A Historical Wish Wall: Starting by Sacrificing a Foolish Emperor

The Historical Wish Wall is now open! Viewers from every dynasty can post wishes, and the right people can claim them and make those dreams come true. Wish #1: Xin Qiji was such a remarkable man, yet he died with unfulfilled ambitions. Shouldn’t we kill the useless emperor and replace him with an unparalleled wise ruler, so Xin Qiji can pursue his ambitions with confidence? Liu Yu claims the wish and executes Zhao Gou as a sacrifice to Heaven: A northern expedition is in our blood! You’an, come with me and wipe out this northern European country! Xin Qiji thinks His Majesty is wonderful in every way, except that sometimes he charges ahead too fast and gives everyone a headache. Your Majesty, please stop. We really can’t keep marching north. The Arctic Circle is right up there! After the wish is fulfilled, it receives a ten-star rating: They said we’d cross a river. After crossing the Yellow River, why not the Belaya, the Rhine, and the Mississippi too? They’re all rivers, aren’t they? * Viewers from every dynasty: We want to make wishes, too! Please change the fates of Di Qing, Yu Qian, Qin Liangyu, Zhang Huangyan, Jiang Wei, Cui Hao, Xie Xuan, Yang Kan, Wang Jian, Xiao Moke, and all those other heroes who were either held back by incompetent rulers or met tragic ends! Chai Rong takes over the world Di Qing lives in: Forget Zhao Zhen. I’ll lead you in wiping out the Xia, pacifying the Liao, and unifying the realm! Fu Jian: Minister Cui, thanks for helping Jinglue handle the civil and military affairs. ^v^ Adou: We capybaras need to get going, too. First, let’s make a wellness plan for Prime Minister Zhuge. He absolutely has to live to a hundred! Empress Dowager Chu Suanzi: To protect my cousin Xie Daoyun and cousin Xie Xuan, I’ve decided to seize the throne and become empress! Zhu Qiyu: The Coup at the Palace Gate? Ha. Today, I’ll send my imperial brother on his way! … Tips: Parallel timelines. Everything mentioned in the blurb will be written, but the order is undecided. I may also write about people not mentioned here, such as Zhang Xun and Chen Qian, or ensemble stories about the Xie clan of Chen Commandery and the Wang clan of Langya (?). There’s just too much to fit here, hahaha. It’s an ensemble story with a lot of lesser-known figures. I’ll try to give every character a moment to shine, and avoid one-dimensional portrayals. The pace may be a little slow. Have a look at my upcoming stories: *Destroying Jin, Starting from Mongolia*: General Meng Gong, the inspiration for Guo Jing, is reborn with Guo Jing’s setup. From the start, he’s a Mongolian Golden Knife Prince Consort. He destroys Jin and Song, leads a western expedition across Eurasia, and builds a world-spanning empire. *[Crossover] Becoming an Eternal Emperor in a Martial Arts World* Ying Zheng, Li Shimin, Fu Jian, Chai Rong, Liu Che, Zhu Di, and Chen Qian are cast as background emperors in a martial arts world, where they play the part of eternal emperors. *Rebel Alliance [Historical Crossover]* Young Li Shimin, Liu Yu, Zhu Di, Liu E, Fu Jian, Chen Qian, Gao Changgong, Li Zicheng, and Yang Miaozhen: We’re rebelling! We’re going to become the new rulers! *Historical Figures Switch Bodies and Reach the Pinnacle of Their Lives*: Several pairs of historical figures switch bodies, including Yue Fei and Huan Wen, Zhang Juzheng and Sima Zhao, Wu Zetian and Qin Liangyu, Fu Jian and Zhu Yuanzhang, and Gao Yang and Zhao Xu. Theme: Their noble spirit endures like lofty mountains and mighty rivers
