Overachiever Shen Wei traveled through time and found herself as the lowest-ranking maid in the grand residence of the Yan Prince.

The Yan Prince held a prestigious position, but his consorts were all content to live dull lives. The noble-born princess consort was as tranquil as a chrysanthemum; the concubine sought a life of monogamy; the reincarnated woman was utterly disillusioned with the Yan Prince and had given up on striving for anything; and the other timid concubines dared not make a move...

The queen of workplace competition, Shen Wei, declared: Don't stop me! I'm going to outwork these unambitious slackers!

...

The Yan Prince had grown accustomed to the stagnant atmosphere in his harem, until a particularly skilled courtesan appeared.

This concubine was stunningly beautiful, adept at both literature and dance, hardworking, and always brought him fresh excitement. The Prince couldn't help but take a second, then a lifetime-long, look at her.

Years later, Shen Wei became the all-powerful Imperial Noble Consort, with children and the emperor's exclusive favor.

Meanwhile, the princess consort remained as tranquil as ever; the concubine was aging and had yet to experience a monogamous life; and the reincarnated woman was still eating simple meals in her modest abode...

After half a lifetime of striving, Shen Wei finally reached retirement and revealed her true nature, fully embracing a life of leisure. The retired emperor interjected: "You competed for favor just to retire?"

Shen Wei snacked on melon seeds: "What else?"

Living is all about retirement!

The retired emperor was even more surprised to find, in midlife, that other men were vying for his wife's affections! <<less

Before her death, Qun Qing hated the powerful official Lu Hua Ting the most. She hated him for assisting the new emperor and for being cunning and insidious. She thought about him day and night, and tried her best to defeat him, but she was not his match. In the end, she became a cannon fodder in his hands.... more>>

After Qun Qing died, she saw the princess of the fallen country that she had protected with her life, crying and leaning on the new emperor's chest: "Qing Qing is dead, what should I do?"

The new emperor kissed her: "You will be fine, just love me."

The princess burst into tears, like a delicate flower under the rain: "Qing Qing is dead, Your Majesty is all I have left."

When she opened his eyes, Qun Qing had woke up three years ago. She stood up, woodenly packed her bags, and regardless of the princess's obstruction, took off her jade crown and walked away, dropped her female official's wooden seal, turned around and left, leaving behind ten years of careful planning and treading on thin ice.

Restore the country? Restore shit.

*

The powerful official Lu Hua Ting, with deep scheming and brutal means, was invincible among the struggles of power. He was tired of seeing the ugliness of human hearts and lived a boring life.

Looking back on his life, the only thing that left a little impression on him was the mu*der of a spy female official by poisoning when he was 26 years old.

For the love of the princess, she sacrificed his life for the country and schemed against him several times. In the end, she knelt in front of the Summer Palace, her facial expression remaining unchanged, with a look of resentment in her eyes, and sighed with a smile, "The winner becomes king, and the loser turns out a thief", and raised her head to drink it all. Blood gushed out of her mouth, in a thin layer of bright red.

Opening his eyes, Lu Hua Ting returned to the age of 23.

Lu Hua Ting looked at the documents under his command, and felt even more bored. He put down his brush and leaned on the back of the chair: "Where is the female official accompanying Crown Princess?"

"... She resigned. She asked me to tell My lord that she would not fight anymore."

Lu Hua Ting was silent for a while, and curled his lips coldly: "She said she won't fight, so the fight is over?" <<less

Reborn as Fang He, a palace maid who boiled water in the tea room of the Qianqing Palace.

After nearly four months of brutal war, the mighty empire of Cheongwolmok, led by Grand King Yoongeon, succeeds in conquering the Western Kingdom of Seoro. ... more>>

Though the nation now lies at his feet, Yoon Geon, instead of executing its foreign king, Seo Hwi, locks him away in the royal harem — solely for the fact that Seo Hwi dared to hold out against him for so long.

A year passes.

The Grand King, who had all but forgotten Seo Hwi’s existence, suddenly remembers — and decides to humiliate him.

