plenty of delicious drinks, too. She wore different jewelry every day, and when she was bored, she wrote a story for fun. To her surprise, the noblewomen of the capital rushed to buy it, earning her a hefty sum.

All in all, she was living the good life.

But the Fourth Prince wasn't happy about it.

From then on, Lin Xingyu's leisurely days were gone for good. She had no idea how she had become more and more favored, eventually becoming his sole favorite. Her son even went on to become the next emperor.

How very strange.

Theme: Cherish the people by your side.
