When I Became a Historical Figure's Beloved Son [Quick Transmigration]

[Writing After Finishing the Research]

Yan Bai, an employee of the Transmigration Bureau, receives a new assignment from his superiors one day.

Title: Become the Beloved Son of a Famous Historical Figure.

Requirement: Stay alive.

Feeling underestimated, Yan Bai is stunned. "That's it?"

Then he reads the full assignment details.

His dear parents are Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, Empress Dowager Lu Zhi of the Han, Catherine the Great, and Catherine of Aragon.

His identities are Fusu, Qin Shi Huang's eldest son who took his own life; Liu Ying, the Han crown prince who became the poster boy for an ungrateful son; Paul I, heir living in the shadow of an emperor; and a prince who never existed in history, fathered by Henry VIII.

Yan Bai: "..."

Yan Bai: "Maybe we should think about how to stay alive."

[Fusu]

After his death, Qin Shi Huang becomes a ghost whom no one can see. He watches Hu Hai usurp the throne, his eldest son Fusu take his own life after receiving a forged decree, all his children killed by Hu Hai, and the Qin dynasty fall with its second emperor!

He spits out a mouthful of blood in ghostly form.

When he opens his eyes again, Heaven has given him another chance. He sits up expressionlessly from a pile of salted fish and stares at the trembling Hu Hai and Li Si before him.

Before he can save his foolish eldest son from taking his own life, he receives some news: The eldest prince has rebelled!

Qin Shi Huang: Huh???

Fusu didn't kill himself this time. He rebelled?!!

[Liu Ying]

Lu Zhi outlives her bastard husband and finally puts her son on the throne.

But who could have known that she'd perhaps lost the baby and raised the placenta instead? The ungrateful son she raised has his heart set on the bastard old man who kicked him off the carriage, always taking his side.

Because her son defended Consort Qi and Prince Ruyi of Zhao, she gives him the cold shoulder. Even when he accidentally falls into the water, she forces herself not to visit him.

But after the boy falls into the water, he becomes much sharper.

[Paul I]

Catherine the Great: "I killed my husband and took the throne, becoming empress. Though I had no other choice, Paul still lost his father. He can hate me if he wants. I've already prepared myself to be alone for the rest of my life..."

Her beloved son: "Mom, give me a hug."

Catherine the Great: "..."

P.S. This world's characterization is based on the Russian TV series Catherine the Great.

[The Son of Catherine of Aragon]

Henry VIII, a wife-killing madman who married six queens, has a son who never existed in history with his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.

Reading Guide

1. Family-focused. Some historical figures, such as Consort Qi, are portrayed negatively.

2. The female characters are all in the background. Though they are background characters, there is still a female lead, so this is in the romance category.

3. Lots of original worldbuilding. Parallel timelines, not an accurate historical story.

Theme: Stay positive
