Crossing Over: The Scheming Concubine’s Quest for a Good Marriage

Song Ping’an died on the operating table due to heart disease. When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated to ancient times, becoming Song Yuning – the daughter born to an unofficial concubine.

Because of a fortune teller’s prophecy that “the Song family would have Five Golden Flowers who would all marry into high status,” the opportunistic Old Madam Song brought Song Yuning back to the Song residence.

In the Song household, she studied, practiced calligraphy, and received instruction alongside her sisters – all to eventually secure a good marriage that would benefit the Song family.

Facing a selfish and philandering father, a biased and cold stepmother, and a shrewd, calculating grandmother, they struggled to survive in the narrow spaces between.

As concubine-born daughters, they each employed their unique abilities to escape this oppressive inner household, securing good marriages for themselves.

But Song Yuning never expected that her own good marriage would be so formidable – not only making her a princess consort, but ultimately elevating her to the position of Empress.
