The Fallen Empress Falls for Her Shadow

Qi Hua, whose previous life had been miserable beyond words, transmigrates to another world. She even gets a bonus: the child she saved just before she died in her previous life has become her younger brother.

Qi Hua points to the heavens and declares, “No problem. With such a smart and handsome little brother, I’ll be the ultimate ‘brocon’!”

But then the problems begin.

What? People in this world are divided into ranks, and conquered subjects are so lowly they don’t even count as people! She was born to her mother, her mother was born to a conquered subject, and apparently the whole conquest thing started with her grandmother.

What? Her family is gone, her country has fallen, and after scamming and scraping together a few taels in this strange world, someone tells her that all those banks and such are hers!

And that’s not all. Some people are begging her to become a princess consort, others want her to be empress, and still others want her to become an empress in her own right...

Qi Hua is furious. Can’t a girl just enjoy being an orphan in peace?

She doesn’t want any of it. She just wants to be with her smart and handsome little brother!

But then one day, her brother vanishes. In his place, a man in white, elegant as if he’d stepped down from the clouds, stays by her side and protects her with a sorrowful, lonely, slender yet enduring presence. He even claims to be the love she has searched for across several lifetimes!

Well, he makes it sound so convincing. Should she believe him?

A different kind of transmigration, a different kind of love, a different kind of ending.
