The main story is told in third person. Going premium on February 4, with a huge update of over 27,000 characters.
[Pre-order: I Become an Emperor for the Ages with a Gossip System. Blurb at the end.]
Main Story Blurb: Ever since I was little, my dear mother, Ms. Zhao, has told me, "The waters of this world run deep. You're too young to handle them."
I asked, "Then what should I do to handle them? Grow up?"
Ms. Zhao: "You need to learn to keep a few tricks up your sleeve."
Hide a trump card, pretend to be weak; make a dozen plans, and play the innocent bystander.
As I grew up, I realized Ms. Zhao was right. The world outside was dangerous.
And when the spiritual qi revival began, the world's danger level went straight from normal mode to hell mode. Watching the death rate soar, I became even more certain that keeping my head down was essential.
Keep a hundred tricks in reserve when trouble comes, and danger will stay away from me.
But just as I was trying to keep my head down, a nuisance who claimed to have transmigrated into a book came looking for me.
The nuisance said:
First, this world is a fusion of four novels with different settings.
Second, you're the overworked villain shared by all four books, the biggest mastermind behind the scenes.
You're far stronger than anyone else, arrogant, reckless, and insane.
I thought either I was crazy, or the world was.
How much water must have gotten into my brain for me to think I could go head-to-head with four people blessed by protagonist plot armor?
If I had the strength to be number one under heaven, wouldn't it be better to find a place to lie low in peace until the ending?
Nuisance: I understand, but I don't respect it. You're already out of options.
Nuisance: There are other people who transmigrated into books in this world. They'll definitely tell the protagonists you're the villain. The protagonist team will probably kill you before you grow strong... Anyway, good luck getting stronger, Mr. Villain.
To avoid getting killed, I could only explain, "Look how timid I am. Do I seem like a villain to you?" while...
Keeping a billion tricks up my sleeve first.
What could I do? My goal was to live a long, full life and die of old age.
Later, I finally kept my head down until the very end.
Looking back, I was shocked to discover: hey, I really was number one under heaven.
P.S. The female lead is a mama's girl.
Pre-order title: I Become an Emperor for the Ages with a Gossip System
Blurb:
Bad news: Zheng Hanzhang transmigrated, leaving air conditioning, phones, and video games behind forever.
Good news: She became the seventh prince, a descendant of the imperial family and the empress's legitimate child, born to the highest station in life.
Bad news: The seventh prince was actually a princess. Because the empress had no sons, she raised her daughter as a boy. Every day, she had to live in constant fear, terrified that her identity would be exposed and ruin her reputation.
Good news: She received a golden finger starter pack for transmigrators!
Zheng Hanzhang: Let me see what good stuff is in the pack~
A flash of blue light, and the unlucky card-draw addict crashed and burned again.
"Congratulations, transmigrator! You have obtained [Gossip System x1]."
Gossip? How is that a golden finger!
It doesn't even come with a mind-reading countermeasure. What junk.
With no other choice, Zheng Hanzhang made the Gossip System her everyday pastime, checking in for a bit whenever she had nothing to do.
[Yesterday, Ji Pingze, Vice Minister of Revenue, spent the night at a brothel. Madam Ji personally dragged him home by the ear. Today, when Vice Minister Ji appeared in court, a bright red handprint was still visible on his face.]
Zheng Hanzhang: You go, Madam!
[The heir to the Duke of Chen's estate and the cousin who is staying there have confessed their feelings for each other, but the heir already has a fiancée and is due to marry soon. ...Wait, the cousin is seducing the heir because she's fallen in love with his fiancée?!]
Zheng Hanzhang: I'm shipping these two women.
[The third prince and his maternal uncle, General Wuwei, are plotting to rebel in three days. They plan to imprison the emperor and kill all the adult princes who could compete for the throne.]
Zheng Hanzhang: Wow, a scoop about Third Imperial Brother... Wait! What did you say? Rebel?!
Zheng Hanzhang was suddenly struck by inspiration. My thinking was too limited before, but now I've got it!
