There is a certain large country in the central plains of the mainland. In the imperial court of its emperor, there is a girl. Her name is Maomao, a pharmacist from the pleasure district, who is currently working as a maidservant in the inner palace. The girl, who surely can not be considered a beauty, is keeping a low-profile waiting for her contract to end. She is confident that she will not be “visited” by the emperor. During that, she learns about the short lives of the children of the emperor. Maomao, hearing that the two surviving children are critically ill, begins her investigation for the cause—.... more>>

Gu Yu Qi, a daughter born to a marquis household. She was beautiful with knowledge in both civil and military, and her kindness broader than the sky. It was love at first sight for her, and she insisted on marrying him and was happy even if she were to become a mistress. She worked hard to help him step by step to become the emperor.... more>>

But what happened to her in the end?

For ten whole years, she was humiliated and abandoned. Disheartened, she drank poison to end her life and set her place on fire, only to find herself back to when she was ten years old. It was the year she followed her mother into the capital. It wasn’t too late to change her fate.

If Yun Ke had any regrets in his previous life, then it would be how he always kept thinking about a woman who died decades ago. Because of that, before he died, he secretly had the woman’s ashes pressed beneath his coffin. As the emperor, he had the final say of everything under the sky. So how could he allow that woman to be arrogant in front of him? Even at his deathbed, he would crush her beneath him.

Who knew he’d be reborn again…

When the transmigrated girl meets the boy who was reborn, Gu Yu Qi simply wanted to yell at the sky. Just what are you playing at!? <<less

In the previous life, the First Rank Duke’s mansion collapsed and completely vanished. In this lifetime, Bai Qing Yan, the eldest legitimate daughter was reborn and she will never let the Bai family follow the same footsteps than in the previous life.... more>>

The son of the Bai family is already dead, so there is no place for the Bai family to stand in the capital ?

Xiao Rong Yan, a wealthy businessman from the Great Wei State, said: “For hundreds of years, the First Rank Duke’s Bai family of military lineage, never produced any waste, and the family’s daughters are no exception.

Later… the eldest miss of the Bai family was this generation’s goddess of war, legend had it that she had never been defeated.

Gu Lingyun suddenly transmigrated into a vicious female supporting character in a harem battle novel. She appeared to be a favored concubine, but in reality, she was only cannon fodder. Gu Lingyun, who had read eight hundred harem battle novels in her previous life, was eager to try the harem fight and was preparing to show off her talents. However, she found that the plot seemed a little different.... more>>

Being falsely accused of pushing another concubine into the water.
Gu Lingyun hadn't made any move, and the concubine who fell into the water was thrown into the cold palace.

It was rumored that she had an affair with an imperial physician.
While she was still thinking of countermeasures, the imperial physician was thrown into prison.

Gu Lingyun: ...

Xiao Yuheng had acquired a miraculous power since he was a child and could hear other people's minds. He grew up as a perfunctory and hypocritical person; thus, he thought that his acting ability was already top-notch compared to other people. It was not until he met Gu Lingyun, who was a better actor than him. Gu Lingyun had tears in her eyes and looked very pitiful, but she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, "They actually framed me for drugging the dog emperor. Is the harem battle about to begin? Come on, I'm ready!"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuheng smiled slightly and whispered softly, "Ignoring my beloved concubine is really a crime worthy of death."
The 101st time Gu Lingyun prepared for the harem battle... failed again. <<less

“The person who succumbed to binge-watching until four in the morning, Su Li Mo, might just be the first.... more>>

Upon waking up, she found herself transformed into the Pure Consort of Emperor Qianlong’s harem. Not only was she 32 years old, but she also had an eight-year-old eldest son, a son barely two years old, and, oh, a new-born daughter who hadn’t even reached a month old yet. It’s utterly heart-breaking.

To make matters worse, historically, this Pure Consort only lived to be 47 years old! And her children suffered even more! Her second son passed away at the age of 47, her eldest son at 26, and her youngest daughter at 23…

Save me! Save me!”

“Emperor Qianlong lived to be 87 years old, and there were several concubines in his harem who managed to live past 70, with some even outliving Qianlong by an additional two years.

Upon calming down and carefully considering it, although the harem may be wicked, as long as one earnestly perseveres and takes good care of their health, perhaps one could still live to a ripe old age of 99… as a seasoned old salted fish.”

PS: Genuine Salted Fish Daily Life: What’s the Meaning of Palace Intrigue When Lying Flat and Living Until 99 Sounds so Blissful?

