You Sent Me as a Hostage, and I Won the Empress’s Heart?

The planet's ancient species have returned.

The eight great families of the Qiming Empire each sent one person to fight the apocalypse as a chosen champion.

Pei Shenqing transmigrated as the eldest son of the Pei family, a reclusive imperial clan the royal family feared most. To clear the way for his genius younger brother, he was sent to the palace as a hostage.

Just as he thought his miserable life was about to begin...

Connected to infinite parallel universes. Able to absorb all memories they and their worlds possess.

Master Chef Pei Shenqing: "This is the main course on my life's menu, a fish from the River of the Dead. Make it into crucian carp? I suppose I could manage..."

Martial Arts Pei Shenqing: "Cultivation is divided into three forms and five hearts, the worthy, the sage, the ultimate truth... Exercise? Sure, I can do that too..."

Sage Pei Shenqing: "With one thought, all things are born. With one thought, all beings perish. You want me to stop these foreign races? That's all I need to do?"

By the time his cheat ability had made him the royal family's most respected sage mentor, his younger brother and father finally came to fetch him.

"Shenqing, you've had a hard time all these years. Come home with your father!"

Pei Shenqing sighed and put an arm around the female emperor.

"Sorry, I've started a family."

A modern setting with a royal family.
