From an outsider's perspective:
History records that Emperor Zhaoxi, Su Mingji, pacified Yunli in the south and destroyed Chaoling in the north, uniting the realm at the age of twenty-nine. He welcomed the most talented people into his service, lightened taxes and labor burdens, and brought peace throughout the land. The nation flourished under his reign like never before.
Yet when people talk about this wise and brilliant ruler, what they love to recount most is the decade in his youth when his kingdom fell, he was captured, and he became Gu Jingmo's bedmate.
Jiang Weixiao, Emperor Zhaoxi's most devoted fan, has this to say: Those are all unofficial histories! Unofficial histories can't be trusted!
Then Jiang Weixiao transmigrates. On the night Gaoyang falls, he watches with his own eyes as Gu Jingmo carries out a sleeping boy. The tear tracks on the boy's face have yet to dry, and every inch of his skin is wrapped in a brocade quilt.
That boy is his idol, Emperor Zhaoxi, Su Mingji.
Player's perspective:
The massively popular full-dive game Unify the Realm Online offers countless randomly generated side quests and highly intelligent NPCs, letting you experience the whole journey from a prince confined to the cold palace to the ruler of the realm.
At first, the player was too casual about the game. He not only failed to save and reload until he got the best attributes, but somehow also picked up the permanent debuff "Tyrant in Training."
So he started an alt.
He could get perfect attributes and start from the start, while also logging in on both accounts to grind some special titles. I'm so clever, the player thought smugly.
Unfortunately, you can't choose where your alt starts. By the time the player had dragged his main account above the passable threshold, his alt had already turned nineteen.
But that was fine. He eagerly chose to attack Gaoyang. Nineteen was the perfect age to make one's mark, and it was time to bring his alt home and personally train him!
This story is also known as: "I'm Really Just Training My Alt, Not Brainwashing Him"; "I'm Only Logging In on Both Accounts to Grind Special Titles, So Why Are You Looking at Me Like That?"; "Once My Alt's Properly Trained, Isn't It Only Natural for My Main to Retire in Glory? What Is This Epilogue?"; and "Get Out of My Head! I Really Didn't Force Myself on My Secret Identity!"
Notes: 1. This is purely a personal kink project. It contains a lot of forceful-love content as imagined by other characters, but to the player, it's all normal gameplay.
2. To the player, this is just a single-player game. Everyone except his alt is an NPC, so he'll do plenty of things typical of the Fourth Calamity, without caring in the slightest whether the NPCs live or die.
3. In the end, the alt will kill the main and inherit all his resources, so Gu Jingmo will die.
4. You've made it this far, so why not bookmark the story before you go? Please!
