[Seeking Advance Readers: [Pretending to Be a God] Deceiving Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han in Historical Instances]
Synopsis:
Wang Xianxian transmigrated into another world, taking on the identity of a noblewoman from a marquis's household. Unfortunately, she was a fake heiress, and had just been kicked out of the marquis's residence with nothing to her name.
As a transmigrator, she fancied herself a woman as mighty as a female eagle, and figured she ought to achieve something like Wu Zetian 2.0!
But an unexpected live broadcast on the sky screen put an end to her ambitions before they were even halfway realized. At the time, the old imperial dynasty had yet to collapse completely, and the royal family had put her on its wanted list. The whole world was hunting her down.
Luckily, there was always a way out. Her golden finger had arrived late, but it had arrived: the red-envelope group chat from her world had come with her to this strange land, and they could even send supplies back and forth.
With guidance and help from her three scheming best friends, Emperor Wang Zhao once again ascended the throne in ancient times.
*
In Great Wei, the late emperor died, leaving four regents to assist Crown Prince Li Hu. The prince later ascended the throne and adopted the era name Anping. After three years of mourning, the new emperor sought to take power, but his ministers advised that he could only do so after marrying. Thus the court held a grand selection, summoning the unmarried daughters of all officials of the fifth rank and above to the palace.
The emperor personally selected several noblewomen to enter the palace. His Noble Consort was the third legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Ning's household, and the true heiress in the case that had caused such a stir a few days earlier.
However, on the very day of the emperor's wedding, a sky screen suddenly appeared above the imperial capital for all the world to see.
"Friends, your old pal is back with the latest in-depth video! Today, let's have a quick chat about the life of Wang Zhao, the founding emperor of Great Qian, Emperor Qianwu, after Great Wei fell."
In an instant, everyone in Great Wei, from emperors and ministers to commoners, was stunned. What? Great Wei fell?
Author's notes:
1. This is a female-led novel set in an alternate world. It's categorized as a derivative work because it includes watch-along segments covering other ancient dynasties, with the female lead appearing after she ascends the throne. It has a slight ensemble cast, more watch-along scenes and less nation-building, and is a mash-up of ancient settings, completely made up. My writing is rough and there are lots of potential trigger points, so feel free to leave criticism, but don't make things up or put other works down. Also, the author is in poor health and easily affected emotionally. I generally won't read comments while the novel is being serialized, so I hope readers will understand. Happy reading!
2. There are episodes of the protagonist borrowing and adapting works from the modern world, but she will openly say she's borrowing works by her predecessors and presenting them as a gift, and will credit the original authors. If you dislike this sort of plot, please don't read.
3. A plot-hole warning: While writing, I couldn't help using idioms and phrases with historical allusions. I realized right away that it would be impossible to make the setting entirely fictional, so in the end I gritted my teeth and decided that some people and cultural classics would be fictionalized while others would not. In short, the setting is Schrodinger's alternate history. Please try to overlook this huge plot hole while reading. My writing skills are limited, and I really can't patch up this kind of fundamental inconsistency. I apologize in advance!

Next novel seeking advance readers: [Pretending to Be a God] Deceiving Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han in Historical Instances
Synopsis:
Xiang Manshu is an F-rank mind-reader who can hear the thoughts of anyone within ten meters, and can also make people within ten meters hear her thoughts. But an ability this useless won't get her into China's top university for ability users.
Fortunately, her golden finger, the [Pretend to Be a God System], arrived late but right on time. Her eyes lit up. Her own ability might be useless, but the NPCs in historical instances had powerful abilities. She could simply copy the abilities of SSR NPCs in those instances and make them her own!
Great Qin Instance 1:
Qin Shi Huang was getting old and obsessed with immortality, so he sent Xu Fu and thousands of boys and girls overseas to seek the immortals. The next day, while he was in court listening to Chancellor Li Si report on how to root out the remnants of the Six States, he suddenly heard a miraculous female voice.
