Crossover: Reborn in Ancient Times as the Emperor

Yu Li is an incredibly handsome man. Born into abject poverty, with a father who died young and a mother who ran off with another man, Yu Li gets by in the entertainment industry on his looks alone, despite his terrible acting. After refusing to become someone's kept man and getting blacklisted, being shot by a big shot in the underworld for wearing a green hat, and being rescued by a handsome young paparazzo, Yu Li takes a long, hard look at himself and decides to hide away in the countryside to smooth out his rough edges. Ten years later, just as his superb acting finally wins over the audience, Yu Li dies at his premiere because of a misunderstanding involving an oath he once made without thinking. He is then bound to a System and begins a long journey through life, transmigrating into the bodies of short-lived emperors from various dynasties. Top. Mary Sue.
