Also known as: "You're the Only One in the World Who Wants to Build a Career, So You Turn Around and Head for the Mountains"

"A young unicorn brings forth jade, excels in all three examinations, tops the Hanlin Academy, and walks the path of a gentleman."

That is you, Li He You.

You're so outstanding, yet the System tells you to choose one of three people to support in becoming emperor.

You look at the options: the current crown prince, a noble scion, and the head of the capital guard. Without hesitation, you choose the first.

Come on, everyone knows the crown prince is the emperor's favorite. This is clearly easy mode!

Wait, what do you mean you can give up the throne and only want to spend your life with me, just the two of us?