[Hey, so this is Qin Shi Huang. No wonder he's the greatest emperor of all time. But how can the greatest emperor of all time be so stupid as to let Xu Fu fool him?]
Someone immediately roared, "How dare you..."
But before he could finish, they heard another line.
[By now, the Seven Fairies in the heavens should have been kidnapped by the Cowherd and his ox, right? If I rescue the Seven Fairies now, could I get in with the Queen Mother of the West and ask her for an elixir of immortality?]
In an instant, no one in the court dared speak.
Years later, Xiang Manshu happily left the instance with the [Imperial Domain] ability she'd copied from Qin Shi Huang. She went on a rampage in the real-world university entrance exam competition and successfully got into China's top university for ability users.
Great Han Instance 2:
Ever since Emperor Wu of Han gained the Empire's Twin Stars, he'd won battle after battle and come to believe that Heaven's mandate belonged to the Han. He was in excellent spirits. But after enjoying the good life for a while, he was dissatisfied again and began longing for immortality.
At court one day, the ministers demanded that Emperor Wu punish Huo Qubing severely. A few days earlier, Huo Qubing had shot and killed Li Gan, and although Emperor Wu had protected him, Li Ling had still brought the case to court. Just then, the ministers suddenly heard someone say:
[Ah, I've arrived in the Han dynasty this time. Let's see what's going on. Oh, Li Ling, you're actually accusing my idol? You're a traitor who defected to the Xiongnu. What right do you have to accuse my idol?]
The ministers glared around, trying to find who had slandered Li Ling by calling him a Xiongnu traitor. Even Emperor Wu frowned, about to rebuke the speaker.
"Outrageous..."
The words were on the tip of his tongue when they heard:
[Oh, right. Han Zhongli, one of the Eight Immortals, should be from the Han dynasty, shouldn't he? If Han Zhongli can become an immortal, surely I can become one alongside him!]
Emperor Wu's eyes lit up. Become an immortal? Count him in.
After a long while, Xiang Manshu left the instance with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's [Area Attack/Single Kill] abilities.
Great Tang Instance 3:
When Tang Taizong once again heard someone impeach the Crown Prince for wearing Turkic clothes and playing with palace attendants in the Eastern Palace, he was deeply disappointed. Just as Tang Taizong was wondering how to save the Crown Prince's reputation, he suddenly heard someone say:
[This is the Tang dynasty? What's going on now? Oh, they're impeaching Li Chengqian, the Turkic prince. Good! If he loves wearing Turkic clothes so much, why not go be the Turkic crown prince? That guy? If he could successfully rebel, even a dog would laugh.]
The string of remarks nearly made Tang Taizong keel over with rage, and Li Chengqian was so furious he was about to lose it on the spot. But the next second, everyone heard:
[Never mind, why should I care whether that Turkic prince rebels? I'm here to find Li Jing and tell him to be nicer to his third son, Nezha. Don't stop the Spirit Pearl from descending to the mortal world to undergo trials and become an immortal.]
All the ministers turned to look at Li Jing. When did your third son undergo trials and become an immortal?
After the instance ended, Xiang Manshu left with Tang Taizong Li Shimin's [Top-Tier Heartthrob] ability, then went on a rampage in the real world.
Core theme: There is hope everywhere in life. Never give up when even a glimmer of hope remains.
The following plot is like riding a rocket. How did you meet Queen Liu? What kind of gift did he leave for the heroine in Liuzhou? Author, how are you going to fulfill it? Dad, you are not a lover of emotions, are you? You didn't tell me how Queen Liu defected! 😂
The first part is very interesting. After ascending the throne, the heroine turned into a typical feudal emperor. It's a pity that there are more female emperors. It seems that there will be no impact on future generations. Goldfinger is so big that I thought it would change the world step by step, but I didn't expect it to end so soon.
To judge what kind of person a person is, it's not about what he says, but how he acts.
Comparing Liu Bang, Lu Pheasant, Li Zhi, Wu Zetian, and even Zhao Heng and Liu E - which one is not much better than Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma?
