The Qing Dynasty Consort who wants to be a Salted Fish

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Su Yi was once a free-spirited cultivator who failed her tribulation and, through a stroke of fate, was transported into a Qing Dynasty novel. She became a cannon fodder female character who was treated as nothing more than a baby-making machine by her sister.

The sister was the protagonist of this Qing Dynasty novel and, with the mindset of keeping the child while discarding the mother, ensured that the cannon fodder gave birth to a child and then died from severe postpartum bleeding.

The protagonist naturally took over the child, becoming the boy’s mother. However, after having her own child, she immediately turned into a wicked stepmother, stirring up trouble.

Su Yi could understand every word, but when they were put together, she found it a bit confusing.

Expecting her to follow the plot was probably a dream. She had been too hardworking before, but now she just wanted to be a salted fish without any ambition. She planned to mooch off the emperor for food and clothing, bask in his imperial aura, and enjoy the beauty of his harem to nurture her body and mind. Life was blissful.

Emperor Kangxi suddenly gained the ability to read minds. Anyone within a meter of him or touching him would have their inner thoughts revealed to him.

He discovered that the women in his harem were all wearing the skin of beauties while harboring malicious and scheming thoughts, which greatly annoyed him.

Among them was an exception – his newly entered fragile and delicate beauty, whose affectionate and gentle gaze made his heart soften considerably. But while she claimed to love him, she was actually eyeing his harem in her heart. Upon closer inspection, he found that she looked just as 深情 (deeply in love) at the beautiful palace maids by his side!

Su Yi justified herself with a straight face: “I’m just distributing my love equally to everyone.”

Kangxi: “What are you talking about ?!”

Hello! This is the translator.

Firstly I would like to express my gratitude for the support to all the readers, and I hope you're liking the story!

This is not a team translation but rather a solo translation from a person who got recently her degree in asian languages and economics! My first language is not English, so I wanna apologize for any misspellings I made in the past or might make in the future.

But let's go back to the main reason why I'm writing this. This is a slow-peaced novel, with... more>> many—and long, chapters.

This is a novel set in the historical Qing Dynasty, where every nobleman had at least one bedchamber concubine, let alone the Emperor.

If you don't like this type of novel, please refrain from reading! Even if the male lead, Kangxi, will fall in love with Su Yi in the future chapters, he will still favor some of his concubines.

Spoiler

There will be spicy scenes in the future, involving Kangxi and Su Yi

Plus,

Spoiler

There will be more Xianxia scenes, with more in-depth content about Su Yi's powers, background and the world of Immortal cultivators

[collapse]

Last but not least, the protagonist is the sister of Empress Xiaozhaoren (the Imperial Noble Consort and original female lead).

In my personal opinion, our protagonist should be a younger sister who historically didn't enter the Imperial Palace—there is a Noble Consort Wenxi, sister of Empress Xiaozhaoren, but she was first mentioned in the 21st year of Kangxi, which means its very unlikely that Noble Consort Wenxi is our Su Yi.

After all, Empress Xiaozhaoren historically had five younger sisters! Thank you again for all the support! ≪3

See ya! X <<less

It's a shame for this novel to have such low ratings as it was an interesting re-imagining of the Kangxi Emperor reign mixed with a bit of Xianxia. The plot and characters were a bit inconsistent but I attribute that to the author not knowing exactly how to stay true to history while incorporating other elements needed to push the plot along.

Anyway, I liked this story of Emperor Kangxi, and Empress Jingxi (who I assume should be Empress Xiaozhaoren) who historically died young and without children.