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

Yaoniang was the concubine of Jin Wang in the last life, but she had only been doted on for a few months before she died.... more>>

After her rebirth, she decided to live safely and protect herself. So she would do a job well as a wet nurse and never pursue luxurious life.

However, it never occurred to her that stern-faced Jin Wang who only did things without discussion in her last life would now take initiative.

Everyone in the world knew that Jin Wang had a concubine which was doted by him as early as he lived in original place. After entering the royal palace, she was even more prestigious and Jin Wang only doted her in imperial harem.

There were many rumors in the folk villages about the concubine. The only thing that was well known was that before she entered the royal palace she was a widow and it was said that she also had a son.

During the time Jin Wang became the emperor, he was diligent and managed the country well. He worked hard to improve his governance as a wise emperor. However, he was frequently crazy about the concubine, which made people criticize a lot.

And one of the most absurd things he did was to recognize the son the concubine had as his own kid.

To this, Jin Wang personally came out to refute the rumor:
“It’s my own son.” <<less

Even the biggest casino in the capital city would gamble and make bets about how she would die. The side-concubines gifted to the Prince of Su Wang would also cry and kneel to the ground to hug Lu Shao Qi’s legs, begging for her to not drag them to death with her.

A sequel to the drama, Empresses in the Palace (Zhen Huan Zhuan), Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace tells the story of Ula Nara Ruyi and the Qianlong Emperor, Aisin Gioro Hongli, from their loving acquaintance to mutual loss and disillusionment. ... more>>

Arc 1 Intro:

The palace walls have great depth, reflecting a deep vermilion. In the harem, power and position are always linked to the Emperor’s favor. The overt and covert fights between the concubines are just like the frigid winter, so cold that it reaches the bottom of people’s hearts.

The Ula Nara family background once brought supreme honor to Qingying, Hongli’s Secondary Consort. After Hongli ascended the throne, the shifts in power in the harem and the court made her identity awkward, as though there was a target on her back. To protect herself, Qingying asked the Empress Dowager to bestow a new name, “Ruyi”, and was granted the position of Concubine Xian. She lived in Yanxi Palace and was at the time bereft of power. In fact, for her, the downward spiral has just begun… <<less

Ye Yang, a straight man from Northeast China, transmigrated into a novel about court fights, became a concubine, and was bound to a system, which could put on view the favorability score of the main characters.... more>>

On condition that the emperor’s favorability score was too high, he’d fall in love with Ye Yang. However, if his favorability score was too low, he’d be mercilessly killed. In order to protect his life and chastity, Ye Yang forced himself to create his own persona, repeatedly switching between the personality of an unrefined man from Northeast China and the first beauty of the harem.

Yet, things were getting worse and worse. At first, he let the favorability score of the dog emperor drop. Later, the score began increasing rapidly. Watching how the favorability score was about to skyrocket, Ye Yang panicked.

He wore a gold chain and raised a mink, silencing all of the imperial concubines of the harem. Feng Luan’s favorability score had been increased by +1.

He had a snowball fight with the dog emperor and pushed him into a snowdrift. Both of them caught a cold. Feng Luan’s favorability score had been increased by +10.

The mink he raised thought out a plan for Feng Luan to renovate the imperial study room worth of more than 10.000 taels of silver. The imperial study was so horrible that one could hardly bear to look at it.

Feng Luan’s favorability score had been increased by +100.

What’s going on! Are you still a straight man!

……

The longer Ye Yang lived in degradation, the more he felt that the dog emperor was different from what he initially thought.

At his feet the ground was covered in blood and bones, but behind him was the delightful scenery of the prosperous world, and the coming of all nations.

A few years later, he helped Ye Yang up the stairs and gazed into the distance. He saw a myriad of twinkling lights, bustling, bright and beautiful.

And Feng Luan whispered in his ear.

“My dear Imperial Concubine, look.”

“This is our country.” <<less

She came from a modern secret society. Cold and heartless, her appearance is nevertheless enchanting, and thinks of men as playthings. But someone plotted against her and her body was thrown into the sea. ... more>>

When she woke up next, she had transmigrated to become the youngest Empress Dowager of the Feng Yu dynasty. Her beauty is unparalleled and her heart is poisonous like a snake.

Poisoning the imperial concubines to death, executing the emperor, her means are cruel and bloody, truly hateful!

Her old lover, the new emperor absolutely hates her? Not only does he want to banish her to the cold palace, he also dares to slap her in the face?

