    [Playing it cool + Husband-chasing-after-the-cremation + Empress + Double Rebirth + Satisfying Story + Involution Avoided + Husband-doting Maniac] Gu Changsheng transmigrated into a very angsty female-oriented novel, becoming Empress Feng Jiuge's trusted minister. In the original story, he served the Empress in five campaigns against the Northern Plains, six campaigns to pacify the Western Desert, and seven campaigns to Qishan, devoting himself wholeheartedly and writing the "Memorial on the Expedition." Then, his achievements overshadowed the Empress, and treacherous officials slandered him, leading to the Empress's suspicion and his suicide to prove his resolve. Before dying, he hung his eyes on the city gate: "I want to see how you destroy the empire!" Three years later, the Northern Plains cavalry trampled Liyang City, and the Empress, holding his eyes, immolated herself in death. In this life, Gu Changsheng awakens a system. As long as he doesn't follow the original plot, he can obtain a lot of rewards. But the Empress has also been reborn. Reborn back to the second year of her reign. The Empress vows: In this life, I will not betray the Great Li, nor will I betray you. Gu Changsheng: In this life, I will lie down! He claims illness and does not attend court. The Empress stormed into the palace with the imperial physician and personally fed him medicine. System reward: Ancient Kidney Body. He drew a turtle on a memorial. The Empress framed the memorial and hung it in her bedchamber: "My dear minister, your drawing is truly excellent!" System reward: Black Tortoise Armor. Someone impeached him for being arrogant. The Empress immediately turned hostile: "Drag him out and execute his entire family!" System reward: Dragon-Slaying Saber. Gu Changsheng: ??? The Empress is getting more and more outrageous. Gu Changsheng wanted to get married, and the Empress said, "Am I up to the task?" The entire court: Empress, please wake up! Empress: I will pamper my man myself, any objections? The system suddenly notified: [Detected that the host is being pampered to the heavens by the Empress, reward: Great Emperor-level cultivation + Investiture of the Gods + 300,000 Heavenly Soldiers] Gu Changsheng was speechless: I just wanted to be lazy, why are you still chasing after me? I really don't want to work hard anymore! [Smile][Admiration][Smile][Shy][Smirk][Smirk][Making a face]
