A Qing Dynasty Concubine Who Commands Respect

Nan Yi, a modern-day female bodyguard, failed a mission and traveled back three hundred years to the Great Qing Dynasty. There, she became a concubine of the fourth imperial prince and unexpectedly formed bonds with the eighth and ninth princes. Unwilling to spend her life confined to the inner quarters, she tried to escape again and again, but every attempt failed. Through each clash and each reluctant parting, her heart was ultimately bound to him, or perhaps to them. Primary Consort Nara: “Every one of them is a little minx. I'll deal with them one by one.” Secondary Consort Li: “I have the most sons, so my position is secure. Even as a secondary consort, who do I have to fear?” Secondary Consort Nian: “Tong Yilan, you'll never beat me. He'll always favor me most.” Nan Yi: “I want to roam the martial world and uphold justice... What, I can't? Then I'll retire from the martial world and live in the mountains. Surely that's allowed?” Yinzhen: “Quit running around. You can only stay put in the inner quarters.” (Contains plenty of potentially upsetting tropes. Read with caution.)