Three days later, the third prince led his troops into the palace grounds and advanced as if there were no one to stop them. But after all his soldiers had entered the imperial city, the gates slammed shut behind them. The next moment, countless archers appeared atop the walls, their arrowheads gleaming as they aimed at him.
At their head stood the seventh prince, not yet twenty years old.
Zheng Hanzhang: "Father already knows of your plan to rebel, Imperial Brother. He sent me to wait here for you."
And so, thanks to gossip, the seventh prince ascended the throne.
The moment Zheng Hanzhang sat on the dragon throne, she heard the System's long-awaited notification:
"Congratulations, Host! You have unlocked the [Progressive Gossip System]. From today onward, govern the state diligently and complete your daily check-in missions to earn experience and expand the Gossip System's coverage!"
From then on, the Gossip System's daily reports changed to things like:
[The Governor of Yuzhou embezzles the money meant to build river dikes and wields absolute power locally. He indulges in wine and women every day. He even jailed a scholar who discovered a breach in the dike and sounded the alarm by beating a drum, and plans to execute him soon.]
Zheng Hanzhang: If we don't kill him for that, what are we waiting for, New Year's?
The history books recorded: Emperor Hanzhang said she had received a message from an immortal in a dream, traveled to Yuzhou, executed the governor, promoted the scholar, and even personally carried earth to the river dike and supervised the work! Two months later, the floods came, and all the people of Yuzhou said the emperor had descended from the heavens.
[Winter will be cold this year. The Xiongnu have heard that Shuofang Commandery is unprepared and intend to invade south in a surprise attack!]
Zheng Hanzhang: You want to catch us off guard? If I don't wipe you all out, I'll write my name backward!
The history books recorded: Emperor Hanzhang anticipated the enemy's movements from a thousand miles away and secretly sent a great army north to lie in wait, defeating the Xiongnu after making them weary. The emperor later arrived in person, led a thousand cavalry into the enemy camp, and beheaded the chanyu in the night while he was drunk! From then on, our dynasty was free of threats from the north!
[A wealthy young man in Jiaozhou is curious about what lies across the sea. He personally raised money to build a large ship and plans to explore the ends of the earth. The locals mock him, saying he'll squander three generations of his family's fortune.]
Zheng Hanzhang: Holy crap! Heaven is on my side!
The history books recorded: Emperor Hanzhang heard of it, summoned the wealthy young man to the capital, spoke with him at length, and secretly gave him a scroll. When the young man returned from his voyage, his ship carried foreign crops, including sweet potatoes. The young man said, "The emperor told me they can yield nearly four thousand jin per mu! I tried it, and it was just as she said. From then on, no one in the land starved to death."
In later generations, Zheng Hanzhang was voted the greatest emperor of all time, winning more than half the votes and taking first place by a landslide.
The people: "If she isn't the winner, who is?!"
Theme: Live well.
Some millets are really expensive. Fortunately, I don't do much hot work. Otherwise, others would cut off their kidneys to buy apples, while I would work illegally to buy millet.
The fact that the protagonist is so cautious probably means that he is also very cautious... So tell me honestly, how many manuscripts do you have saved?
