The Emperor Regrets Everything After I Return to the Modern World

[Return from transmigration + livestreaming + women’s awakening + history lessons + raising a child]

The short version:

An abandoned concubine escapes the cold palace with her child, while a System forces her to livestream for people in ancient times.

Ye Zhenzhen: Then let’s talk about Hua Mulan, Wu Zetian, and Li Qingzhao.

The entire court: ??? We’re not sure we can accept this...

Ye Zhenzhen: You’ll have to listen anyway, because I get 100,000 yuan for every story I tell.

The slightly more formal version:

After transmigrating seven years ago, Ye Zhenzhen helped that man conquer the realm, devise fire attacks, and draw maps.

He said, “When the realm is at peace, whatever you want, I’ll give you.”

Only at his coronation did she discover he already had a wife and daughter.

Her daughter was taken from her, her achievements erased, and her women’s school rejected.

She asked to be sent to the cold palace, where she wasted away for three years.

Then the System arrived: “I can send you home. But you have to livestream to that world.”

So Ye Zhenzhen, holding her four-year-old daughter, returned to the modern world in front of the entire court.

From then on, a sky screen appeared over the Great Li Dynasty.

Every day at two in the afternoon, the former “discarded concubine” went live on schedule.

She didn’t talk about palace intrigue or gossip.

She told them how Hua Mulan joined the army in her father’s place and went unrecognized for twelve years;

how Wu Zetian ascended the throne and became emperor, ushering in a golden age at the age of sixty-seven;

she told them about Fu Hao, Qin Liangyu, Li Qingzhao, Qiu Jin...

Each of her stories shattered the ideological shackles of an entire era.
