Description: [Pre-order When Lu Zhi Becomes Zhao Ji—Please Collect!]

Main Story Description:

When a little flower sprite transmigrates into the destined-to-die-early Yongzheng-era Noble Consort Nian, Nian Jiao: QAQ

She decides to cling tightly to her future boss’s thigh, protect her family, save her troublemaker Second Brother, and incidentally, save herself.

Fourth Master appreciates elegance—so Nian Jiao proclaims herself a talented lady, secretly hiring ghostwriters to compose poetry.

Fourth Master values frugality—so Nian Jiao follows steadfastly, secretly hoarding money and jewelry.

No flashy gold and silver accessories, no extravagant clothing, meals leaning toward the bland—farewell, beloved braised pork trotters.

Everything can be sacrificed, except for one little hobby—keeping a diary.

Nian Jiao: I’ll give it my all!

.

The world knows that Yong Prince’s Consort Nian is a peerless beauty, a delicate flower cradled in Fourth Master’s palm.

The delicate flower worships her master, and the master dotes on her, shielding her from the slightest wind or rain.

Until one day, the master accidentally flips open the delicate flower’s diary, where it reads:

“Living a long life is the priority—men are just seasoning.”

Fourth Master’s face darkens instantly.

Reading further—

“Poetry is so hard to memorize.”

“I miss braised pork trotters.”

“I want the boss to sleep on the floor.”

…

“The Royal Residence can’t afford colorful porcelain—everything’s plain blue, plain white.”

“The boss is probably broke… and a little stingy. QAQ”

The “a little stingy” Fourth Master lets out a cold laugh.

Nian Jiao’s cover is blown—unexpectedly.

Pre-order When Lü Zhi Becomes Zhao Ji Description

They say the soul returns to the underworld after death. On her deathbed, Empress Dowager Lü Zhi of the Han Dynasty sighs faintly.

She doesn’t want to reunite with her infuriating husband and son down there.

When she opens her eyes again, Lü Zhi finds herself weak on a couch, cradling a sleeping infant.

A man before her clasps her hand with deep affection: “My lady, you’ve done a great service for Qin. Our child was born in the first month—let’s name him Zheng. Little Zheng will surely grow into an extraordinary man!”

Lü Zhi: ???

—

259 BCE, Handan, State of Zhao.

Lü Zhi looks at her chubby, sleeping son, then at the down-and-out grandson of the Qin king, and offers a frail but radiant smile: “…”

She may have avoided reuniting with Liu Bang and Liu Ying, but she’s now become Qin Shi Huang’s birth mother, Zhao Ji.

Little Ying Zheng grows day by day—more obedient, more intelligent, more considerate than Liu Ying ever was, his temperament surpassing Liu Ying by eighty thousand miles.

As she raises him, Lü Zhi can’t help herself. Just before Lü Buwei and Ying Yiren flee Zhao, abandoning mother and son, she picks up her child: “A-Zheng, it’s just you and me now.”

Little Ying Zheng hugs her neck tightly.

Lü Zhi smiles faintly. “I’ll work hard to give you the whole world.”
