◆ A transmigrated beauty x A patriarchal old fogey ◆
Xie Wangye inherited a small kingdom from his father. He spent his life fighting for it, conquering other nations, bringing peace to the land, unifying the realm, and ultimately ushering in a glorious age of peace and prosperity.
But before he could fully enjoy that golden age, Xie Wangye woke up one morning to find that he had... become his own ancestor.
Duke Jingheng, the fifth-generation descendant of Grand Duke Jing, was a tyrant who imposed harsh taxes and loved the bewitchingly beautiful Xia Ji. For her, he emptied the harem, neglected the state, and executed loyal officials, plunging the already failing Kingdom of Jing into yet another crisis.
In the summer of the fifteenth year of the Jianqing reign, the Kingdom of Yi breached Jing's capital. Duke Jingheng fled with his favored consort Xia Ji and his eldest son. The eldest son died on the road.
Listening to the clamor of weapons outside, Xie Wangye suddenly realized that he had arrived in the summer of the fifteenth year of the Jianqing reign.
Well, the Kingdom of Jing was in the middle of the catastrophe that had nearly brought it to ruin.
There was a boy nearby crying like a piglet. He was probably the crown prince. Xie Wangye grabbed him with one hand, intending to gather his subordinates and retreat until the danger had passed.
The favored consort? Hah. Women would only get in the way of his ambitions. And Xia Ji was a calamity who had brought ruin upon the country. She deserved to die a thousand deaths. If he ran into her, he'd cut her into eight pieces to appease the people.
She was lucky he hadn't found her. Let her fend for herself!
But before he'd even left the palace, Xie Wangye shuddered.
Wait, his branch of the family didn't descend from the eldest son. His great-great... grandfather was the second son of Duke Jingheng and Xia Ji.
The eldest son was already here, but the second son hadn't been born yet.
If the favored consort died, then he, his father, his grandfather, and everyone else in his line would never be born.
Xie Wangye: "..."

After dying suddenly while on duty, surgeon Xia Fu discovered that she had arrived in an unfamiliar dynasty.
The palace was magnificent, jewels and precious stones were everywhere, and the maids called her Madam and treated her with the utmost respect.
The good news: She seemed to have transmigrated into the life of an upper-class noblewoman who wouldn't have to suffer.
The bad news: The army was about to attack the city in fifteen minutes, and the kingdom seemed doomed.
Before Xia Fu could decide where to escape, someone kicked open her palace doors. A furious-looking man strode in, scooped her up, and ran.
Xia Fu: "?"
#Hah, everything is just for the sake of my past self#
#Uh-oh, the secret signals don't match. It seems he's not a fellow transmigrator#
#The king and queen are still acting weird today#
#The king keeps asking me how he used to win the queen's heart#