“You’ve been living here for quite some time now, and yet, as your ‘husband,’ I haven’t even properly consummated our union.”

Seo Hwi only laughed — openly, mockingly.

“You want me to spread my legs? Go on, then. Try it—if you can.” <<less

Consort Yi, who was breathtakingly beautiful and the most doted on in the imperial harem, had a nightmare about the future. ... more>>

The crown prince was deposed. The fourth prince ascended the throne. Her sworn enemy, Consort De, became the empress dowager. Her son, the fifth prince, was not allowed to have an important position. The ninth prince died while he was imprisoned. The eleventh prince died of an illness during infancy. Although Kangxi spoiled her with sweet words of love, he took in many women in his later years and cast her aside.

Kangxi urged the new emperor that if Consort Yi was domineering and disrespectful after he passed away, then the new emperor did not need to take his feelings into consideration.

In the end, she died in desolation.

After awaking from her dream –

Consort Yi: We are not going to bother.

Whoever wants to be the favoured consort can go ahead and be the favoured consort!

The emperor didn’t say anything, but knew deep down that out of all those in the imperial harem, only Consort Yi had his heart.

She was beautiful, considerate, thoughtful, and knew how to handle various situations. Once in a while, she had a bit of a temper.

But suddenly, one day, Consort Yi went on strike. In order to refuse his favour, she did everything she possibly could.

Yun Xiu: I am jealous and malicious…

Kangxi: ??? <<less

“Sure,” she replied. She’ll just do C, then! No biggie.

“If I tell you to go east, you can’t ignore me and go west,” the Prince added.

“Yes,” she nodded. If she can’t go west, north or south works fine too.

“You are NOT allowed to have an affair with other men!” the Prince emphasized.

“Naturally,” she said. Why would she have an affair with others when they could just have it with her?

Qu Tan’er has transmigrated into the body of a noble young lady and forced to marry the ice-cold 8th prince. Her only care in this world is finding a way to get back to her original world, and dealing with all the politics and intrigue surrounding the marriage is just a distraction.

Qu Dubian, a former celebrity who rose to fame through calculated "green tea" acting and fan voting in his past life, transmigrates into the body of a young prince in the Great Zhou Dynasty whose mother died early.... more>>

Not only does he have just 3 days left to live, but he's also bound to a [Disease Simulator] to extend his life.

There are three ways to increase lifespan:

1. Daily martial arts practice check-in, adding one day of life.

2. Experience diseases, write papers for the system, help the system archive and upgrade, adding three months of life.

3. Make friends, increase their favorability to 60, adding one year of life.

Qu Dubian understands one thing deeply: to gain favorability, helping in times of need is better than adding flowers to a brocade.

A small eunuch about to freeze to death? Save him!

The cheap emperor father, the neglected young master of the Minister's family, the bored imperial concubines in the harem, the only son of a marquis family, hostages from enemy countries...

Qu Dubian transforms into a filial(?) son/best friend/chat companion/playmate/soulmate, and the slowly increasing lifespan value makes him incredibly gratified.

The [Disease Simulator] is also a divine tool for avoiding the terrifying waves of succession struggles!

To exit the imperial power struggle, Qu Dubian stages a battlefield "accident," rescues his exiled elder sister (a royal princess) who was married, and fakes total disability—blindness and crippled martial prowess.

From now on, he can comfortably rest on these military achievements that can protect him for a lifetime, living peacefully.

This move is super profitable!

However—

The Eastern Depot's Chief gives a sinister look: "This one's life was saved by the young prince. Investigate for me, who exactly made a move on the battlefield!"

The newly crowned top scholar looks sickly: "I've schemed all my life, only for a wise ruler. If the wise ruler is in darkness, I'm unwilling to take office."

The young marquis, now the Northern Garrison General: "Imperial power has crushed to this extent, why does Your Highness still harbor kind thoughts?"

The adoptive mother who never cared about worldly affairs: "My son has suffered such a calamity, if this palace still turns a blind eye, how can I be called a mother?!"

The imperial concubines gather in Cining Palace, their resentful red-rimmed eyes leaving the emperor speechless.

