His Majesty Has a Headache Today, Too

His elder brother died, and Jiao Chenghe took the throne.

Nobody told him being emperor would be this exhausting!

The formidable Empress Dowager, a scheming imperial uncle, a sinister attendant, and aristocratic clans full of cunning...

Was there anyone who could give him a break?

And now some clown had appeared out of nowhere, claiming to have received revelations from Heaven, spreading rumors and secretly plotting treasonous crimes!

He babbled on and on, spouting some utterly nonsensical prophecy:

The Imperial Star is unstable; the dynasty is on the verge of collapse.

Some break their promises and die with regrets;

Some grow too powerful and flee to distant lands;

Some turn against their own, slaughtering their kin;

Listen to the nonsense coming out of his mouth! Not one word was to his liking!

He was practically begging to die!

Jiao Chenghe examined himself three times a day: Are my officials overworked? Are the villains still running rampant? Am I too kind?

Damn it, my head hurts!

The Son of Heaven is the child of Heaven, ruling the world in Heaven's name and standing as sovereign over all under Heaven.

One who acts in Heaven's stead does not speak of mercy.

Jiao Chenghe smiled pleasantly:

Forgiving you is Heaven's business. My job is to send you up to Heaven.

[Content warnings]

A no-CP story with a nontraditional young emperor protagonist. Political intrigue, mind games, and turning the tables, but fundamentally a comedy.

Everyone's intelligence equals the author's, and the author has practically none.

The protagonist is at the center. No CP, but there are multiple one-sided crushes, romantic relationships between side characters, marriages without love, sinister scheming, twisted and gloomy elements, and controversial topics and terminology.

The author might write any genre, orientation, or style. I'm open-minded and welcome corrections and professional advice.

Updates are generally consistent.

I'm Master Ye, so please give me lots of attention! (?)
