Your Majesty, Your Novel Has Come True

Modern novelist Zhao Yan transmigrates into the body of a prince confined to the cold palace. To protect himself, he anonymously publishes palace intrigue, court politics, and military affairs as a “live-stream novel.” He writes that “the Noble Consort is having an affair with the Imperial Physician,” and the next day she is thrown into the imperial prison. He invents a story about “a frontier general colluding with the enemy,” and three days later, an urgent report confirms it... He panics: Am I writing history, or is history bending itself to fit my story?

Zhao Yan goes from nervously “making up stories to avoid disaster” to using this ability to actively take part in governing, then discovers an even more terrifying truth behind it. For example, he may not be the only one with this ability, or the world itself may be one giant narrative trap. In the end, he must break free of his dependence on this power and win the realm through his genuine character and wisdom.
