Lin Daiyu is forced to star in the "Perfect Daiyu Makeover Livestream Contest." The other contestants keep their eyes on her, while viewers in the livestream are always trying to lecture her. The comments read:
[Women should be virtuous, well-mannered, tactful, gentle, and compliant.]
[Don't show off your talent. Remember, a woman without talent is virtuous.]
Daiyu is fed up. Their comments make her sick.
※
Daiyu: You people are so eloquent and know the story by heart, right? Fine. I'll predict your comments and put them to use.
Change the fate of her father, Lin Ruhai, dying, so she will no longer be an orphan beset by harsh winds and bitter frost.
Change her fate of being trapped in the Jia family, and be free to fly beneath vast skies.
※
Then one day, the comments suddenly changed their tune.
Shui Rong: The east wind returns with spring.
In every lifetime, I will cherish you, love you, and respect you.
[My ship is so sweet!]
A clear-minded, independent, worldly yet unjaded, exceptionally talented woman x a seemingly aloof and taciturn young prince who is actually a loyal puppy with an active inner world
Reading guide:
1. For Lin Daiyu fans. The Baoyu-Daiyu pairing is broken up; Lin Daiyu is not a perfect character.
2. The Jia family is portrayed negatively.
3. Ages and other details are changed. Please don't scrutinize them.
4. Not a wish-fulfillment novel. It's a slow burn, and the romance develops later.
[Completed novel] How Could Diligent Government Lead to a Dynasty's Fall? [Ming Dynasty]
Zhu Yijun resolved from childhood to strengthen his country and bring peace to the realm. He would not follow his grandfather Jiajing in seeking immortality through Daoist practices, nor follow his father Longqing in indulging in women. His only goal was to restore the Great Ming.
Then one day, a creature with a human body and a rabbit's head appeared.
[The streamer begins broadcasting the life of the miraculous emperor Wanli, Zhu Yijun.
How did a well-behaved little boy and a passionate young man turn into a gigantic slacker who skipped court and left memorials unanswered for thirty years?]
Zhu Yijun: I'm the gigantic slacker?
Little Zhu Yijun gets up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a dog every day, his mind full of questions.
[Why did a long-awaited romance become the beginning of a tragedy? Did he really turn against the whole world for Noble Consort Zheng?]
Zheng Mengjing: I'm running!
Zhu Yijun: I'm chasing you!
[Why was the great reformer Zhang Juzheng such a failure as an educator?]
Zhang Juzheng: ...At least I was a great reformer.
[Why was the top scholar Shen Shixing nicknamed the Great Ming's greatest plasterer?]
Shen Shixing: ...That's just rude.
[How did the gifted general Qi Jiguang, the upright and incorruptible Hai Rui, the rebellious philosopher Li Zhi, and others meet their ends?]
At first, Zhu Yijun thought the livestream was some villain's spell, meant to put him off becoming emperor.
But as things got stranger and stranger, he had no choice but to study in the Wenhua Hall during the day and learn from the livestream at night... He'd strayed too far from slacking off and gotten way too close to becoming a workaholic!
He appointed worthy ministers, developed the economy, and advanced technology, making the Great Ming's prestige known far overseas... At last, he no longer had to worry about an empty treasury, impoverished people, or enemies on every side.
Zhu Yijun: I can finally slack off. (Bitter face -> peaceful face)
