My Country Is Doomed, and There's a Countdown? What Do I Do?

This story has a few commonly criticized issues concerning baby behavior and the Empress's emotional arc. When the author has some free time during the National Day holiday, they'll fix them together~

Please save my upcoming story, "After Summoning the Male Lead, I Securely Become Empress." The blurb is at the bottom. (My new story, "The Phoenix Man Gets a Second Chance (Quick Transmigration)," is currently being serialized.)

Chu Yu transmigrates into the third prince of Great Chu. His father, the emperor, is gentle and handsome, his mother, the empress, is kind and virtuous, and his two older brothers dote on him every day.

Don't ask. He's got life on easy mode! Except for an annoying System that pesters him with missions every day.

[Ding! The Study Hard and Strengthen the Nation System is officially online. Astronomy, geography, poetry, literature, the Confucian classics, science, military engineering... You can learn anything, as long as you want to!]

Chu Yu lazily rolled over. "Oh, I don't want to learn."

[System: The third watch's lamp and the fifth watch's rooster, this is the time for a young man to study!]

Chu Yu: You keep telling me to study, but I'm still not listening. Keep it up and you'll be the one going bald and dropping dead.

It wasn't until Chu Yu was five, when an envoy from Liang came to court, that he realized he had transmigrated into a book.

The heroine was a princess of Great Liang, and the hero was the crown prince of Qi. They hid their identities, fell in love despite being sworn enemies, and after a series of passionate, angsty twists where she ran and he chased, they were unable to escape each other. Liang and Qi then formed a marriage alliance, destroyed Great Chu together, and unified the realm.

So his father, mother, brothers, and even his whole country were all damned cannon fodder. If he remembered correctly, Great Chu would fall in ten years!

Chu Yu's lips twitched, his childish face full of worry.

[What do I do if my country is on a countdown to destruction?]

Obviously, he had to drag everyone else down with him and get them all to study hard and strengthen the nation~

And so... the emperor got a wise-ruler System, the crown prince dreamed up a strategy for training troops, the Imperial College received a set of educational guidelines from the heavens, the Minister of Works found an ancient manual on crafting weapons, and everyone got busy studying, studying, and studying some more!

Blurb for the upcoming story below

"After Summoning the Male Lead, I Securely Become Empress"

Mu Shu was a recent college graduate in the modern world, but after falling asleep, she woke up as the newly enthroned empress of the Mu Dynasty, a dynasty that never existed in history.

With the regent watching her like a hawk, ministers scheming against her all around, enemy armies at the borders, and one natural disaster after another at home...

It's a hellish start. How is she supposed to survive until tomorrow?

She threw herself into each day with the same determination she'd had while preparing for the college entrance exams, struggling to handle everything, until she happened to discover that she had a special ability

She could summon the male lead from any novel she had ever read!

And so...

[Report! The armies of Zhou are at our borders, and we've already lost three cities!]

Mu Shu gasped: Summon the war god male lead!

[Your Majesty! There's been a terrible disaster in Yuyang Commandery, and the plague is spreading. We must quarantine the city at once!]

Mu Shu was frantic: Summon the immortal doctor male lead!

[Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue really doesn't have a single silver left. This old minister has no more to give.]

Mu Shu rolled her eyes: Summon the business-strategy male lead!

The ministers of the Mu Dynasty soon realized that their empress was a jack-of-all-trades who knew everything. How terrifying!

The male leads all looked at the woman gazing at them with such hope. Damn it, when is she going to learn? I want to go home!