The court ministers can’t wait to execute her under the law?

The imperial concubines in the inner palace are all hypocrites and vicious?

With an enchanting smile, if a tiger does not show her might, they will treat her as a decoration? Ever since the Empress Dowager has been reborn, the inner palace will never be peaceful again!

Hooking up and joining the imperial uncle for no reason, then teasing the prime minister. If nothing happens, she will find a small bun to abuse, then sit back and watch a bunch of imperial concubines fight among each other. Her days are exciting and smooth. Except, why are all these men stripping naked and ask her to be responsible for them?

“The Empress Dowager seems to be in a good mood these days!”

“Yes! It’s indeed good”

“The peach blossoms in this King’s courtyard are in full bloom. I wonder if the Empress wants to come over to see them?”

“Looking at them is fine! However, imperial uncle, can you remove your hand from my leg?”

[Prime Minister Edition]

One night, a certain Empress Dowager appeared on the cold and stoic prime minister’s bed. She lifted his chin with one hand and wickedly ravaged him. Looking at the ‘unsatisfied’ man below her, she evilly and charmingly smiled. Her voice was filled with temptation: “If it is painful, please tell me. I will be more gentle.”

The cold and stoic prime minister’s eyes flashed. However, he uncomfortably turned his head away. His earlobes were red as blood pearls!

“Empress Dowager! What else do you want before you are willing to let go of the Empress?”

“Get out!”

“Empress Dowager! What do you actually want?”

“Throw him out!”

Ji Jinrong carefully tempted: “If I die you can be the emperor.”

Wei Tingjun: “You dare die, I’ll have everyone buried with you!”

Song Zhao has always been a woman who spares no means to achieve her goals, and at the same time she lives more clearly than anyone else.

From the moment she knew she was chosen by Xiao Jingheng to enter the palace as a concubine,

her goal has been very clear:

"I entered the palace just to become the Empress, why else? To go cook for someone else?"

Therefore, as soon as she entered the palace, relying on her beauty and wisdom, she took steps to win the monarch's heart, and played with the six palaces in her palm.

Anyway, the women in this harem, for the sake of family, for their own favor and honor, there are none who do not compete and snatch,

Since this is the case, what she has to do is take preemptive action,

Make herself a villain, defeat everyone, and successfully ascend to the Phoenix throne.

*

At first, Emperor Xiao Jingheng favored Song Zhao, just because of her unparalleled beauty in the harem.

The favored concubines often become arrogant due to favoritism, but Song Zhao was different.

Not only did she not compete for favor, she always advised Xiao Jingheng to share his rain and dew evenly, and often go to other concubines.

Her attitude towards him in her daily life was also visibly perfunctory.

This inevitably made Xiao Jingheng suspicious, feeling that Song Zhao was not truly sincere towards him.

The innate desire to conquer that emperors possess made him secretly determine to completely possess this woman:

Not just her person, but her heart as well.

The process of conquering Song Zhao was like climbing the highest mountain in the world.

It's just that Xiao Jingheng never thought:

When he climbed Mount Song Zhao, he willingly climbed it for a lifetime.

The hatred and love they had for Xu Ze blackened them all.

"Xu Ze, I hate you for abandoning me! But I also love you. So I'm locking you up by my side so you can never leave!"

"Xu Ze, do you like me, or Big Sister? You certainly like me, right? After all, you told me that you would love me until death do us part."

"Xu Ze, I know why you abandoned me. It's because of this man, right? Then, I will kill him right now, so don't leave me, okay?"

The protagonist: "Brother Xu save me! I'll give you the system, I'll give you all of my treasures, so please don't send your woman to kill me."

Xu Ze, who was tied up, shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

Nobody can compete with someone so honorable.

Su Ling died in the back palace after giving birth to a son.

When she opened her eyes again, she had become the daughter of a fifth-ranked grand scribe—Qin Ling.

Waking up from the dream, although she will no longer be concerned about the fickle man, she has no choice but to enter the palace once again for the child she had given birth to.

On the day of the draft, the emperor leans against the Dragon Throne with drooped eyes and without a word while rubbing his eyebrows impatiently.

Even while sighing, he never lifts his eyes once.

Until Qin Ling walks in, and with the exact same face as Empress Su, says: Wishing the emperor boundless happiness, good luck, and a long life.

Up the throne, the emperor suddenly raises his head. He looks absent-minded and the tea cup falls to the ground.
