Help! I Hit the Future Emperor

Yang Yan died young in her original world because of a mistake by the Space-Time Bureau. She chose a compensation plan: take the place of a cannon-fodder character in a book’s small world, finish the plot, then start over with a new secret identity. These days, it was hard to find a sucker willing to work for free, so the person in charge was especially enthusiastic, promising to give her a wealthy, high-status identity. The person in charge asked, “You’re an adult, right? A lot of our scripts have age restrictions.” Yang Yan was shocked. “You can just say that?!!” She nodded like a pecking chick, her cheeks flushed, and said, “Anything’s fine,” while adding points to her character stats with her mind full of spicy thoughts. Only after entering the small world did she realize she’d misunderstood. This was a “love story” between a maid given as part of a dowry and a young nobleman. The heroine rose from servant to concubine, then was made the male lead’s second wife. She was even adopted as a daughter by her former master’s family, finally escaping her status as a servant. The first half of the story was full of sweet, bittersweet romantic push and pull, but later it took a sharp turn. The male lead fell gravely ill, and the heroine nursed him at his bedside. When he was in agony, sobbing and begging her to put him out of his misery, she smiled with tender warmth. “You’re getting off far too easily, Fifth Young Master. It doesn’t compare to what my lady went through back then.” That’s right, this was a revenge story. It really wasn’t suitable for children. And Yang Yan was supposed to play the hapless deceased wife who died young, leaving behind a son. The reason the wife died young was that she’d offended a “noble” years earlier: the new emperor, who had risen from slavery to conquer the land. He had once been sold to the Yang family as a slave, where he suffered terribly at the hands of Yang Yan, a notorious cannon-fodder character with a long record of misdeeds. As soon as the new emperor rose to power, Yang Yan was promptly “taken ill and died.” The story didn’t go into detail about the true cause of death, but judging from the heroine’s attitude, things didn’t look good. Yang Yan tried to save herself, but between the irresistible force of the plot and the limits of her character, she was forced to whip him, push him into a freezing pond, and make him kneel on broken porcelain shards... Years later, they met again. The former slave had become a powerful general who ruled over his own territory. The young man dismounted and raised his brows with a smile. “It’s been a long time, Madam Yang. Do you still remember me?” Yang Yan: “...” She glanced at the riding crop still in his hand, and felt a chill rise from her soles to the roots of her hair. Help! Is it too late to claim he’s mistaken me for someone else?! * Ran Tao: Long cherished, at last drawn into my arms. 1.
