I Transmigrated to a World Where My Best Friend Became Emperor

Du Ruoruo transmigrates and becomes a pitiful noblewoman. At the selection ceremony, she comes face-to-face with the current emperor.

The good news: The emperor was her best friend in the modern world, who died in an accident a few years ago. They recognize each other at once, and her friend promises to treat her to all the finest food and drink and help her rise to the top.

The bad news: Her friend is currently a woman disguised as a man, with an unstable hold on the throne and danger all around. At any moment, she is prepared to sacrifice herself to appease the rebels.

Du Ruoruo's anger rises: Sacrifice yourself for what? You're not allowed to!

Du Ruoruo: I have a System. I can earn gold and silver in ancient times and trade them for modern technology. If we abandon our scruples and join forces, we can solve this crisis.

Her friend thinks it over: Excellent!

And so...

Disaster strikes in the south. Food is scarce and people are panicking. Soon the land will be littered with the dead and starving.

Her friend: Bestow upon Du Ruoruo a jade Guanyin statue.

Du Ruoruo trades it for tons of potatoes and a good supply of crop seeds, putting an end to the famine in one fell swoop.

The two nations hold a Go tournament. The enemy nation sends its Go master, and our side's morale is low.

Her friend: Bestow upon Du Ruoruo a jade Guanyin statue and five South Sea corals.

Du Ruoruo trades them for AlphaGo in her head, then takes on ten opponents at once and crushes them in the palace hall, stunning the whole world. The Go master gapes in astonishment and switches sides on the spot.

Peace reigns throughout the land, and her friend's authority grows ever greater. Her political enemies are on tenterhooks, so they launch a coup during the imperial hunt.

Her friend: Bestow upon Du Ruoruo a jade Guanyin statue, five South Sea corals, and ten thousand taels of gold.

Du Ruoruo trades them for modern firearms and grabs a pair, openly taunting them: Your time is over, my lords! This is what we use now!!!

Many people say Du Ruoruo is a mad dog raised by the empress. She has become so powerful that she threatens the throne, and she dares attend court without kneeling. Her end is sure to be miserable.

What they don't know is that, amid endless solitude and beneath the strings of the imperial crown, the empress casts a distant glance at the kneeling ministers, and only one person ever meets it with ease.

They smile faintly at each other.

They come from an age when women didn't have to kneel. When they look into each other's eyes, they remember the height of summer in their youth, riding their bicycles carefree beneath the dazzling sunlight, everything washed white.

About this story: 1. The focus is on an incredible friendship between women. No romance between women, no fighting over men, and no falling out.

2. Each has a romantic partner. The men are faithful and devoted to their women, who come first for them. The women, from beginning to end, put each other first.

3. This is a mindless wish-fulfillment story set in a fictional world, one that genuinely requires no brainpower at all.

Theme: The world would fall apart without girls!
