Book Transmigration: I Swap Bodies with the Frail Empress

[Body Swap + Comedy + Power Fantasy + Lighthearted + Smart Characters + Tightly Plotted + The Empress Regrets It + Relentless Pursuit]

Gu Siyuan was reading a book at home. Dissatisfied with its contents, he grumbled about it, only to transmigrate into the book.

The good news: in the book, he was the Duke Who Guards the Nation. The bad news: his character was executed along with his entire family in the very first chapter.

Just then, the System appeared:

Turn the country you’re in into a golden age, and you can return to the modern world.

The even worse news:

He and the Empress had swapped bodies.

If either of them died, they would both die, and neither could return to the modern world.

Any injuries their bodies sustained would still be there when they switched back, even after returning to the modern world.

The Empress, now in Gu Siyuan’s body: This vile source of all evil! I’ll have it cut off!

Gu Siyuan: Don’t you dare!

If you cut off that source, I’ll find ten beggars on the street and use your body to sleep with them!

Gu Siyuan: My esteemed ministers, I have an idea. Let your daughters come to the palace and keep me company.

And so rumors spread that His Majesty had a peculiar taste for women!

At court:

Minister: Your Majesty, the Duke Who Guards the Nation wields excessive power and flouts the law. Please punish him, or I’ll dash myself to death right here in the hall.

Gu Siyuan: Fine, go ahead and die. I’ll have the court historian record your glorious deed.

If you don’t die today, you’ll be guilty of deceiving the throne, and I’ll execute your entire family!

The ministers: Huh? Why isn’t His Majesty following the usual script?

Su Yao is drugged with an aphrodisiac, and then…

Gu Siyuan: Oh, no! Su Yao, calm down! Acting on impulse is a recipe for disaster!

The most terrifying thing in the world is watching yourself force yourself on yourself.
