Ferrying Through the Seasons

One-line premise: What do you do when you transmigrate as a tyrant's second personality?

[Fragile, aggrieved puppy x sunshine girl]

Fan Lingyu was the tyrant of the scholars' writings: volatile and cruel. After seizing the throne by any means necessary, he massacred his way through the court and confined the imperial clan.

Centuries passed as the dynasty he ruled was etched into the long river of time. Then Tao Yin unexpectedly transmigrated as his second personality.

At the time, Fan Lingyu was still an inconspicuous prince, unloved by his father and mother, bedridden and ignored by everyone.

"Who are you, exactly?" One day, the ailing Fan Lingyu discovered that there was someone else inside his body.

"Guess." Even with her heart turned to ashes, Tao Yin couldn't resist a jab.

He didn't fly into a rage as the stereotypes would have you expect, nor did he say a single unkind word. Instead, he turned over and said faintly, "Suit yourself."

At first, Tao Yin thought her luck couldn't get any worse than being forced to share a body with someone so notorious. It wasn't until she witnessed firsthand how Fan Lingyu's achievements throughout his life were praised and condemned in the writings of others, his reputation whitewashed and blackened, and how people cornered him step by step atop a lonely peak, leaving him no way out, that she understood.

What had appeared on paper was merely the biased, malicious account of people with their own agendas, who had made things up about him.

The day he met Tao Yin, Fan Lingyu was sick and wasting away in the darkest depths of his life. He had thought the world had simply gained one more person who hated him.

Only later did he learn that there truly was someone in this world who would come for him by boat, carry him through the world's injustices, and guide him across a lifetime of loneliness.
