After the palace selection, Ulanara Zhirou was betrothed to the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen. She had long heard that Yinzhen had a favored concubine, Lady Li.
So before marrying into the household, she'd already prepared herself for a marriage of mutual respect and courtesy.
She never expected the Fourth Prince to be so clingy. Every day, he left her unable to get out of bed, and her back ached terribly.
P.S. Alternate history. The male lead has had other partners; the female lead has not.
Serial: The Fourth Prince's Beloved in the Qing Dynasty
Gu Shuangyue transmigrated into the Qing Dynasty as the mistress kept by Yinzhen, the future Yongzheng Emperor.
At first, she was very reluctant.
But later, she figured that being kept outside the household meant she didn't have to serve a man, and someone would protect her. She also came with a portable space and a spirit spring, so this life wasn't entirely unacceptable.
So Gu Shuangyue settled into a daily routine of shopping and eating, and spent her days quite happily.
The only one who wasn't pleased was Yinzhen.
Why should he work himself to the bone while Gu Shuangyue lived so carefree?
So Gu Shuangyue was brought back to the manor, and just like that, her good days were over.
But she didn't want to fight the women in the back courtyard! She had zero skill at palace intrigue!
Yet it turned out she didn't need to fight at all. Yinzhen protected her all the way to the throne of Empress.
Still, being his favorite wasn't easy. She urgently needed some back-protecting pills!
Complete: The Fourth Prince's Consort Quits (Qing Dynasty Transmigration)
After Ulanara Lingxin recovered the memories from before she transmigrated, she discovered that she had become the future Yongzheng Emperor's principal wife. But she was neither Yinzhen's first love nor his later love, just a housekeeper.
She had to face Yinzhen's cold expression every day, working herself to the bone without ever getting to enjoy much of life before she died. This time, she wasn't doing it, no matter what!
Yinzhen felt that his sweet, soft little princess consort had changed. She chatted and laughed with everyone else, but gave him nothing but a cold face.
Seeing the two of them wearing identical cold expressions, the others said they were looking more and more like a married couple. Yinzhen, however, felt that something was off, and his heart grew sour.
Later, Yinzhen heard that his consort was planning to run away. Then he would just have to lock her up.
Lingxin: No, no, no to forced love!
P.S. Alternate history, both leads have no prior partners.
P.S. Alternate history. The domineering, powerful Fourth Prince against a delicate beauty with a soft, yielding body. He begins doting on her exclusively in the middle and later parts.
Coming soon: The Qing Dynasty's Beloved Concubine of Kangxi
Siyu transmigrated into the Qing Dynasty as an unnamed, unfavored chamber maid in Kangxi's harem.
What kind of life did an unfavored chamber maid lead?
She shared a room with three others, ate only two meals a day, wore plain, loose clothes, took turns working shifts with the other maids, and still had to sleep with Kangxi at night.
Siyu: This is so miserable, unbelievably miserable! Even modern-day wage slaves have it better!
Anyway, for a room of her own, meat at every meal, pretty clothes, and a life without work, Siyu decided she was going to become a favored consort!
