Huo Qingyu was reborn in ancient times as the descendant of a military family. It wasn't until an accident that he awakened the memories and abilities of his previous life, along with a news broadcast System that had been quietly running in the background ever since his birth, gathering a wealth of information and sorting it into numerous categories.
But this System seems... a little indecent?
The gossip section is always at the top of the daily news homepage.

Huo Qingyu raised an eyebrow. King Wei was narrow-minded and feared the Huo family's growing power, worried they would overshadow him. He wanted to move against the family, and the situation was dire. Huo Qingyu had been fretting over it, so this news had come at just the right time.

Huo Qingyu couldn't help but ponder. King Wu's territory was prosperous, yet the people lived in misery. But among the feudal lords, he had the most children. Hmm...

Huo Qingyu couldn't help smiling. Grand Marshal Zheng was in charge of important affairs in Wuling Commandery. Everyone said he loved and feared his wife, since he had risen to power through her family. His wife was a formidable woman, fierce as a tiger, and wouldn't tolerate the slightest offense.
Huo Qingyu: "A secret is a secret because no one knows about it. Once someone finds out, it becomes a fatal weakness."
Who says this System is indecent?
This System is as proper as can be. Not only is it reliable, it has tremendous potential!
The cultural heritage section gathers all kinds of talent. The weather forecast section lets him prepare for disasters in every region and win the people's support. The social and military sections are useful in countless ways, and the news-gathering network covers all of Huaxia.
The realm is in turmoil, the age is chaotic, and heroes emerge in droves. Four great lords rule their own territories and carve up imperial power.
Since King Wei is immoral and unjust, Huo Qingyu will overthrow him and claim the throne himself. He'll raise an army and carve out his own path. Why shouldn't he be one of the great figures who will be remembered through the ages?
Later, Huo Qingyu founded the Sheng Dynasty and became emperor, ushering in an age of prosperity. The realm was peaceful, the country prosperous, and the people content.

When Huo Qingyu and Feng Hong first met, neither had a good impression of the other.
One was a noble gentleman, bright as the moon and as clear as a breeze, gifted with words and exceptional in every way.
The other was a foreign tribal leader, born beyond the frontier, tall and brave, cold and savage.
Huo Qingyu: "A warrior who captures enemy generals and fights with valor? Hah, he has grand ambitions and the heart of a wolf. I mustn't underestimate him."
Feng Hong: "Cool as jade, flawless? Hah, he'll surely become my greatest threat someday. I need to get rid of him as soon as possible."
Later, Huo Qingyu and Feng Hong got together and held an imperial wedding. Both were men, a union without precedent or equal.
Feng Hong: "As long as you love me, I'm willing to be your empress."
Huo Qingyu: "Cut the nonsense. If you're the empress, I'm still the one on the bottom."
