The Years I Pretended to Be the National Consciousness Throughout the Dynasties

(Paragraph comments are open. Add the story to your collection to leave paragraph comments.) (And please add it to your collection! I'm currently writing I'm Han Wudi's Own Han Dynasty. You can find it by visiting my author page.) Zhu Qing'ai died accidentally while saving someone. Who would have thought a System would suddenly appear from the heavens and bring her back to life? There was just one little mishap: the two of them bound themselves in the wrong way. The System's permissions ended up in Zhu Qing'ai's hands, while System 99 got the Host's permissions and a physical body. To earn herself a physical body as soon as possible, Zhu Qing'ai set out on the road to becoming a master con artist. (The reading guide and warnings are at the very end of the blurb. It was too long, so I cut a lot and only left the currently serialized story descriptions. The rest are pinned in the comments.) * World One, Qin: (completed) * World Two, Han 1: When Liu Bang was a boy, he once saw a woman in plain clothes and a thorn hairpin out in the fields. Despite her simple appearance, she had an air of nobility. Curious, he asked her about it and received the answer, "I'm here to take a look at the future Son of Heaven." Liu Bang never gave it a second thought. Then, the year the First Emperor went on tour, he saw her again on the emperor's carriage. She sat beside the First Emperor, dressed in finery, and gave him, standing in the crowd, a casual glance. * Lü Zhi had always known there was an invisible 'person' beside her husband. She thought Liu Bang was imagining things, until she really saw that 'person' and discovered that she was the spirit of Qin, later called Han, who had once spent many years by her side. Before he died, Liu Bang couldn't help asking, "Is Liu Ying really the one you favor?" 'Han' smiled gently. "Don't you already know the answer?" "If I cared about the so-called legitimacy of the person sitting on the throne, do you think I would have changed my name to Han?" Liu Bang: ...Fair enough. He laughed. By the time he died, he'd come to terms with it. He'd be dead, so what did it matter to him who came after? Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang x the aloof 'Han Dynasty' Emperor Taizong of Han, Lü Zhi x the nation behind a successful woman, the 'Han Dynasty' (Empress Lü) (completed) ** The heroine's name comes from "Wild bamboo divides the blue mist; a flying spring hangs from emerald peaks." By Li Bai of the Tang dynasty (the imagery in this poem is beautiful. Highly recommended!!!) The male lead's name was made up on a whim by the author. Different world = different name. ** Reading guide and warnings below (and please add my upcoming story to your collection: The Summoning Brought Back the Real China. You can find it by visiting my author page.) 1. Not historical fiction; parallel worlds. For an enjoyable reading experience, the dialogue is fairly modern! There is no romance with the emperors, only familial affection. The story is plot-focused (I think). The CP is System 99, a pure tool of a male lead who does everything for his girl. The male lead has no romantic feelings toward any of the secret identities, only toward the heroine herself. There are also no plotlines where supporting characters misunderstand the male lead and the heroine's secret identities as having an ambiguous relationship. Don't doubt it, the male lead is just a tool! This is mainly a story about raising kids day to day (?). Theme: Live optimistically no matter what your circumstances are.