In an instant, the princes are all on edge, schemes are churning in the capital, and people's hearts are in turmoil.

Qu Dubian, who only wants to live peacefully: "..."

Help, save me!!

[Traditional palace struggle novel] ... more>>

In the fifth year of the Cheng'an era, a grand selection was held throughout the country.

Shen Ji was one of the most outstanding candidates from the Lingzhou region, known for her exceptional beauty. Her features were delicate, and her skin was as fair as jade. Her eyes were especially striking, with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye that made her look captivating.

She had a gentle and charming personality, which made people want to pamper her. After gaining favor, she spent three consecutive nights with the Emperor and was quickly promoted from a lowly cairen to the prestigious Baolin, becoming the most favored concubine in the palace.

When Lin Guifei pretended to be ill to gain attention, Shen Ji covered up the coldness in her eyes and leaned against the Emperor's knee, looking up at him with tears in her eyes: "Will you come back to me, Your Majesty?"

Qin Yuan's heart softened, and he, who was normally taciturn, rolled his throat and changed his mind: "Yes, Zhen won't leave."

Shen Ji was born into a humble family and had seen many men in her life. She knew what she wanted: the Emperor's favor, wealth, and prestige. She wanted to change her fate and rise from a lowly status to the top of the imperial hierarchy.

Everyone in the palace said that Shen Ji's favor was due to her good fortune, but only she knew that her journey from a commoner to a imperial concubine was a precarious one, like walking on thin ice.

Qin Yuan was a ruthless and heartless emperor who had never put any woman in his heart, always doing as he pleased. He initially favored Shen Ji because she was obedient and beautiful, and being around her made him feel at ease.

However, he couldn't explain why his gaze always seemed to linger on her subconsciously.

Is human nature inherently evil? Or is it inherently good?

The sandalwood canopy bed, carved with flowers and painted with birds, exuded an understated luxury that did little to soothe the turmoil within Lin Lang.

One moment, she was a woman betrayed, dying in a world that had chewed her up and spat her out. The next, she was Mingzhu, a Borjigit noblewoman destined for the Emperor's Harem, a gilded cage where beauty was currency and ambition, a dangerous game. But Lin Lang was no Mingzhu, no starry-eyed girl dreaming of the Emperor's love.

She knew the game, the players, and the tragic end that awaited her predecessor. Armed with the memories of a life wasted on selfless devotion, Lin Lang vowed to seize control of her fate.

Shen Zhinian and her Dijie, Shen Nanqiao, both regressed.

In their past lives, Shen Zhinian was arranged by her father to marry his impoverished student, while Dijie was selected for imperial selection. Before even sharing the Emperor’s bed, she was granted the title of Guiren. The world believed that Dijie’s status was beyond compare, while her’s was utterly insignificant.

Yet who would have thought—years later, the impoverished scholar Shen Zhinian had married would achieve top honors in three consecutive imperial examinations, rise to the rank of Marquis, and be appointed as Prime Minister. She, in turn, became the youngest First-Rank titled Lady in the empire. Meanwhile, her Dijie, who had failed to gain the Emperor’s favor, spent half a lifetime struggling in the deep palace, only to meet a tragic end after being framed.

When Shen Zhinian opened her eyes once more, she found herself regressed to the moment before her betrothal. Her Dijie was eagerly vying for the chance to marry the impoverished scholar, intending to send her into the imperial selection instead. She couldn’t be more pleased.

That scholar, while talented, was arrogantly ambitious. Moreover, his household was far from welcoming—he had a harsh mother and a difficult younger sister. In their past life, the only reason he had a smooth ascent in his official career was due to her tireless efforts, painstakingly clearing the path for him.

But in this life, all the glory and prestige her Dijie coveted would never come to pass.

Besides, His Majesty was not only young and handsome, but the Empress' seat remained vacant. Every maiden selected to enter the palace had a chance to compete for that position.

Shen Zhinian had understood since childhood that men were unreliable. She never sought true affection—only wealth and glory.

After all, how could a First-Rank titled Lady ever compare to the Mother of the Nation? In this life, she would be the one to claim unparalleled wealth and honor!

