A Qing-Dynasty Transmigration: A Fangirl in the Imperial Harem

When Meng Mengren, a die-hard fan girl, transmigrated into the Qing Dynasty and realized she had no way back, she looked at the crowded dormitory with eight people to a room and the plain, watery meals, rubbing her hands together eagerly. All right, all right. You people forced me to work hard.

Meng Mengren took stock of her skills and decided to do something big for the Fourth Lord.

And so:

"What? You say the Beile is neglecting his duties? That's bull. Do you know he kept studying in his study even after running a high fever for three days straight? Do you know he attended the morning court session to discuss state affairs while sick? Do you know he goes to bed at the hour of the Ox and gets up at the hour of the Tiger, sleeping only one shichen a day? Why can't any of you see how hard the Beile works, or how much he sacrifices?"

"What? You say the Beile can only draw a bow with a strength of three and a half? What do you know? You have no idea how much effort the Beile has put into horseback archery. You have no idea that he has already used up every last bit of his strength. All you can do is mock him, without seeing how hard he's worked behind the scenes. I'm so disappointed in you. I'm so disappointed in a world that only cares about appearances. You've all let the Beile down!!"

"Mother, you've misunderstood the Beile. Ever since you started favoring the Fourteenth Prince, the Beile has gradually stopped smiling. There's no light in his eyes anymore. Do you know what he's been through all this time? Maybe the Beile isn't the one at fault. Maybe this whole world is to blame!!!"

"What? You say the Beile is cruel and cunning, and that his pursuit of unpaid debts has forced people to sell off their belongings in the street? Do you have proof? Were you there? Fine, even if that's true, putting the facts aside, why can't you reflect on yourself? Why did the Beile go after you for the money instead of someone else? Surely you must have done something to bring this on yourself!"

Don't worry, Beile!!

Meng Mengren stepped in front of Yin Zhen to shield him, swearing that even if the whole world turned against the Beile, she would protect him to the end and never back down!!!

As for getting caught up in the inner-court power struggle, Meng Mengren gave a dry laugh. "What makes you say I plotted to cause Li Gege's miscarriage? Do you have a timeline? Do you have irrefutable evidence? Do you know where I was at every moment? That maid's testimony won't do you much good. Didn't she switch sides and join you three months ago? Even the hairpin on her head is the same style as the one worn by your maid three months ago. Pah, you think I wouldn't recognize it?

Someone bring in the projector (scratch that), bring in a big sheet of paper. I want to show them what a fan girl's timeline-and-evidence essay looks like.

[Things get pretty unhinged. If anything doesn't make sense, it's all my fault.]
