Description:
Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace is a sequel to Empresses in the Palace (Zhen Huan Zhuan), telling the story of Ula Nara Ruyi and the Qianlong Emperor, Aisin Gioro Hongli, from their reciprocal affection to their mutual loss and disillusionment.

To protect herself, Qingying asked the Empress Dowager to bestow a new name, “Ruyi”, and was granted the position of Consort Xian. She lived in Yanxi Palace and was at the time bereft of power. In fact, for her, the downward spiral has just begun…

Yeah, it’s a bad ending 😅
Hope you all will enjoy the translation! I promise the bad ending doesn’t ruin the quality of the novel😊
Oh no, this is going to hurt!
The TV series is a sad ending, I’ve heard the book is worse!

Heyy, thanks for the comment — I’m once again late to updating these links (literally just got around to doing so). But if you want to view the chapter before I get around to updating the links, you can go to the sidebar and it should be accessible from under “Recent Posts”.
I just found you, I’ve been trying to find a translation of this novel, thank you for your work.
