After he transmigrates, he gains a happy family, a powerful patron, and, eventually, a good friend with whom he can conquer the world. His life couldn't be more perfect. Then one day, his perfect friend confesses to him. Xiao Anran: ... One day, Zhao Jing, now emperor, suddenly says to Xiao Anran, "You've made such great contributions. I think you deserve a promotion." Xiao Anran, on guard: "I'm not becoming empress." Zhao Jing smiles. "Of course not. How about I make you Imperial Preceptor?" Xiao Anran relaxes a little. "Th-That might be all right." A legend has long been told in Yanjing: Once upon a time, there was a young master in Yanjing, gifted and accomplished, elegant and handsome, who could outmaneuver anyone. He was the dream man of countless young women in the capital. A visitor from out of town asks eagerly, "And then? Who did he end up with?" The people of Yanjing fall silent. "He's the Imperial Preceptor now." The visitor nods in understanding. "Oh..." [The history books record only one Imperial Preceptor. He and the emperor of his time spent their lives as bachelors and were buried together. Every later official history, unofficial account, and biography simply assumes they were a couple...] With three dynasties vying for supremacy, small states struggling to survive, and war raging at the borders, watch as a transmigrated young spirit master and an overlooked prince of the inner palace join forces to conquer the realm and fall in love.

The top has a serious split personality, and the novel is named after that, so there's no need to overthink it sometimes. -Blurb for the upcoming Book Transmigration novel about a young prince, - Interstellar Conquest tells the story of a prince's revenge.
