What! The Down-and-Out Prince Is Actually a Scheming Villain

My new novel, Raising Kids in the 1980s, is out! Please add it to your library and vote for it! After transmigrating, she finds herself a famous princess consort in the Great Qing Dynasty, not for her power, but for her poverty. Her husband is the only prince of a different surname in the court. Framed because his achievements outshone the emperor’s, he has been exiled to the frontier. As his only princess consort, she naturally shares his hardships and stands by him through thick and thin. When Ye Li first wakes up, she thinks she’s been kidnapped and sold as a bride in some poor mountain village. Her first instinct is to run. But after going out and taking a look around, she realizes things aren’t what she thought. She’s actually joined the great throng of transmigrators. What kind of incredible luck is this?! Looking at the house, bare as a beggar’s cupboard, Ye Li decides she’d be better off ditching her impoverished husband. But it turns out the two of them are in the same boat, with no choice but to sink or swim together. With no other option, she settles down and gets to work. To make sure they have enough to eat and wear, she fishes in the river and clears land for farming in summer, then chops wood and digs traps to hunt in winter. Meanwhile, her penniless husband watches coldly and mocks her nonstop. Hmph! Who does he think he is? If he’s so high and mighty, he can stop eating! It’d serve him right to starve. But one day, when someone covets her food and tries to take it for themselves, her impoverished husband steps in to protect the provisions and save her. Just when she thinks this is how she’ll spend the rest of her life, she accidentally discovers that her down-and-out husband is a scheming scoundrel who’s plotting a rebellion. Get lost! If you want to die, go ahead, but don’t drag me down with you. Before you leave, give me the divorce papers. The down-and-out prince asks, “You want divorce papers?” “In your dreams!”
