A transmigrator who occasionally slacks off vs. an unscrupulous, ambitious schemer
"First lesson of transmigrating: Stay away from the future tyrant."
"Practical conclusion: Failed, and fell for him."
“Yang Guang is not my destined one. The history books have already condemned him as a tyrant.”
But the year I transmigrated into the body of Empress Xiao, the Sui Emperor Yang Guang had not yet taken the throne. He was merely Prince of Jin, Yang Guang.
I knew he would bring down the dynasty and die on a rainy night in Jiangdu. After his death, I'd have to take turns being the wife of six men.
So my plan was simple: stay away from him, and if I couldn't escape, turn him into a wise ruler.
But the whole plan fell apart at the first step.
I avoided him, he pursued me, and I couldn't get away.
So I gritted my teeth and moved on to Plan Two.
I quoted the classics to urge him to govern with benevolence, telling him that the ruler was a boat and the people were water.
He listened attentively, made half-hearted changes, then asked me, “If the boat sinks, can we drink all the water?”
Then he spent three days and three nights devising a new civil service examination system, only for a group of old men to rip it apart in front of everyone, stomp on it, and call him a menace who would bring ruin to the country.
He fell silent for three seconds, then gave a faint laugh.
“Since reason doesn't work,”
“then let's kill them all. Exterminate their entire clans.”
I lunged forward and grabbed his sleeve with all my strength. “Your Highness! You can't be so heavy-handed! There are ways to handle this!”
He turned to look at me, his eyes as clear as a snowy mountain, though his words were bloody.
“Ways? How can you govern properly when you're surrounded by vermin?”
Later, during the coup at Jiangdu Palace, the rebels looped a white silk cord around his neck.
The System shrieked: "Warning! If you save the tyrant, you'll share his infamy for generations!"
I looked at his lonely silhouette in the rainy night and tore up the history book that recorded only the ending.
To hell with what posterity thinks. I would make history remember that someone had once risked everything for another possibility.
[Reading Guide]
One-on-one romance, happy ending
[Content Warnings]
1. Not a power fantasy about a mighty heroine: the heroine is level-headed but soft-hearted, and the hero is cruel, with no attempt to whitewash him. His character is unwavering.
2. Romance: A clear-eyed descent into passion, with confusion and struggle along the way.
3. Political storyline: Intense and grounded in reality. Reform comes with bloodshed, and ideals require a road paved with bones.
4. Male lead: A truly unhinged careerist. When his lovesick side kicks in, he can wipe out an entire household and still remember to bring you the sweetest sesame candy.
5. Historical setting: The broad strokes follow history, but many details are original. History buffs, please read with an open mind.
Also known as: "The Years I Struggled to Survive Under the Tyrant, Only to Become His White Moonlight", "How to Talk a Tyrant into Becoming a Wise Ruler, Only to Be Talked into His Arms", "I Want Both His Empire and Him".
Message: Light a spark in the cracks of history.
Just like this, I saw the two sons falling in love. I don't know why my mind suddenly flashed back to the scene when His Highness Jin Wang said that he wanted to see Xiao Jin every day and wanted her to come every night. It was so melancholy. The cp I was trying to do finally came to a successful conclusion. Their story is indeed over, but it also seems to be buried in the pile of old papers (crying)
I'm banging!!! Immortal product!!!!! I finished reading it in one go. Why do I always see such beautiful articles in the final week and not review them at all? The author's writing is so good that I cried several times. I really like modern times and if, I really want to watch the movie, I want to see the later records of if, I really want to read the forum, I'm sorry, I am a layman, I really want to read it, or the sky screen, etc., It's really great to read it in one go!!!! Looking forward to the author's next article!!! 💪 💪 🤩 🤩 🤩
Thank you very much for allowing such a good book to be read. From the beginning of reading to the end of the full text, it is like experiencing history from the perspective of Lin Wan/Xiao Jin. We used to learn the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the first grade of junior high school when we were studying history. The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was also a very popular TV series at that time. But at that time, what we saw was the rule of Zhenguan, the king of heaven who came to the dynasty; Zhihong Zhenguan, the rise of Kaiyuan Wu Zetian, the first female emperor in history; one of the four beauties who faded away from the beauty of Mawei slope... Later, when I studied modern history and read relevant works, I also thought countless times whether this would be like that. A young n person had made countless assumptions and retrospectives about this. Later, when I got older, I learned a word called historical nihilism. History is materialistic. Mazhe said that it is the people who create history. A single person can only speed up or slow down the progress but cannot stop the flow of history. For a long, long time, I no longer think about the sandbox of established things. After all, it is better to "learn from the sorrow" than to think about this or that possibility. During my cultural journey, I once wrote a very emotional article about the theft of Dunhuang treasures. I may not remember how sad and regretful I felt at that time. Until I read your book, I seemed to remember the shock in the heart of that child who read those things about the Ming Dynasty for the first time. At that time, Teacher Mingyue said that history is actually a story. Everyone who has ever lived is not a simple xx person in various serious history books. They did xx things in xx years. History is too grand a narrative. When the number of casualties in a battle in history books is just a number, it is like a distant cry that cannot be heard. But when he had a specific name: Brother Zhuzi, Brother Wang, Brother Wang's wife, the child in his wife's belly... Any death or injury was unbearable. Misunderstanding is the fate of the expresser, but your work is really excellent. The thinking and hesitation contained in it moved me. I especially hope that you can keep writing. I am also looking forward to pre-ordering the next book!
