I Admire the True One

Special Note: This is not a historical novel or an infinite-flow game. It features a self-romance between two versions of the emperor and draws on the “I long to be a True Man” reference. [In the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shi Huang's reign. Lu Sheng said to the First Emperor: “A ruler should sometimes travel incognito to ward off evil spirits. Once the evil spirits are driven away, True Men will arrive.” The First Emperor then said, “I long to be a True Man. From now on, I shall call myself ‘True Man’ and no longer ‘We.’”] The next day, he woke to find heaven and earth transformed. Terror had descended upon the lands of the Qin Empire. His ears were filled with a cacophony of prompts, and beside him stood a person-shaped being, ethereal as an immortal and almost identical to him... [Ding-dong! Ruler of All Under Heaven binding in progress. The rules have descended.] [Ding-dong! The keyword “I long to be a True Man” has been triggered successfully. The Host's wish, “True Man,” has been summoned.] [Ding-dong! Welcome to the Realm of the Strange game. We hope you enjoy playing! (*^▽^*)] After hearing this, Ying Zheng abruptly turned to look at the person who had appeared, then glanced at the world outside, shrouded in ghostly shadows. Wonderful. Demons and monsters are running rampant, and a True Man has appeared. The Qin Empire is beyond saving! Before the True Man descended, He had no form, no shape, and no consciousness. One day, He was summoned into being. The first thing He saw was Ying Zheng, handsome and imposing, with displeasure written all over his face. In an instant, all of Ying Zheng's information merged into His body, giving Him shape. Even the heart that had never existed began beating for the person before Him. Could this feeling, in the human world, be called “love”? Reader's Guide: 1. A rules-based horror story, an experiment with a new genre. 2. Pure romance between Ying Zheng and his own double!! 3. Sort of a spiritual qi revival awakening story (probably?). The later plot follows the path to immortality, so don't get hung up on age! 4. It won't be very long. Most likely a short story (?) Theme: Loving yourself is the greatest love in the world!
