When Xun Xinxue opened her eyes, she discovered she had transmigrated to the Han dynasty. All she wanted was to lie flat.
By chance, she picked up a small, semi-transparent beast. It was lazy, greedy, and a chatterbox. It slept for eleven shichen a day and could eat nightmares.
She named it Xiao Meng.
Xiao Meng said, "I can eat dreams, and I can make them, too. Your dreams taste pretty good."
Xun Xinxue asked, "What else can you do?"
Xiao Meng rolled over. "I can let a little of your dream slip out."
"Who gets to see it?"
"The people who miss you."
The Rebellion of the Lü Clan had just ended. Liu Heng, the Prince of Dai, paced outside Chang'an for three days, not daring to enter the palace.
That night, he dreamed of a woman holding a blue beast and muttering, "The Prince of Jibei is going to rebel, and the Prince of Huainan is restless, too. Being emperor really isn't easy for Liu Heng..."
He woke with a start and summoned his retainers. "A divine maiden appeared in my dream and named me emperor!"
Retainer: "???" He's already calling himself "I" like an emperor?
"Your Majesty," Xun Xinxue tried to explain, "I was talking in my sleep."
Emperor Wen's eyes lit up. "The divine maiden's words in a dream are a message from heaven, too."
"..." Fine.
From then on, Xun Xinxue lived a life of "helping govern by day and listening to Xiao Meng grumble at night."
She said, "The Xiongnu are going to invade the border," and Emperor Wen prepared the defenses in advance.
She said, "Don't let Jia Yi die too young," and Emperor Wen brought the talented scholar back to his side.
She said, "Don't rush to strip the vassal kings of their power," and Emperor Wen... didn't listen, but remembered it.
She repeated whatever came to her in her dreams, and in the end Emperor Wen held her hand and said, "Every word the divine maiden spoke back then was a pearl of wisdom."
Xun Xinxue: "...I was talking in my sleep."
Emperor Wen smiled. "I know. But I believed you."
[Little Scene]
Xun Xinxue: "Tonight I'm going to talk to Emperor Wen in a dream."
Xiao Meng: "No. He hasn't been thinking about you today. There's no bridge into his dream."
Xun Xinxue: "...Then what about Jia Yi?"
Xiao Meng: "Jia Yi is dreaming about Qu Yuan and crying. Do you want to intrude?"
Xun Xinxue: "..."
