After Taking Over the Scumbag Emperor, I Tear Up the Script of Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

Jiang Yue wakes up one morning to find she's become Qianlong from Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace.

Faced with a plot full of “Ruyi syndrome” and palace intrigue that makes everyone look stupid, his fists clench.

To hell with being deeply in love. I am the emperor, not a supporting character in your romance.

Qing Ying plays hard to get? The Cold Palace is where she belongs.

Xiyue pretends to be ill to compete for favor? Strip her of her title and confine her, with imperial physicians “keeping watch” around the clock.

Yuyan stirs up trouble? A letter to her homeland, and she can be “escorted” back to the Yuyan clan at once.

My empress, Fuca Langhua, needs only to enjoy honor and glory. She doesn't need to be virtuous while holding back tears. Hailan's first signs of turning dark are stamped out at the source.

In the court, I use an iron hand to carry out new policies. In the harem, I use open strategy to set the rules. All schemes are futile in the face of absolute imperial power and insight.

I want a stable realm and an enduring dynasty, not a farce of endless weeping in the harem.

This is a dimensional strike from a modern soul, tearing up an absurd script with bare hands and resolving every lingering regret.

Jiang Yue alone is the authority and the standard.

From now on, the Qing harem is finally peaceful and clear.

[Content warning: The protagonist follows the cold, ruthless principles of a feudal emperor. Those opposed to imperial rule should read with caution. He doesn't always act as the original plot would suggest, and good and evil, reward and punishment, aren't determined by the script's labels.]

Special note: Most events from the original story will still happen. Once the person carrying out the plot changes, the corresponding consequences will naturally befall that character instead.

The protagonist is not a good person, and doesn't act according to traditional ideals of goodness and beauty.
