The Sky Screen Says I Usurped the Throne?

After Ming Yun died, he transmigrated to ancient times.

The bad news: He was frail and sickly, and had congenital albinism, an ill omen.

The good news: His father was a member of the imperial clan, his mother was the only daughter of a general, and they were both favored by the emperor. No one dared mutter anything to his face.

The even better news: The emperor took pity on him, bestowed the title of heir apparent, and brought him into the palace to be raised alongside the crown prince. They got along wonderfully, so his future was secure!

Ming Yun: “There couldn’t be a happier script than this.”

But in the twenty-ninth year of Ningde, a giant sky screen suddenly appeared above, recounting the history of the dynasties. The whole realm erupted into debate.

“Today, we’ll begin with the late Ningde Emperor’s reign and the Three Princes’ Rebellion. Let’s see how Emperor Wen of Jin, Ming Yun, overthrew the tyrant, ascended the throne, and became a wise ruler for the ages and the historical fandom’s beloved!”

Ming Yun was sharing a family banquet with the emperor and crown prince: ...

Ming Yun: “Wait! Why am I the one who becomes emperor?!”

I’m just a member of the imperial clan!!

A little bonus scene:

Sky screen: “Coming our way now: Emperor Wen of Jin, Emperor Shizu of Jin, the Jin Dynasty’s first ‘architect’ who saved a collapsing empire, the beloved of emperors, a judge in the contest for history’s ten most beautiful but tragic figures, the hottest topic in historical fandom, the person who introduced people across China to a love of white-haired men, the most popular choice for the male lead in transmigration novels... What? You like Emperor Wen of Jin too? You’ll be my friend for life!”

Ming Yun: “...There isn’t room for that many people here ^^.”

What do you mean I usurped the throne?

I was graciously allowing the throne to welcome me!

Welcome!

P.S.

1. This is a lighthearted power fantasy. The setting and systems are entirely fictional.

2. The protagonist will become emperor in this life too. He’ll need a little time to change his mindset early on, but not long!

3. Ming Yun (Yun).