I also believe that Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant have feelings for each other, but I don't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang really loves Queen Ma.
In the widely circulated brainwashing package, Queen Ma hid the pancake on her chest and secretly sent it to Zhu Yuanzhang, so that she was burned.
But there are still some small things: [The emperor's royal food must be prepared by the Queen himself, so that it can be kept in good condition. One day, the soup was slightly cold, and he was angry. He raised a cup and threw it. The soup was dirty and messy. There was a slight injury on the back of the ear. Later, the heat returned and the color was normal.
And these two seem to be from the same wild history
Saw this before:
What is Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards Queen Ma? Is Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude that the salary of his concubine is several times higher than that of Queen Ma's biological daughter?
"History of the Ming Dynasty": Princess Shouchun married Fu Zhong in the 19th year of Hongwu, and was also a friend of Yingguo. First, it was customized in February of the ninth year: if the princess has not been ennobled, she will be given silk yarn and silk fabrics every year; if she has been enfeoffed, she will be given a district of Zhuangtian, with an annual rent of 1,500 shi and 2,000 guan. [The Lord was loved by □□] and was given more than 120 hectares of farmland in Wujiang County, all of which were plump. His annual income was 8,000 dan, [several times more than his owner]. In the twenty-first year of his death, he was given a bright instrument and a staff for burial.
There is no record of Princess Shouchun's mother, so she was probably a palace maid. However, she is the only princess recorded as being loved by Zhu Yuanzhang. Her salary exceeds that of all other princesses. Zhu Ma fans' claim that Zhu Yuanzhang only loves Queen Ma's children is pure nonsense.
Some CP fans say that Queen Ma's children have the best marriages, so there is no need to lie with open eyes. Princess Lin'an's husband is Li Shanchang's son, and Princess Shouchun's husband is Fu Youde's son. They are no worse than Ningguo and Anqing.
Moreover, Princess Anqing's husband was the only concubine executed by Zhu Yuanzhang. Princess Anqing has been a widow since then. Oh, by the way, it is not necessarily a widow. Anqing is one of the very few daughters of Zhu Yuanzhang who has no death record. From the day Ouyang Lun died, no such person has been found]
[Zhu Yuanzhang had 16 daughters, 13 of whom were married during the Hongwu period, two of whom married the sons of dukes (Lin'an, Shouchun), four married the sons of marquises (Runing, Fuqing, Nankang, and Yongjia)) and one married a second-rank general (Ru Yang) One person married the nephew of a marquis (Ningguo), one person married the son of a fourth-rank military general (a famous name), and the remaining four princes-in-law had unknown backgrounds (Chongning, Anqing, Huaiqing, and Hanshan). According to statistics, the marriages of Queen Ma's two daughters were considered poor]
I don't know if it's true
I feel that if the heroine knew about this live broadcast, she would say that she named herself "", not plagiarism, but a tribute to Emperor Wu.
Having said that, if I were in the position of the heroine and had the ability to rebel, would I name myself ""? ——This is really a tribute. After all, I really like Emperor Wu.
Speaking of which, there are also many women who do not support Emperor Wu becoming emperor. I once read an article on Tomato about the heroine's perspective of Fu Su going back to modern times. She was very disdainful of Wu Zetian becoming emperor. The article called Wu Zetian "Wu Shi" - but it was very friendly to Zhu Yuanzhang and others.
Li Mo couldn't change the emperor's gender to female. In ancient times, kings opened harems because apart from sex, they did not need to give birth to children themselves. Want the empress to risk giving birth again for a worthless thing?
Why is the progress suddenly so fast?
How can I put it, when I saw the drama about the descendants, I felt a rotten feeling. The heroine is no longer a woman with modern ideas, but an assimilated feudal emperor, which is in line with the historical status and political choices. It is very real. The heroine has a rotten feeling in her later years. The author's writing is very real. She is an emperor, a rotten emperor.
Didn't I say before that the prince is the Qian Taizong of this time and space? Why did he die before he even ascended the throne? 😂 Did you write a bug?
