We Swapped Bodies, and I Turned the Emperor into a Top Student [Ancient to Modern]

Chi Ying studied like crazy, neglecting sleep and meals, and his grades improved at breakneck speed so he could get into the advanced class in his second year of high school. Then, the day before the class placement exam, he transmigrated.

Shen Wang schemed at every turn and planned meticulously to bring down his brothers, steadily rising in status. Then, the day before his coronation, he transmigrated.

Two people from different eras swapped bodies and got bound to a System?

“There's no time! Help me ascend the throne first!”

“No, you have to help me take my exam first.”

“This prince isn’t good at this. Are you testing the classics or arithmetic?”

“...”

They worked so hard to build their careers, only to be sent right back to square one.

The ministers realized their newly crowned emperor had been acting strangely lately.

Every night, His Majesty would lock himself in his room, leave the lights blazing, and mutter to himself while staring into a little bronze mirror.

This is downright sinister, the ministers mused.

But before long, something even more sinister happened.

After a busy day, the usually arrogant emperor took off his imperial robes, sat at his desk with a book in hand, and cried out to the heavens:

“Damn it, why is math so hard?”

Wild and carefree, loyal puppy of an emperor gong x fake gentleman, real scheming genius shou

“Look at these distant mountains and vast seas, so blessed with nature’s gifts. Aren’t they all part of my empire?”

“Done admiring the scenery? Then go do your practice problems!”

“Ridiculous. I am the emperor, the most exalted man in the realm. How could I... What do you mean I failed math?”

One-on-one, devoted to each other, sweet throughout. Ancient-to-modern transmigration, with their souls swapping in the early chapters. After they switch back, the gong comes to the shou’s modern world. Most of the story takes place in the modern era. The cover features the gong.

(Important) This is not an ordinary school story. It’s a modern fantasy in a partially fictional setting, involving past lives and present lives.

“The chance encounter we thought was an accident was actually a reunion, arranged long ago after ten thousand years of solitude.”
