I Became the Black Lotus Imperial Tutor in a Power Struggle Novel

Qiu Yiran transmigrated into a book, becoming the scheming Imperial Tutor in a political intrigue novel. In the book, he was a master of palace intrigues. He not only fooled the old emperor into entrusting him with assisting the young emperor and made himself chief minister, but also seized control of the government, forcing the young emperor protagonist to endure in silence for ten years, feign madness and foolishness, and remain unable to rule. After the young emperor, Xie Yuanjia, took power, the Imperial Tutor was condemned for extravagance, usurping authority, and misgovernment. His whole family was executed, and he himself was torn apart by five horses. Qiu Yiran's reaction: Reading it was fun, but transmigrating into the book is hell! He's really a good person! The problem was, he'd arrived at the worst possible moment. He'd already defeated the other regents and forced the Empress Dowager to retreat for now. The young emperor obeyed his every order and didn't dare complain. He dominated the entire court, with countless allies and absolute power. Qiu Yiran: "..." I'm way too powerful. I'm scared, I'm scared. In the original story, the original owner was overly arrogant, skilled at political schemes but incompetent at governing people's lives. By the middle and later parts of the story, the realm was in turmoil, with northern nomads watching hungrily, southern pirates colluding with local chieftains, and rebels rising up because they had no way to survive... What a mess! In the original story, the protagonist was brilliant from a young age. After enduring for years as emperor, he seized power in a single stroke and spent his whole life pouring his heart into governing the realm, eventually becoming a wise ruler of a golden age. But as Qiu Yiran looked at the young Empress Dowager, who was choking back sobs and lost in grief over the old emperor's death, and the scrawny young emperor who barely reached his waist, he could only accept his fate and pull himself together. Open trade routes, improve public administration, reform the laws. While the entire court was standing by, he also had to carefully educate his successor, the young emperor. He didn't want to toil his whole life. Governing the realm was better left to the protagonist chosen by fate. So, years later, with peace reigning across the land and the young emperor grown up, Qiu Yiran made thorough preparations, faked his death successfully, and got ready to begin a carefree life of seclusion. The young emperor soon caught up with a group of people in tow. Almost in tears, he buried his face against Qiu Yiran's knees. "Grand Tutor, how could you leave me behind? I'm scared." Qiu Yiran: "..." Stop pretending. You're the one who scares me. Don't think I didn't see that outrageous decree of yours, the one saying you'd make me Empress. P.S. A raising-children story: a carefree Imperial Tutor with the outward appearance of a gentleman and the heart of a scholar x a black-bellied ruler who knows how to act vulnerable Theme: Keep the whole realm in your heart.
