I Really Don't Want to Be Emperor

Next up: Seven Killing Stars, with a spirit master as the bottom and an evil ghost as the top. Blurb at the end~ - Ying Tianqi transmigrates into the body of Ying Yi, a famously inept emperor who lost his country in history. This man is an incompetent, immoral ruler, extravagant and debauched, who persecutes loyal officials. In the end, the enemy army breaks through the city gates and hangs him there for three days. His dynasty falls with him. System: “Automatically accepting quest for Host: Bring peace and prosperity to the realm, and become an emperor for the ages!” Ying Tianqi: “?” He silently reviews the timeline. What lies ahead is Empress Dowager Chen, the most powerful puppet master in the Great Xuan; the Imperial Preceptor, who rides the emperor into court; enemy states eyeing the throne; a general always ready to rebel; and a miserable life that ends with his head and body separated, a fate he can already see coming. With the worst possible start, Ying Tianqi falls silent for a moment, then waves to the general nearby: “General Fang, you don’t need to rebel. Come over here. Take the throne and be emperor in my place.” “?” To spare the general any trouble, Ying Tianqi immediately slams his head into the ground and blacks out. Who would have guessed that when he opens his eyes, he’s still on the same familiar throne, at the same familiar point in time? System: “Ending did not receive a perfect score. Restarting game.” ?? Poisoned by a spy who slipped poison into his wine. Too stupid. Restart! Stabbed to death in bed by an assassin in the middle of the night. Too pathetic. Restart! Pushed off a cliff while traveling incognito. Too careless. Restart! Want to escape this predicament? There’s only one way: Become a wise ruler renowned through the ages. Ying Tianqi: SOS! _ Fang Nansi is a great general of the Great Xuan dynasty. He expanded its borders and earned countless merits, only to be killed by a storm of arrows when the tides of power shifted. After that, he was trapped at the end of the Xuan dynasty, watching his country fall again and again, powerless to change a thing. He thought this must be what it means to be denied rebirth for all eternity. Until one day, at a certain point in one of his countless cycles, the man on the throne suddenly changed personality. Fang Nansi knew he wasn’t the original emperor. Most likely, he was another poor, broken soul trapped in this farce. The poor soul often stands on the throne and cries out that he wants to be a wise emperor for the ages. When he gets drunk, he clutches a bottle of wine and sobs that he can’t go on like this and really doesn’t want to be emperor. The poor soul also often dies unexpectedly, but soon comes back in perfect health, then drags Fang Nansi along to take down the imperial relatives, crush the foreign powers, and revive the Great Xuan. Fang Nansi plays along, figuring it’s one small bit of entertainment in his otherwise boring life. One day, the poor soul makes another grand promise, just like he always does. He draws a strange map and affectionately drapes an arm over Fang Nansi’s shoulder: “General, if you join my side, then Eastern Europe, South Africa, and North America will all belong to us! I’ll conquer them all for you!” Fang Nansi glances at him. “Do you intend to personally lead the expedition, Your Majesty, or should I conquer them for you?” Ying Tianqi is momentarily at a loss for words. “Never mind that! I don’t want to be emperor anyway. When the time comes, I’ll give the throne to you. You’ll be the rightful ruler of the country, and I’ll stay behind to support you. What’s that phrase again...” Fang Nansi looks at him and raises an eyebrow. “...Master of the imperial harem?” “?” You’ve got some serious issues. A cunning, thrill-seeking drama queen of a bottom x A ruthless, taciturn, loyal dog of a top who follows the rules of evil One-on-one in body and soul, focused on the bottom, happy ending Blurb screenshot saved for the record 2022/3/12 ---Pre-release: Seven Killing Stars. Please add it to your favorites!--- Spirit master bottom × evil ghost top Luo Sang is a history major at A University. For his graduation thesis, he goes on a field trip to a desolate cliff on the edge of the city. The subject of his thesis is Qi Changying, a spirited young general from a thousand years ago. Unfortunately, fate cut his life short, and he disappeared from the historical records far too soon. The cliff is rumored to be the place where Qi Changying died. In the words of spirit masters, a barren place like this, steeped in deathly energy, has bad “feng shui” and is prone to attracting unclean things. But Luo Sang isn’t afraid. First, he’s a spirit master, and terrifyingly powerful. Second, he was born unable to see ghosts. In theory, he can’t run into them, so there’s nothing to be afraid of Until he accidentally falls into a cave partway down the cliff and seems to snap something in the chaos. At some point, fierce winds begin to howl through the cave, and a bone-chilling cold drives away the summer heat. The next moment, something snaps as if a taut string has broken, and a source unknown sends a torrent of resentment surging forth. When Luo Sang can see clearly again, there is someone else in the cave besides him. The “person” has long, disheveled hair, tattered robes, and a body covered in bloody marks. Heavy chains bind all four limbs, and a gloomy, ghostly aura hangs over his handsome face. Luo Sang urgently confirms two things. First, the man is saturated with yin energy, resentment, blood, and ghostly aura. He must have died in an appallingly gruesome way, and his soul must have been sealed here for at least a thousand years to have accumulated such intense resentment. In short: a thousand-year-old vengeful ghost. Second... Luo Sang glances at the spirit tablet sealing him. Three characters are just barely visible on it: Qi Changying. “?” Good news: The rumors are true. This really is where Qi Changying died. Bad news: It’s about to be where he dies, too! - A love story between a human and a ghost (not really) A modern paranormal episodic series A real spirit master and a fake evil ghost Catching ghosts, solving cases, and falling in love A “blind” spirit master bottom who responds to every word but never follows through on anything x A spirited, high-minded general top who is as unstoppable as the moon shining over the great river Theme: Stand on your own two feet and be self-reliant
