Why Does the Villainous Father Insist on Seeking Death?

Also known as: Cleaning Up After My Treacherous Father Every Day.

Liang Mochen had always been arrogant and overbearing, and no one dared cross him, all because his father held immense power at court.

One day, after getting into an argument and taking a blow to the head, he was finally informed by the System that he had transmigrated into a book.

In the book, titled A Woman's Beauty Brings Disaster, his father formed cliques and committed every manner of evil. Most notably, he framed a great general for colluding with the enemy and betraying the country, driving the general's son, Huo Sui, to raise the banner of rebellion. Their whole family met a miserable end.

By this point, his powerful father had already exiled Huo Sui's entire clan. Huo Sui would soon get in touch with his father's former subordinates and prepare to rebel.

Liang Mochen stared in disbelief: Doesn't my father know you're supposed to pull up the weeds by the roots?

System: Your father did it on purpose.

Liang Mochen: "..."

The System told him that his father, a great villain, had relentlessly persecuted people, throwing the court into chaos and leaving the people destitute. Foreign powers were also eyeing the Central Plains hungrily.

Huo Sui was supposed to turn the tide after ascending the throne, but there was no one useful at court, and his health had fallen apart during exile. He died suddenly in the palace two years later. To make matters worse, he left no heirs, and the court descended into complete chaos as everyone fought for the throne.

After that, foreign powers invaded the Central Plains, their brutality rivaling the chaos of the Five Barbarians' uprisings.

Liang Mochen looked at the title of the book: Well, my father certainly has guts. For the woman he loves, he's willing to overthrow an entire dynasty.

He tried to hold back, but couldn't. Shouldn't someone with such an extreme case of lovesickness be arrested and shot for five minutes? (╯°Д°)╯︵ ┻━┻

But his father was pretty good to him, so it wasn't impossible to save the situation.

So while his father plotted and framed people up front, Liang Mochen lent a helping hand behind the scenes. The ministers came to treat him like a revolutionary brick, moving him wherever he was needed.

He also had to boost agriculture and develop the economy, making sure the people had enough to eat and drink so they wouldn't feel like joining a rebellion.

With the character profiles provided by his System in hand, Liang Mochen thought happily, Fortunately, I can check everyone's resume. I'll summon everyone with talent to work for me, and kill anyone who does bad things.

After the foreign powers were wiped out and the people were living in peace, Liang Mochen was made emperor.

Liang Mochen sighed helplessly: You might not believe me, but all I wanted was to be a good-for-nothing rich kid.

A completed novel in a similar vein, featuring transmigration into ancient times: After Our Family Transmigrated, My Dad Rose to Become Chief Grand Secretary

Song Yingshu's family mysteriously transmigrated while on vacation, taking over the bodies of a family of three in ancient times.

They started out by splitting up the family household. Before they could even celebrate, though, they realized that what seemed like a fair division was actually full of hidden traps.

It took the family quite some effort to get out of trouble and move into the city.

To improve their lives, the family decided to write stories for money, starting with a mystery. Sure enough, the stories sold out as soon as they hit the market, and were a huge success, earning them plenty of silver.

They planned to capitalize on the popularity and turn it into a series, but someone ended up using one of their stories to solve a real case.

The family of three: &*#...?

To avoid trouble, they put storytelling on hold for the time being and decided to come up with a few small inventions and start a little business.

Who would have guessed that Song Yingshu's dad would get acquainted with the county magistrate, somehow become his secretary, and start using modern marketing tactics? He opened a candy factory and held candy contests, making their remote little county famous throughout the land.

Just as Song Yingshu was thinking that being the daughter of a minor official wasn't so bad, her dad started taking the imperial examinations again.

Song Yingshu interviewed her dad: You were a country boy in the morning and a court official by evening. What made you, a modern man, want to take the imperial examinations?

Song Changze replied helplessly: I didn't want to, either. But my useless younger brother has taken the exams for over twenty years and still can't even pass the lowest degree. The main thing is that my dad actually expects me to keep paying for his exams. Rather than throw money away, I figured I might as well take them myself.

So Song Changze kept coming in last and stood with the other successful candidates in the Golden Hall.

Song Changze was quite pleased with himself: To keep coming in last without failing is a skill in itself. It's not so different from winning the top spot in all six examinations.

Song Yingshu: ...I can't argue with that.

After arriving in the bustling capital, Song Yingshu thought that must be the end of it. Instead, her dad kept rising through the ranks, all the way to Chief Grand Secretary.

Song Yingshu: Since my laid-back dad is so capable, I guess I'll just lie back and enjoy the ride.
