Rule Horror: Seriously? Backing the Empress Counts Too?

A man transmigrates into a strange tale about Li Er's harem. From the start, he thinks that treating Empress Changsun will help him establish himself in the Tang Dynasty and make his transmigration a smooth path to a comeback. But then...

The rules descend, bringing all kinds of bizarre requirements:

Rule 1: To ensure your safety, hold Empress Changsun's hand in front of Li Er.

Rule 2: When Li Er arrives, it's best to hide in the empress's bed. No one has ever escaped Li Er's notice.

Rule 3: If someone roars at you as if they're about to tear you apart, run. But if that person is Li Er, you'd better stand still, keep smiling, stay calm, and greet him while you're at it.

Rule 4: When Li Er distrusts you, you must stand firmly with Empress Changsun...

And there are more rules you must neither break nor find loopholes in...

I'm done for. Now I get it: these rules are meant to kill me. I don't want to transmigrate anymore. I want to go home!

Ding! The golden finger has arrived!

This is great! Looks like I'm back in business...
