【Time Travel + Workplace Competition + No Lazing Around + Ambitious Female Lead】 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!

Previously known as: Seducing an Emperor "Our daughter is all wrong Iotiva her body is not bountiful. No man in Roma wants to marry her. They won't marry her for her intelligence that is for sure" he spat draining his glass. I sat there silently taking the blame for my fathers' lack of fortune. The gods are not looking upon us today.

"Nothing, not even the royal blood that coursed through their veins, could ever stop the affectionate feelings the two royals had for each other." [COMPLETED] Rankings: #1 in #frary #1 in #marystuart #3 in #reign #17 in Historical Fiction #23 in QUEEN (This story is based on the CW television show, Reign. It will be lightly going off of the show's story line. Please realize that I will be changing multiple scenarios and will not be following exactly by the script of Reign the majority of the time. Also, I give all credits necessary to the makers of Reign and CW. I only take the credit for Princess Arabella, who is purely my own fictional character. Enjoy!)

Katherine Tudor's rise through the French court amiss betrayal, tragedy, and the typical conflicts of being a queen in the medieval era. REWRITE OF : THE LIFE OF A QUEEN NOTE: some future chapters might require trigger warnings, so look out for those later. There is no update schedule so far but I'm aiming for once a month at the minimum.

Katherine Tudor was supposed to be stillborn. A dead daughter of Elizabeth of York whom would die days before her mother. That is no longer the case. Instead she became Queen of France at 13. The wife of Le Garcon Roi; the boy king. The Queen Mother who kept the country afloat for nearly a decade and continued to do so until the day she died. Yeah, I like this story better, too. UNDER EDIT AND REVISION I might continue it, I have some drafts, but HoTD has my attention rn and I want to see where my ideas with that go. Thank you guys for reading though (:
