OP: I heard someone in your area transmigrated?
Liu Ji: That's right. I'm in the second year of Yuanshuo, transmigrated into a great-great-grandson of Emperor Gaozu of Han and a distant nephew of Emperor Wu.
I woke up to a windfall from the heavens: an Edict of Favorable Treatment, and I was enfeoffed as a marquis, the Marquis of Dongguan!
From then on, all the tax revenue from Dongguan County is mine to spend. I can lie flat and rake in the money!
11th floor: So, do you have a golden finger?
Liu Ji: I've got the Green River Historical Tourism Sign-in System.
Signing in at historical events and with historical figures, as well as daily sign-ins, earns Moonstones, which can be used to unlock and redeem all sorts of things.
22nd floor: What are your plans now that you've transmigrated?
Liu Ji: If I'd transmigrated to the time of the First Emperor, I'd have rushed straight to my ancestor for protection.
But since I've landed under the rule of that little piggy, all I can do is sign-in tasks and keep my head down, muddling through the days.
On his way to Chang'an to pay his respects at court, Liu Ji witnessed the Yellow River flooding into the Huai and Si Rivers. Sixteen commanderies were submerged, and the land was strewn with starving corpses.
Without hesitation, he spent 2 Moonstones and left a scathing two-point review!
That night, just as Liu Che fell asleep, an angry heavenly voice crashed down from every direction:
[The Huzi breach was a natural disaster, and you, Liu Che, were not solely to blame. But afterward, you actually believed the nonsense your maternal uncle Tian Fen spouted out of greed, abandoned efforts to control the Yellow River, and let its flooding rage on for more than twenty years. Grain production plummeted across Liang and Chu, the people were driven from their homes, and the land was strewn with starving corpses. That was a man-made disaster, plain and simple!
You, Liu Che, cannot escape blame!
You cannot make up for it just by realizing that if the Yellow River floods were not brought under control, they would threaten the empire, then going to the riverbank to make offerings, sinking a white horse and jade disc, and composing the two “Songs of the Huzi River.”]
Roused by the scolding, Liu Che sat up in the middle of the night. “Summon the chancellor and all the ministers. We have matters to discuss!”
Control the Yellow River! We'll control the Yellow River right away!
One day, Liu Ji spent 100 Moonstones to activate special alerts for Crown Prince Liu Ju.
Later, one night, after Liu Ju fell asleep, a solemn, icy voice suddenly spoke from the heavens:
[The Comprehensive Mirror to Aid in Government records: In the third year of Taishi, Prince Fuling was born after fourteen months in the womb. Since Emperor Yao was also said to have been born after fourteen months, the emperor named the gate where the child was born Yaomu Gate. A schemer guessed the emperor's intentions, realized how much he doted on his youngest son, and wanted to make him heir. Thus he began plotting against the empress and the crown prince.]
Liu Ju, lying awake and miserable in the middle of the night: Father really doesn't love me anymore.
And then, one day.
System: [Storage slots are now available. Each slot costs 500 Moonstones. Please note that storage slots are single-use: every time you store something, you will be charged 500 Moonstones.]
Liu Ji: What kind of spatial inventory or game inventory charges you every time you store something after you've unlocked and expanded it?!
Green River, you're so stingy! Nobody can out-sting you, you little tyrant!
And then, another day.
System: [Please remember to extend your VIP membership (marquis and royal status). Spend 2,000 Moonstones to extend it by 180 days. If you do not renew before it expires, you will be stripped of your title and demoted to commoner.]
Liu Ji: So my status is temporary after all?! One renewal only lasts half a year?!
Green River, you really can't stand seeing me lie flat, can you!

Reader's guide:
① Set in a parallel world inspired by history, not a mainline historical story.
Theme: Live in the moment and enjoy it.
If there wasn't Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the male protagonist and these skills wouldn't be able to become emperors even if they didn't want to. There is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty above his head, and now having these skills is almost like hanging his head around his neck for fun. . . How many days he can live depends entirely on the remaining conscience of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Kindergarten is on winter vacation, and the update time and frequency are unstable. It is recommended to gain weight (since you have come back to fill in the holes, you will never give up [come on])