However, Shen Zhinian gradually discovered that the imperial harem harbored not only a transmigrated woman but also a raider equipped with a system.

No matter—off with their heads, and that will do!

Even so, could someone tell her why His Majesty’s gaze upon her was growing increasingly... strange? <<less

Gu Xi was switched three times in her life.... more>>

The first time was when she was born. Gu Xi was switched with the daughter of a merchant family and stayed in Suzhou for fifteen years.

The second time was when she was taken back to the capital. Her father didn't care, her grandmother didn't love her, and everyone in the capital disliked her. One day, the Empress Dowager wanted to hold a banquet to select wives for the royal family members. Because her sister had a lover, she secretly switched herself with Gu Xi to enter the palace.

The Empress Dowager: "Xixi, you really look like ai jia's daughter who died early. You are as bright as a flower and can even be called the most beautiful woman in our capital." From then on, Gu Xi had another backer.

The third time she was switched was at a palace banquet. She was inexplicably drugged and then taken away by a man by mistake.

Afterwards, Gu Xi ran away quickly with her clothes under her arm. This time she didn't want to know who the man was. She would never admit it, and she didn't want any big backers anymore!

The Emperor smoked a cigarette afterwards: Who slept with zhen and ran away? Find out for zhen!

The Emperor, who had been single for more than 20 years, was forced by the Empress Dowager and the civil and military officials of the court to see noble ladies at the banquet. In the end, he accidentally brought back a beautiful woman. <<less

Later, Song Yunzhao looked at the Emperor, who was smiling at her indulgently, and said, “Zhao Zhao, come here.” Song Yunzhao felt that the turn of events was far from good, and her feet went cold.

An Jiu transmigrated into a little palace maid in the emperor’s palace who wanted to climb onto the dragon bed.... more>>

As soon as she opened her eyes, the tyrant stabbed the little palace maid trying to seduce him straight through the heart with a sword.

The next day, the tyrant stabbed the chief palace maid beside a concubine to death.

On the third day, the palace maid who tasted food for the emperor died from poisoning.

Being a palace maid was a high-risk job, so An Jiu decided to work hard, save a lot of money, cherish her life, and stay far away from the tyrant.

But at this moment, she suddenly heard the tyrant’s inner thoughts.

"Ahhh, so annoying, so annoying, so annoying, are these memorials written like dog sh*t? Didn't I already say no peaches, no peaches, no peaches, yet they keep asking, keep asking, keep asking every day."

An Jiu?

"Is the new palace maid an idiot? Standing there like a lampstand? Can't she see my neck is sore and not come over to give me a massage?"

An Jiu moved her feet and tentatively massaged the emperor’s shoulders...

"The desserts from the Imperial Kitchen are choking me to death, has Eunuch Li gone blind, doesn’t even know to pour me a cup of water..."

An Jiu moved over and poured a cup of tea...

Gradually, the palace maids and eunuchs in Guanghua Hall discovered that the tyrant’s temper seemed to have improved a lot...

The concubines in the harem wept with joy. His Majesty’s madness is cured. Does that mean he can now take them to bed...

"Am I a breeding horse? Making me flip nameplates every day. This is a human waist, not a pig kidney... Speaking of kidneys, now I suddenly feel like eating stir-fried kidneys..."

Thus the green nameplate was removed, and a plate of delicious kidneys was served.

Everyone said that she was born with Phoenix Jade* in her mouth— destined for greatness from the very start.

But then, a woman from the modern era arrived and transformed Shen Guiyan’s once-brash younger sister into someone sharp and clever. She stole her fiancé, harmed her birth mother, and ruthlessly pulled her down from the heavens. Laughing arrogantly, she sneered, “How can a mere woman from the feudal era ever compete with a modern woman of the 21st century?”

Schemes and trickery altered her predestined fate, a pregnant belly destroyed her marriage prospects, and she was forced to marry a pampered and debauched son of a noble, who brought ruin upon her on her wedding night. And yet, by some strange twist of fate, it inadvertently led her to the most extraordinary encounter with her fated one.

