The History Buff Ship Was Fake!

Feng Yu was handsome, well-educated, and had a respectable job. In everyone's eyes, he was a successful young man living the good life. He had a secret hobby: writing historical fanfiction. Ever since watching the television series The Son of the Great Qian, he had shipped Emperor Taizong of Great Qian with his chief minister. A wise ruler and a virtuous minister, rising from humble beginnings, sharing hardship, and choosing each other wholeheartedly. Feng Yu was so obsessed that he produced fanworks nonstop and became the fandom's top creator. He also fought online every day with fans of the rival, anti-pairing camp, arguing so viciously it was like they were trying to beat each other's brains out. Feng Yu: I'm Chinese! Chinese people know that breaking up the canon pairing is a mortal sin, right?! Fate is unpredictable. A fire broke out at Feng Yu's house, and all the fanbooks he had planned to bring to a convention were burned to ashes. Feng Yu was so heartbroken he could barely breathe. Fortunately, there was still time before the convention to reprint them. What he didn't know was that the burned fanbooks had arrived in the underworld as offerings, where they were presented to Emperor Taizong of Great Qian himself. Taizong: “What a curious offering. I've never seen anything like it. Read it aloud for me.” Five minutes later. The emperor's face had turned bright red. He felt that posterity had seriously misunderstood him. That night, Feng Yu was working on his next chapter when he looked up and saw Emperor Taizong standing beside him. “Young man, stop writing! The chief minister and I were not in that kind of relationship!” Feng Yu's pupils shook violently. “Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The couple I ship can't possibly be fake!” Emperor Taizong was beside himself with indignation. “Why would I lie to you? The one I loved all along was actually the Great General...” Feng Yu's vision went dark. “The sky is falling! The rival ship was the real one?!” #The Emperor Ships Couples With Me# #The Emperor Personally Shoves Fanfood Into My Mouth# #The Emperor Says He'll Exterminate My Clan If I Don't Ship Him, What Do I Do? Help, I'm in a Hurry# Popular actor Zhong Rong had a secret: he was a history-fandom enthusiast. Several years earlier, he had appeared in the historical television series The Son of the Great Qian. To get to know his role better, Zhong Rong read various historical records of the Great Qian dynasty. He became not only a devoted fan of Emperor Taizong, but also... Started shipping Emperor Taizong with the Great General. In his spare time, Zhong Rong used a secret identity to produce fanworks nonstop and trade insults with the rival fandom's top creator. His agent worried every day that his identity would be exposed and his career ruined. One day, Zhong Rong disguised himself and attended a fan convention, where he ran into the rival fandom's top creator. Zhong Rong thought the other guy was going to challenge him to a real-life fight, and had already assumed a fighting stance. Instead, the other man grabbed his hand, eyes brimming with tears. “Teacher, you're so lucky! Your ship is canon!” “Teacher, I'll take this one, this one, and this one. And give me one of the freebies too.” “Teacher, could I get an autograph made out to Emperor Taizong, Divine, Martial, Sagely, Filial, and Fortunate Ruler of Great Qian? I'm buying it for a friend.” Zhong Rong: ? A friend from the underworld? Theme: Strive to change your destiny.
