Description
Su Yi was once a free-spirited cultivator who failed her tribulation and, through a stroke of fate, was transported into a Qing Dynasty novel. She became a cannon fodder female character who was treated as nothing more than a baby-making machine by her sister. The sister was the protagonist of this Qing Dynasty novel and, with the mindset of keeping the child while discarding the mother, ensured that the cannon fodder gave birth to a child and then died from severe postpartum bleeding. The protagonist naturally took over the child, becoming the boy’s mother. However, after having her own child, she immediately turned into a wicked stepmother, stirring up trouble. Su Yi could understand every word, but when they were put together, she found it a bit confusing. Expecting her to follow the plot was probably a dream. She had been too hardworking before, but now she just wanted to be a salted fish without any ambition. She planned to mooch off the emperor for food and clothing, bask in his imperial aura, and enjoy the beauty of his harem to nurture her body and mind. Life was blissful. Emperor Kangxi suddenly gained the ability to read minds. Anyone within a meter of him or touching him would have their inner thoughts revealed to him. He discovered that the women in his harem were all wearing the skin of beauties while harboring malicious and scheming thoughts, which greatly annoyed him. Among them was an exception – his newly entered fragile and delicate beauty, whose affectionate and gentle gaze made his heart soften considerably. But while she claimed to love him, she was actually eyeing his harem in her heart. Upon closer inspection, he found that she looked just as 深情 (deeply in love) at the beautiful palace maids by his side! Su Yi justified herself with a straight face: “I’m just distributing my love equally to everyone.” Kangxi: “What are you talking about ?!”

My Thoughts on The Qing Dynasty Consort who wants to be a Salted Fish
First Impressions
The premise of "The Qing Dynasty Consort who wants to be a Salted Fish" immediately grabbed my attention: a lazy consort in the Qing Dynasty, mixed with Xianxia elements? Intriguing! The story follows Su Yi, who finds herself in the middle of the Kangxi Emperor's harem, and frankly, she'd rather be napping. It felt like a fun twist on the usual historical romance.
What Works Well
What I appreciated most was the blend of historical setting with fantasy elements. The author takes the reign of Emperor Kangxi and reimagines it with a touch of Xianxia. Su Yi's character is also a high point – her laziness and cleverness create an interesting dynamic, especially when she interacts with the Emperor. The comedic moments are well-placed and lighten the heavier aspects of palace intrigue. The romance between Kangxi and Su Yi is interesting, particularly the depiction of Kangxi's possessiveness and intense feelings. The slow-burn nature of the plot allows for character development and world-building.