A crazy monk once read her fortune: a great calamity at the coming of age, a great joy at the age of twenty, and a great sorrow in old age.

Shen Guiyan did not believe in fate. She only believed that with human determination, one could even overcome destiny.

Those who took from her, she would make sure they would pay! Those who harmed her, she would make sure they would burn in the pits of hell!

However, he discovered he was merely a puppet emperor, a pawn used by the Empress Dowager to maintain stability before her own ascension to the throne. He was expendable, liable to be discarded at any moment.

Cheng Wanyun: "..."

Everyone knows that the life of Yinreng ends in misery. But now, Yinreng is still a young man, only fifteen years old—handsome, bright, gentle, and proud of himself.

Cheng Wanyun calculated and found that there were at least twenty more years before Yinreng would be imprisoned and die.

So... she decided to lie down for now. If it’s a waste, then so be it. Anyway, she wasn’t going to move.

Let them imprison him, what’s the difference where she lies down?

Others were busy vying for favor, dancing in the garden in winter wearing thin silk. Cheng Wanyun was curled up by the stove, watching the snow while nibbling on delicious roast duck.

Others were busy scheming for power, secretly sowing discord to incite punishment in the palace. Cheng Wanyun was raising her child, taking care of cats and dogs.

Others were busy forming factions, with the First Consort and Second Consort standing in opposition. Cheng Wanyun was sipping on milk tea, playing cards: "Boom!"

She had unknowingly reached the forty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign and finally wondered: Why hadn’t she been discarded yet?

After Yinreng accepted Cheng Gege (Low-ranking concubine) as his concubine, he slept with her, occasionally having strange dreams, all of which came true. Over time, he remembered more and more. It turned out those were his past life memories—conflict with his father, infighting with his brothers, the early death of a younger brother, his eventual downfall, and his death in isolation.

Despite his fragmented memories, he cautiously navigated every step, walking on thin ice. Meanwhile, Cheng Gege... slept soundly without a care.

Yinreng: So angry.

But he still gently lowered his head and tucked the blanket around her.

Perhaps the divine heavens knew his path would be full of hardship, so they blessed him with a small lucky star. He was bloodied, wielding a sword through the battlefield, while she was his peaceful haven, his paradise. <<less

Yun Si is just a low-ranking palace maid.... more>>

She's not a good person, but she's a beauty.

She knows her lowly status, even if she leaves the palace, marrying into a noble family as a concubine would be considered a great honor.

She's accustomed to the luxurious life in the palace and can't go back to her old life.

So, she set her sights on the Emperor.

Everyone says Yun Si is cunning and has gained the Emperor's favor.

But no one knows, after being favored by the Emperor, Yun Si remained a nameless and title-less palace maid for two whole years.

Tan Yuanchu initially noticed Yun Si because of her clumsy and seemingly clever flattery.

He kept Yun Si by his side for two whole years before finally granting her the title she wanted.

He watched coldly as Yun Si became arrogant and domineering after gaining power.

Until the end, Tan Yuanchu realized that he wasn't just infatuated with her beauty, but with everything about her, including her hidden thoughts that she thought she had concealed well.

In the third year of Yifeng, the illegitimate daughter of the Ningyang Marquis' household entered the palace.... more>>

Entering the palace is like stepping into an unfathomable sea; the only rule is to never fall in love.

Ning Shuyan was well aware of this. What she sought were wealth, power, and the Emperor's favor. Over three years, she planned meticulously, captivating the Emperor's attention and climbing from the rank of Cairen to Noble Consort.

The harem whispered that the Emperor's affection for women was dictated by utility and interest. When Xiao Yu first met her, he was intrigued by this woman. He said, "I didn't expect her to have such beauty." Everyone claimed that his interest in her was merely fleeting. Yet, that fleeting interest turned into a lifetime of favor for Ning Shuyan.

Xiao Yu later admitted: At first, he was drawn to her looks, then captivated by her alluring charm.

Unexpectedly, a lifetime passed, and no matter how much he looked at her, he never grew tired.
