Want to Publish in a Top Journal? Go Revitalize the Dynasty!

[A Note Before Reading: Only professors usually get the chance to publish in C-journals. Students may be able to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, but that doesn't mean they'll publish in one.] [Updates follow rankings before VIP status, then one steady update per day]

Tang Xian, a political science graduate student, worked diligently on his research. His greatest wish was to publish in a C-journal as soon as possible.

On his birthday, he made a vow: If I can publish in a C-journal, I'll do anything!

One day in the spring semester of his first year of graduate school, Tang Xian received a publication notice from a C-journal in his email.

Tang Xian: !!! I did it!

But there was no time to celebrate. The day after his article was published, Tang Xian woke up in unfamiliar surroundings and stared in confusion. Where was he?! A murder mystery game? A film set?

As he stood there bewildered, a voice sounded in his mind: Welcome to the Great Xu Dynasty. I'm Oath System 1012. We helped you achieve your wish of publishing in a C-journal, so now you need to fulfill your vow, Host.

Tang Xian: Huh? How am I supposed to fulfill it?

System: Help the Great Xu appoint a wise ruler and build a golden age for the dynasty!

Tang Xian: ?!

To get home as soon as possible, Tang Xian, a modern graduate student who owed someone a favor, was forced to begin his ancient-era research-slave journey, struggling to survive in the wilderness at the heart of Great Xu's power.

With the emperor's birthday approaching, Xiao Yi lounged around in the imperial garden, while Tang Xian, who was always the last to hear the news, ran around looking for him. Hurry, Your Highness, get ready!

When the academy held its midterm exams, Xiao Yi slept with a book covering his face. With his research fervor reignited, Tang Xian rushed to the Imperial College first thing in the morning to recruit him for a team. Hurry, Your Highness, wake up!

When the spring hunt began at Shanglin Park, Xiao Yi sat idly at his desk, snacking, while Tang Xian watched the Fourth and Fifth Princes ride off and fretted. Hurry, Your Highness, get on your horse!

Everyone thought the heir of the Prince of Dingbei was just a spoiled young noble who wanted to save face and earn the world's admiration. But this frail, most spoiled young lord in Great Xu teamed up with his study companion to bulldoze through the Huainan administration and kick down the barracks in the northern frontier ruled by his own father. Then, in the blink of an eye, he pushed his study companion onto the throne. The officials watching from the sidelines only realized it afterward: ? Someone stole the throne right from under us!!

Reading Guide: (Original title: I Transmigrated After Publishing in CSSIC)

1. One-on-one romance, both are each other's first. Fictional dynasty, nothing is based on historical fact.

2. Not a traditional system-powered wish-fulfillment story.

3. Setting note: The protagonist publishes in a C-journal through his own academic efforts. The System provides favorable timing, allowing him to publish without spending any money and earn both an honorarium and a scholarship.

Core message: Work for the people's well-being and bring peace to generations to come.
