My Ancient-Era Lord Followed Me to the Modern Day

The Ministers from Ancient Times Followed Me to the Modern Era [This novel will go premium on June 8] (A chaotic, everyone-adorns-the-protagonist comedy, with a laid-back protagonist and parents who push their kids to succeed. Cover character design kindly sponsored by the artist Tian Yanyan.) Xie Yun thought he was just an ordinary high school student. He lived the same routine every day and only wanted to get into an average university, then coast through life as a happy layabout. Until... His ministers from ancient times transmigrated into the modern era! The first to arrive was the chief eunuch. The moment he saw Xie Yun, he burst into tears of sympathy. How had His Majesty fallen so far that he could barely cover himself? The place where His Majesty went to the bathroom wasn't even one-tenth the size of the old one. Your Majesty, how you've suffered. Xie Yun: ... The second was his Grand Tutor, the greatest scholar of his age. As soon as he arrived, he wanted to take charge of Xie Yun's studies and become his teacher. To achieve this, he published papers in top academic journals and took the teacher certification exam at the ripe old age of seventy. Xie Yun: The feudal dynasty fell hundreds of years ago. My family doesn't have a throne to inherit. Please stop pushing me to succeed! Grand Tutor: If your family has no estate, I can build one! The third to arrive was the Minister of Revenue, the country's money man, who immediately set about trying to improve everyone's lives. Xie Yun, who thought life was pretty good as it was: ... First, let's read the criminal code. No tax evasion. The fourth was his Grand Protector, a great general who had fought for the country for many years and taught him martial arts. After arriving, he was appalled by Xie Yun's physical condition and forced him to practice martial arts every day. Xie Yun: ... Then one day, this bunch of old fogies laid eyes on the Regent. The ministers: The Regent is a wolf in sheep's clothing! Your Majesty, you must strike first and root him out! Xie Yun: What nonsense. The Regent is the only person in this world who's good to me. He never forces me to study! Xie Yun immediately turned around with his rice bowl and threw himself into the Regent's arms. The Regent gazed at the person he'd longed for across two lifetimes, overjoyed. Then he turned around and sent the chief eunuch off to become an intangible cultural heritage craftsman, made the general a security guard, tricked the Grand Tutor into pursuing a PhD, and sent the Minister of Revenue, a walking jinx in his profession, to work for a rival company. The ministers, forced to work every day: Regent! You're such a bastard! P.S. The ministers who come aren't limited to the ones in the blurb _(:з)∠)_. The order might not be the same, either. Content notes: 1. Everyone is a goofball. 2. There are no common triggers. If you don't like it, please stop reading in time. 3. Not sure whether there will be side couples, but going by my usual habits, even if there are, they'll be relegated to the extras. The whole novel serves the protagonist and the plot. 4. I hope you enjoy reading. This is genuinely an old trope from ten years ago _(:з)∠)_, seen in Rooftop Prince and The Emperor's Harem. Upcoming: Taking My Dog of an Emperor Dad to a Parenting Variety Show Blurb: After Xie Ling transmigrated into a book, he gained a dog of a father. His dad was a renowned, diligent, people-loving sage emperor, but he really was a dog too: an exemplary ruler who combined a sharp tongue, ingratitude, ruthless methods, and extraordinary talent. With an emperor like that for a father, Xie Ling went straight from a 996 work schedule to 007. He went from being a useless good-for-nothing to an outstanding prince, skilled at everything from horseback riding to archery and even able to ride with the army for hundreds of miles. But... Xie Ling: If I could, I'd really love to go back to modern times and be a useless layabout! So Xie Ling returned to the modern era, never imagining that his dad would come along too. The little child wore a splendid dragon robe, and a hint of panic showed on his solemn face. Who am I? Where am I? Xie Ling looked at his shrunken emperor dad and laughed, scooping him up. "You used to be my dad. Now I'm your dad. From now on, we'll be a conjugate father-son pair!" Dog Emperor: ??? Xie Ling: Now, off to kindergarten with you! You used to be a dog to me, so now it's my turn to be a dog to you! I'll use the core socialist values to give you, a feudal emperor, a thorough education! I'll teach you how to behave. The way you exploited me deserves to get you strung up on a lamppost! And so Xie Ling sent the Dog Emperor to kindergarten. (Mostly a silly family story.) Theme: Fulfill your responsibilities and grow into an outstanding person.