Bring an advance payment! The title of the article is "I relied on the melon-eating system to become an emperor through the ages". Welcome to collect it! The copy is as follows: Bad news: Zheng Hanzhang has traveled through time and will never play air-conditioning mobile games again; Good news: She is the seventh prince of the royal family, the direct descendant of the queen, and she is a master at birth; Bad news: The seventh prince is actually the seventh princess. Because she has no children, the queen has her daughter disguise herself as a man, so she has to walk on thin ice every day for fear that her identity will be exposed and her reputation will be ruined; Good news: She won a traveler's golden finger gift package! Zheng Hanzhang: Let me see what good things can be found in the gift bag~ A flash of blue light flashed, and the African chief drew a card and still crashed. "Congratulations to the time traveler for obtaining [Melon-Eating System*1]." Eat melon? Eating melon is nothing but a golden finger! It doesn't even come with a mind-reading skill, scumbag. In desperation, Zheng Hanzhang used the melon-eating system as his daily leisure and entertainment, taking a bite whenever he had something to do. [Ji Pingze, the Minister of Household Affairs, stayed at the Flower House yesterday night. Mrs. Ji personally went out and pulled his ears and returned home. When he went to court today, Minister Ji's face still had bright red palm marks. Zheng Hanzhang: Madam is mighty. [The eldest son of Chen Guogong and his cousin who lives in the Duke's Mansion exchange their heartfelt feelings, but the eldest son already has a fiancée and will get married soon. ... Wait a minute, the cousin seduced the prince because she fell in love with the prince's fiancée?! Zheng Hanzhang: I ate these lilies. [The third prince and his mother-in-law, General Wu Wei, conspired to rebel three days later, put the emperor under house arrest, and killed all the adult princes who could compete with him for the throne. Zheng Hanzhang: Wow, it's Brother Sanhuang's melon—wait a minute! What to make? Rebel?! Zheng Hanzhang's blessing to the soul: I didn't have enough structure before, but now I understand! Three days later, the third prince led his army into the palace. It was like entering a deserted land. However, after his army entered the imperial city, he saw that the palace gate was closed tightly. The next second, countless archers appeared on the city, and their arrows were pointed directly at him. The leader was none other than his younger Seventh Emperor brother. Zheng Hanzhang: "My father has long known about the emperor's brother's intention to rebel, and has specially ordered me to wait here." In this way, by eating melons, she became a Dabao. The moment he sat on the dragon throne, Zheng Hanzhang heard the long-lost system prompt: "Congratulations to the host for unlocking the [Attack of the Melon-eating System]. From today on, manage the government well and complete daily tasks to gain experience and expand the coverage of the Melon-eating System!" From then on, the content reported daily by Chigua System became: [The governor of Yuzhou embezzled the money to build the river embankment. He covered the local area with one hand and made noises every day. He even sent a scholar who found a loophole in the river embankment and beat the drum to make a sound far away in prison and planned to behead him soon. Zheng Hanzhang: Why don't you wait for the Chinese New Year without killing people? Historical records record: Emperor Hanzhang claimed that he had received a message from an immortal in his dream, and he visited Yuzhou, beheaded governors, promoted scholars, and even went to the river embankment to carry soil and supervise it in person! Two months later, the flood came, and the people of Yuzhou all called themselves emperors and gods. [This winter is cold. The Xiongnu heard that Shuofang County was not well prepared and planned to go south for a surprise attack! Zheng Hanzhang: A sneak attack, right? If I don't wipe out all of you, I'll write your names backwards! Historical records record: Emperor Hanzhang knew that the enemy was thousands of miles away, so he secretly sent a large army to the north to ambush, waiting for work, and defeated the Xiongnu. The later emperor arrived in person, led thousands of horses into the enemy camp, and beheaded Shanyu while he was drunk at night! From now on, our country will be free from the dangers from the north! [A rich man in Jiaozhou was curious about what was on the other side of the sea, so he personally raised money to build a big ship and wanted to explore the sky. The locals laughed at him, saying that his ancestors' three-generation family business would be lost in his hands. Zheng Hanzhang: Damn it! God help me! Historical records record: Emperor Hanzhang heard about it and reported that a rich man's son had come to Beijing. He talked with him for a long time and secretly presented him with a scroll. When a rich man returned from a long voyage, the ship was loaded with exotic food, named sweet potatoes. The rich man said: This emperor told me that he can produce nearly 4,000 kilograms per acre! Try it, and if it is as stated, no one in the world will starve to death. Later generations selected the first emperor throughout the ages. Zheng Hanzhang won the first place with far more than half of the votes. Chinese: If she is not elected, who will be elected?! In the future, the Danqing Book of Emperors will be the first in history to contain chapters.
I just know, but Sister Ning will always be in the atmosphere (glad)
I just found out that the author has two books, and I started to worry about this book.
