After Fusu died and transmigrated to the Song dynasty, he realized that his previous life had been a joke.
Even though in this life he was the emperor's only son, cherished like a treasure by his father and the entire court, he didn't take any of it to heart.
Confucian cardinal principles and the five constant virtues? Not studying those.
He'd loved studying them in his previous life, and his father still despised him.
The crown prince? No thanks.
It's not like becoming crown prince means I'll actually get to take the throne. Whatever.
A Han Chinese? I'm not one!
I'm a true-blooded Qin native. Liu Bang, founder of the Han dynasty, you and I are mortal enemies!
Until one day, four-year-old Fusu overheard two ministers talking in private: The Qingli reforms aren't going well, tribute is due every year, and the young crown prince is already showing signs of being unruly. Zijing, is our Great Song doomed?
Little Fusu: ?
He looked through the history of his dynasty's wars and found himself in complete agreement with the two ministers: Great Song really does seem doomed.
What about him?
Would he get dragged through the mud by history books all over again?
A person can't step into the same river twice. Little Fusu immediately threw himself into the arms of the emperor who was his father in this life. "Father, I'll stop slacking! I'll get my act together!"
Song Renzong, the doting father who had nearly died without an heir and had waited decades for this precious son, gazed at him fondly. "Good. Whatever you say, Father will do as you wish."

Many years later, envoys from every nation came to pay tribute.
At the banquet, Fusu overheard the same two ministers from years ago: Zijing, our young sovereign excels in civil and military affairs, embodies the highest virtues, and is every bit as benevolent as the late emperor. To serve such a ruler is truly a great blessing for any official!
There's just one thing: why does he love going to war so much?
He really doesn't seem like one of the Zhao family... Ahem.
Fusu quietly wiped his face. "You might not believe this, but although I fought the Xiongnu alongside General Meng... In the Qin, where everyone was a formidable warrior, I was once even called 'too soft and weak.'"
#All he has to do is make the tiniest move, and he's already at the top of his league.
Next up: Nine Palaces Pearl
*
Xie Suining was chosen as crown princess from childhood.
At sixteen, she entered the palace to pay her respects and caught a fleeting glimpse of a figure in imperial yellow. The next day, an imperial edict came from the palace, ordering her to enter as a consort.
Xie Suining: "..." I suppose I don't mind.
A crown princess has to wait for the emperor to kick the bucket, and might not even become empress then. Now the emperor has hired me directly. If I work hard, maybe I can become empress right away.
So everyone knew that Emperor Xingqing treated flowers like confidantes and cherished Noble Consort Xie like the moon tucked in his sleeve, like a precious jewel atop his crown. A year later, he personally bestowed the empress's crown upon her.
With the imperial seal in her hands, it seemed everyone around her had honey on their tongues, each speaking more sweetly than the last.
"I offer you my life, Your Majesty. I would regret nothing, even if I had to die nine times."
"I have found one confidant in this life. That is enough."
"You know what His Majesty is like. If he's willing to hand you power, it means he loves you deeply."
But so what?
If becoming empress meant so many people would flatter her, she could only imagine how great life must be for the person sharing the emperor's pillow.
Xie Suining made up her mind.
Until she could rule her own fate, until she ascended the ninefold palace and turned the world upside down, she would never stop moving forward. She would persevere until death.
-
The first time Shen Zhuo saw Xie Suining, he had a premonition that sooner or later, this woman would topple the Great Zhao dynasty.
Would she be a bewitching consort who ensnared men's hearts, or a power-hungry empress dowager who sowed chaos?
Quietly, Shen Zhuo took every precaution against her.
But his premonition came true in the most unbelievable way.
Because he became the one who knelt beneath the majestic crown of the empress, leading the entire court in calling out, "Long live Your Majesty!"
1. An empress story. The heroine has plenty of romantic interests, and the male lead is the one mentioned in the blurb.
2. Old-school Mary Sue, tragic love, political intrigue with a hodgepodge of government systems, farming, nation-building. There's a bit of everything.
Theme: Bring peace to all generations.
The Guan family is a father who provides Fusu with the security and truly dotes on him, and the perfect son's father is Renzong. Therefore, the father-son relationship between the Guan family and Fusu, a good eldest son, goes both ways and completes each other.
Da Su: I regard you as a brother, but you actually want to be my brother-in-law!
Isn't there a non-thesis extra chapter about later generations? I want to see where the loneliness started, what the territory of later generations was like, the invention of the train and so on, and the smooth advancement to a technologically powerful country. What about the change of dynasties? I wonder how a good hand was ruined and transitioned to modern civilization.
I want to see people in the Song Dynasty watching a movie in the underworld. How will the people in the Song Dynasty react when Fusu is unmasked?
The steam engine has been invented. There shouldn't be such a long feudal dynasty in the future.
Hahahaha, live and receive sacrifices
Tonic, author, I want to read the follow-up ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Is there any more_(:з∠)_
The reason why famous officials became famous was because they met Mingjun. For example, famous officials like Huizong of the Song Dynasty encountered unimaginable consequences. For example, Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, met the famous general Yue Fei and was framed and killed on unfounded charges. In the late Song Dynasty, the number of heirs was so rare that he was extinct, which was retribution.
The love story is too short haha, the kind of like-mindedness and empathy is the best thing to talk about
