After transmigrating, Shen Yan was bound to the [Take-Me-Seriously System]: whatever someone casually bragged about, he had to do, and completing it earned him cultivation rewards.
Shen Yan visited a brothel, where the leading courtesan, Liu Ruyan, said as usual, "Whoever can compose a poem that stirs my heart will be welcomed into my bed tonight~"
Shen Yan recited "A Moonlit Night on the Spring River" on the spot.
Liu Ruyan: "What a beautiful poem! But I meant poetry with lyrics!"
That night, Shen Yan demanded she make good on her promise.
Liu Ruyan: "You actually took me seriously?"
A murder took place in the capital, and the empress blurted out, "My esteemed ministers, whoever solves the case in three days will be made Minister of the Court of Judicial Review."
Shen Yan solved the case in three days and reported back in the Golden Hall.
The empress: "... I was just saying that offhand!"
Shen Yan: "A ruler's word is not a joke. I took you seriously."
The empress: "Fine, then."
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review: "Your Majesty, I'm still here!"
The court was beset by troubles at home and abroad, and the ministers kept passing the buck. Shen Yan stepped forward, and everyone promptly criticized him: "How can a poor scholar like you presume to discuss governing the country?"
Shen Yan wrote the "Ten Strategies for Governing the Country" on the spot, leaving the entire court speechless and collectively despairing.
The Northern Pacification Marquis's daughter: "If you can beat me, I'll be your concubine!"
Shen Yan beat her and tied her up on the spot.
The female general's personal guard came charging into the marquis's residence, shouting, "My lord! Something terrible has happened! The young lady has been abducted!"
Seeing that the whole realm recognized Shen Yan and not her, the empress blurted out, "Shen Yan, why don't you just become regent?"
Shen Yan: "I obey your decree."
The empress: "Stop obeying my decrees! Why not take the throne too?"
Shen Yan: "Your Majesty, please remove your armor and retire to the harem!"
The empress: "I was joking when I said I'd give you the throne!!!"
Shen Yan: "I wasn't joking."
The empress: "Then what if I tell you to go die?!"
Shen Yan: "I'll go at once."
The empress: "I was wrong! I'll do whatever you say!"
