Empress, I'm Done Being One

Regarding the questions raised in response to the inquiries Regarding the protagonist's failure to perceive the fish's reality and existence. First, the protagonist himself stated that Gao Mingyue led the army to quell the rebellion, which is a factual point. It doesn't explain who quelled the rebellion in the original game. If it wasn't Gao Mingyue, wouldn't that create a contradiction? Of course, Gao Mingyue's expedition can be forcibly explained as an inevitable outcome of events. Furthermore, Gao Mingyue's weakness was revealed by the protagonist himself, and the way he lost matched that weakness. Of course, the author can also forcibly explain that there were capable individuals within the "game" rebel army. Most importantly, the game makes no mention of the protagonist's change in mentality before and after defeating the imperial army. It's unclear whether this was intentional, accidental, or a combination of both. Then look at Lan's expedition—everything is there before and after (and here's another complaint: knowing the system provides battle reports but not reading them, just waiting for news of being outmatched—who else would get beaten up if not the protagonist?). Secondly, and most importantly, don't you have a mouth? Can't you ask questions? You're arguing there are too many conspiracies to be certain. You could directly pull people into your space, you could directly ask them. At the very least, you could write a letter to Bai Ling and ask; it wouldn't take up much time. You just keep guessing. The author deserves all the criticism. Regarding whether the protagonist has opened his third eye It's completely understandable that the protagonist doesn't trust the powerful minister Bai Ling. However, why should the protagonist trust Xun Leshang? Up to chapter 48, it's clear that the protagonist trusts Xun implicitly. What, if someone comes up to you and says, "Your Majesty, I am a loyal minister," would you believe them? Why would the protagonist trust her if they don't have divine insight? Of course, the author could explain that they don't actually trust her, that they're just being perfunctory, but up to chapter 48, I haven't seen the protagonist question her even slightly. It could also be explained that the author omitted earlier details just for a plot twist (though I find that a bit disgusting; at least given the protagonist's character, I think she genuinely trusts him). Okay, let's get back to basic logic. As a transmigrated office worker burdened with a 996 work culture, is it really reasonable for the protagonist to believe everything people say in the workplace? Like a three-year-old? Fine, I can continue to explain for the author: just starting out in the workplace, still possessing the naiveté of a college student. Have you ever played Werewolf? That also explains it; the protagonist hadn't played it before transmigrating, he's just a simple, innocent naiveté. But a simple, innocent naiveté appearing as the protagonist in a work similar to a power struggle... ... So, continuing, why wouldn't a naive and innocent girl trust a powerful minister? Why? Someone who would readily trust a loyal minister even if they just handed you a random note, why wouldn't she trust a powerful minister who didn't kill her? Don't you have supernatural powers? Okay, let's just say it's a typical naive and innocent drama, or she's read too many novels. At least in more normal dramas and novels, powerful ministers have their own overt and covert agents, right? Isn't the protagonist afraid that Xun is Bai's covert agent? Is this just a test of the protagonist? Does the protagonist not have supernatural powers?
