Worldbuilding: A group of modern urban professionals transmigrate into The Great Sheng Dynasty, a fictional historical novel. The original story focuses on political intrigue and palace strife, following Prince Jing’s rebellion, the emperor’s assassination, and infighting in the imperial harem. After transmigrating, everyone is randomly assigned an identity. They retain their modern memories, but must adapt to the rules of the past and its power struggles. The world has its own “Fate Correction Mechanism,” which tries to eliminate the transmigrators and keep the original plot on course.

He awakens the Emperor System, which lets him draw on modern knowledge of management, military affairs, and technology. Each use consumes “Dragon Qi,” and when it runs out, he dies.
Female lead, Lin Xiaoman: Formerly a junior administrative assistant at a company, she is gentle but resilient. After transmigrating, she becomes Lin, a low-ranking beauty in the imperial harem.
