Game streamer Wen Qi
one day transmigrated into the game "Raising the Young Emperor" and was bound to the Imperial Tutor System.
From then on, he worked diligently every day, raising the little emperor according to the walkthrough and exhausting himself over state affairs.
To clean up the court and implement new policies, and to raise money, quell bandits, and launch a northern campaign,
he didn't hesitate to ruin his reputation and get himself mired in trouble, becoming a power-hungry treacherous minister in the eyes of the scholars.
He knew it would be difficult to escape unscathed, and had already carefully planned how to fake his death.
Then, in the year the young emperor turned eighteen and was about to take charge of the government, just as the game was nearing a perfect ending,
one day the game suddenly developed a bug.
A melodramatic tragedy about an emperor x imperial tutor was struck into the little emperor's mind like a bolt of lightning.
The little emperor, who had been perfectly normal until then,
began to believe that he had been reborn to make amends to the beautiful imperial tutor, who had loved him without hope and died young.
From that day on,
nothing was normal anymore.
During court attendance,
the little emperor gazed at him with pity and ordered someone to bring a chair and a charcoal brazier.
"It's cold, and A Qi is afraid of the cold. You have an old injury in your knee, so how can I make you stand for so long?"
While working overtime to review memorials,
the little emperor, heartbroken, simply carried him off to rest.
"A Qi mustn't overexert himself. I'll take care of everything here."
When fresh fruit arrived at full gallop from Lingnan,
the little emperor waved his hand and sent it all to the chancellor's residence.
"A Qi doesn't have much of an appetite. These fruits are the only things he can eat more than a few bites of."
Wen Qi: When the hare is dead, the hounds are cooked; when the birds are gone, the bow is put away. He's trying to smother me with praise! I knew this day would come!
The great cause wasn't accomplished yet, but his life was more important. Wen Qi decisively decided to feign illness and resign, then wait and see.
He submitted his resignation and waited and waited,
but the little emperor didn't approve his retirement.
Instead, the little emperor came to his bedside,
his eyes already red before he could even speak.
Don't go. I love you too.
Wen Qi: ?!
Wait, wasn't this supposed to be a nation-building story?!

1. Cool and arrogant on the surface, secretly a lovestruck, imaginative sweetheart gong x an otherworldly, radiant beauty and hopeless romantic shou
2. Both gong and shou are stunning, beloved by everyone, but the romance is strictly 1v1, with both sides head over heels for each other
3. Important: the gong's feelings for the shou didn't come about because he got a tragic romance novel mixed up in his head
