Xie Fan has a miserable routine: by day, he's trapped at school cosplaying as a human; at night, he wanders through ancient times, playing a feudal office drone. But what hurts most is that he's somehow ended up with a mountain of romantic debts!
Who would believe that someone who's never even kissed anyone could end up running from romantic entanglements everywhere, and with men, no less?
Come on, Heaven, he's completely straight! Why is the plot racing off in such a bizarre direction?
His irritable childhood friend secretly hooks a leg around his under the desk: "We'll keep it a secret. No one will know."
The gentle prime minister corners him by the window in the sunset: "He's not like me. I'm the only one who'll cherish you, darling."
The straightforward general pins his waist down and won't let him move: "Let's try it once. Just once. I'll be gentle."
In the end, they converge in the same time and space and force Xie Fan to choose. "Darling, who do you like best?"
Xie Fan: Help! He doesn't want to get XXXed! What is this adult video game scenario?
1. The unfortunate victim speaks:
Hello, everyone. I'm Xie Fan, a high school boy chosen by fate.
On June 1, 2045, I discovered I was having recurring dreams. In them, I was a low-ranking official in the Ministry of Personnel of the Great Li Dynasty, so low I was almost without rank. I worked myself to death every day, being squeezed dry by a potbellied superior.
Was this Heaven's gift to me for Children's Day? I appreciate the thought, but please take it back.
That's how my "happy life" began: at seventeen, I spent the day being an office drone at school, then went home and became a beast of burden in my dreams. Until one day, the emperor of the Li Dynasty personally issued an edict appointing me as a Fifth-Rank Assistant Secretary.
I was in a thicket of hay, sporting a bird's-nest hairstyle and catching a criminal, when I froze. What goes around comes around. This year, it's my turn. At last, even a couch potato like me gets to turn things around! Send me 50 yuan and watch me reform the bureaucracy...
2. The group transmigration squad offers its account:
Something strange happened at the Li Dynasty court. Whenever the officials fell asleep, they would all transmigrate to the side of a boy named Xie Fan, in Class 11, Grade 11, at Qixing High School in A City, Huaguo. That was all right, really. They could get an early taste of life thousands of years in the future.
The problem was, they didn't transmigrate into people. They became all kinds of objects.
Xie Fan plopped down on the chair possessed by the emperor of the Li Dynasty. He spun the pen possessed by the Grand Academician in his hand, then planted his feet on the waist of the old Minister of Rites, who had become his desk. Full of confidence, he began answering his Chinese exam.
"What does 'wo' mean in the phrase, 'If he grows drowsy at night, he immediately washes his face with water'?"
Xie Fan swore under his breath. What was all this? The teacher taught one thing, and the exam tested something completely different! His mind was blank, but his hand began translating without him thinking about it.
Huh?
Huh!?
What was going on? Was this what the teacher meant by having a breakthrough? Was this the legendary knack for exams? Could he really be a genius?
Grand Academician Wang An struggled to control the pen's direction with his mind. He was drenched in sweat and panting by the time he finally completed an exam he could bear to look at.
After the exam, Wang the Academician had to take three days off from court because he'd strained his back and suffered a softening of the brain and bones.
Xie Fan: As expected, being a second-rank official is great. You can take time off whenever you want!
Wang An: Doesn't your face burn when you say that?
