The history of the late Ming Dynasty was chaotic and complex, and can be described as a history written by a few people with strong personal charisma.

Whether it was rebels like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, rulers like Chongzhen and Yuan Chonghuan, or traitors like Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong, each of them had many stories. It was because of these wonderful stories that the history of the late Ming Dynasty became so grand and turbulent.

To write this period of history well, we must naturally depict vivid characters, regardless of their stance. We stand on the edge of the long river of history and observe from the sidelines; they are merely a ripple in this long river.

To observe the world with a critical eye is what we need to do now, and to observe history with a critical eye is also a pursuit in our lives.

The river of history has flowed to our feet, and we can stand on its banks, ready to embrace our history.

[Palace intrigue/Reincarnation/Not a clean break/Lighthearted slice-of-life/Exclusive favor from the female lead/Alternate universe]

Xia Luzhu was a lowly concubine in the harem. She had been in the palace for three years but had never seen the emperor's face. She rarely went out except for necessary greetings.

Palace intrigue? Backstabbing? Miscarriage? None of it concerned her.

Xia Luzhu's greatest hobby every day is reading storybooks, looking forward to what to eat that day, and waiting for the grand feasts during festivals! In her spare time, she also enjoys gossiping about palace intrigues.

Unexpectedly, as she ate, she discovered...

What? There are other transmigrators! And even reincarnated ones? Holy crap, I can't believe there's a third transmigrator!

Unfortunately, my cultural level is low, so I can only say "Holy crap" all over the world.

While watching the opera, Xia Luzhu played cards in his spare time. Unexpectedly, his rank rose rapidly while he was idly playing cards.

In the end, how did she become empress?!

Xia Luzhu couldn't help but wonder if she was a lucky koi in her previous life?

Later, the lazy and slacking-off empress lay on the couch reading a newly arrived storybook.

The young emperor, who had just finished approving the memorials, looked like a resentful husband. He embraced her from behind, his hot breath brushing against her ear.

"Qingqing, I beg you, please give me a crown prince."

#Palace intrigue is impossible, just watching the drama unfold and having kids#

Cui Xuejian transmigrated and became a little Baolin.

Several towering mountains stand overhead, while a few kittens stretch out their paws at your feet.

Given this situation, what's the point of palace intrigue? Let's just give up and do nothing!

Cui Xuejian believed that as long as she hid quickly, no demons or monsters could find her!

Ha, he might not be good at palace intrigue, but he's a master at health preservation!

As long as you live long enough, you'll have everything!

Um, but what's wrong with this emperor? Don't come looking for me! I'm never having children again!!!

[Transmigrated into a minor palace concubine, the system lets me watch dramas while I gossip]

Let's expose the true nature of Emperor Qin Mouchen, who loved to eavesdrop.

P.S.: My new book, "I'm in Palace Intrigue, You're Just Watching the Show?", has been released. Welcome to support it! ◝(⁰▿⁰)◜

Traveling back to the Northern Song Dynasty, he became Wu Song, and from then on he unfolded a magnificent fairy tale landscape.

One hundred and eight demons reincarnated and caused chaos;

The spirit of the true dragon is torn apart, and the Song and Yuan Dynasties are fighting;

The Xianmen and the Hiddenmen appeared one after another to control the court;

Confucianism, Taoism, Law, and Buddhism are all yin and yang, and a hundred schools of thought contend:

Taoist priests who guard the dragon veins, demons who escape from control, monks who guard the destiny of the country, warlocks who kill invisible people, low-level sects, secret successors who control machine beasts, Meng Yuan warships sailing into the sea...

A different world of immortals and heroes...

Empress Wenzhao was a famously "enchanting" concubine, but also the most talented empress. Her life was marked by many changes in reputation and status, but this did not diminish her status or research value.

[System + Child Raising + Intense Competition]

Because she was well cared for at home and had a plump and beautiful figure, Qi Jiao was sold to the palace as a maid after the flood. When she got a little older, she became a maid in the Empress's palace.

In a few years, she will be promoted to become a concubine in the Eastern Palace.

Qi Jiao always adhered to the theory that it's better to live a miserable life than to die a glorious death, and she could survive anywhere. Although she was a concubine, it was still a promotion, wasn't it?

However, this crown prince seems a bit difficult to serve.

"Aren't you that chubby girl in the Empress Dowager's palace?"

Qi Jiao, who had originally planned to make a good impression on the Crown Prince during their first meeting as a concubine, had a stiff face.

Is this the impression she's given the Crown Prince all these years? Shouldn't she be a lively and pretty little white rabbit?

Qi Jiao's life in the harem was not as terrible as she had imagined, nor was it to the point of life and death.

When you reach the highest point and look back, you realize that the hardest thing was still studying.

But as he continued learning, he rose to a position second only to the emperor, proving that learning truly can change one's destiny.

The grown-up children wholeheartedly agreed with this statement, their eyes brimming with ambition: to expand their territories, to become the ruler of a prosperous era, and to possess extraordinary talent...

There was no way around it; my mother was just too stubborn, how could they fall behind?

Qi Jiao pondered, could this system really be inherited?

The female lead only wanted to have a good life.

The Crown Prince felt guilty every day, always feeling that he had wronged his little fox.

Early on, the emperor didn't exclusively favor one woman; it was a different kind of harem.
