I transmigrated into the body of the last puppet emperor, only to be targeted by a rules-based horror from the start?
A woman combing her hair at midnight, a man weeping at night, a blood-red eye hidden in the dry well of the Cold Palace... This blasted palace is more outrageous than a client's demands!
Luckily, all my subordinates are transmigrated science and engineering geniuses!
Su Zhen of the Ministry of Works: “A man crying at night? That's infrasound resonance. I'll build a silencer!”
Chen Mo, Marquis of Jingbian: “A palace maid combing her hair? Mathematical modeling and energy-field analysis will pinpoint the source of contamination!”
Zhou Ling of the Imperial Observatory: “Geomagnetic disturbances? My monitoring network is more accurate than the weather forecast!”
And there's Cheng, master artisan of the Directorate of Imperial Manufactories, Zhao, deputy commissioner of the Bureau of Military Equipment, Physician Zhang Yan, and more... A bunch of specialists in impossible assignments have turned a supernatural horror scenario into a university lab!
But the powerful minister Qin Siyuan sneers: “The young emperor is obsessed with frivolous inventions. The dynasty is doomed!”
Under a blood moon during the grand sacrificial rites, contamination runs rampant throughout the city. Qin forces his way into the palace to demand accountability: “Demons are running the government! The emperor must be deposed!”
Lin Qiu wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth and raises the Imperial Jade Seal.
“Prime Minister Qin, don't rush. I'll patch up this haunted dynasty right now!”
Not attractive enough,
