[The Secret History of Xiaozhuang Fanfic] Jade Elegance

After a failed marriage, Ning Yu was traveling in England when the stone circle on Salisbury Plain sent her back to the year 1620. She found herself in the body of Xiaoyu'er, the legitimate daughter of a noble family in the Mongolian Abahai tribe.

The sad thing was that this wasn't real history, but an alternate world from The Secret History of Xiaozhuang. Dorgon wasn't the great regent who would one day hold power over the court. Instead, he was an utterly exasperating lovesick fool. And worst of all, she, Xiaoyu'er, was Dorgon's principal wife!

Fine, go ahead and be lovesick if you want. If I hadn't married you, ruining your chances of having an heir for Da Yuer and getting your family stripped of its title and possessions would be your own business. But now that I'm your wife, I'm not about to jump into this pit of "devoting yourself to her, being ignored, and finally hanging yourself from the rafters" to die alongside you. I'm practical and ambitious. I want to live well in this world and enjoy wealth and status. So I'm counting on you. Sorry, Dorgon, I can't indulge your infatuation. I'll have to find a way to set you straight!

If you haven't seen the TV series, look it up yourself...
