The Emperor Is a Transmigrator Too

Xiu Mu transmigrated into the body of a concubine-born son of the prime minister's household. Nobody favored him, his parents didn't care for him, and his brothers bullied him. Relying on modern knowledge, he threw himself into infrastructure projects and made a name for himself. At court, he thrived, humiliating scumbags and delivering satisfying face-slapping after face-slapping. He always thought he was absolutely the chosen one, just like the male lead of some web novel. Until one day. Xiu Mu: "Your Majesty, what a coincidence. You transmigrated here too?" The Emperor: "..." Xiu Mu: "Hehe, how come you never helped your fellow countryman before?" The Emperor: "...How do you think you passed those terrible exam essays?" Only then did Xiu Mu realize he might have been cast as the male lead's sidekick. So he could only keep working diligently for the country and help the male lead consolidate his power, hoping to cling to his coattails and live a decent life. Later, when he climbed off the imperial bed with an aching back, he fell into deep thought. Had he somehow ended up in one of those romance-novel plots after all...? #A look at the science-and-engineering guy with absolutely terrible literary skills# #Mom, that candidate is flirting with the examiner!# #It's exhausting being the emperor and secretly helping this science student who knows nothing but math, physics, and chemistry# #When fellow countrymen meet, tears well in their eyes# #And while we're at it, let's be honest with each other in bed# This should be a very lighthearted, ridiculous story with a silly premise, haha (not really).
