A quick divination says the title has been changed. The original title was A Guide to Being a Worthy Emperor for His Majesty.
You probably won't believe this, but after writing alone for a year, I've finished the entire novel and have all the chapters stockpiled. (Oh ho ho ho! The villain's laugh.)
New chapters every night at nine, 3,000+ words a day.
I'm currently working hard on My Childhood Friend Is My Rival, What Do I Do? (Ambitious, ruthless stray-dog type x delicate beauty who plays the pig to eat the tiger). I'm preparing to finish the whole thing before posting. Could I beg you for a little bookmark?
Gu Yuan had never had much ambition. His lifelong goal was to latch onto someone powerful, then coast through life and become a major chicken farmer in Shu.
But one day, Gu Yuan came across a beautiful pheasant, and his lifelong goal seemed to change. He wanted to fatten that lovely bird up properly.
The more he looked at it, though, the more something seemed off. It was so beautiful it looked like a phoenix.
Gu Yuan pondered this. Could that chicken really be a phoenix?!
After meeting that bird, Gu Yuan had a dream.
He was in a magnificent palace, seated on the throne in a black imperial robe embroidered with the Twelve Symbols and wearing a crown with twelve hanging strands of beads. A pair of jade-white arms circled his neck, and luscious lips curved toward his own with a smile.
He was disgusted, but couldn't push the person away, so he let them draw near.
Below the raised throne stood the civil and military officials. They held their court tablets and bowed their heads, each with their own hidden agenda.
The only sound in the entire hall was that laugh, clear as silver bells, echoing without end.
In the dream, Gu Yuan couldn't make out the person's face. All he could see was a tiny red cinnabar mole at the corner of their eye.
But whenever that person came close, he felt utterly sick. Though he was a mighty emperor, he still had to endure their demands.
The person said, “I'm jealous.”
He canceled the selection of consorts and sent all the palace maids in his chambers to other palaces.
Then the person said, “I want you.”
He immediately suspended the morning court, drew the golden curtains around the throne, and indulged them.
He did all this not because he loved them, but because his country couldn't do without them.
In the midst of that debauched pleasure, the officials of the entire court knelt before the Golden Throne, their faces flushed with embarrassment.
The person sat on his lap, eyes brimming with affection and a bewitching smile. “I know you only lie with me for the sake of your country, and I know you'll never love me…”
Their voice seemed to catch. There was helplessness in it, and a hint of madness…
“But don't forget, you're the one who dragged me down from the altar… But I won't blame you, because I… will love you forever…”
“Even after you're dead… I'll still love you…”
“My Emperor…”
…
Gu Yuan jolted awake, clutching his chest and gasping for breath.
Later, he learned it hadn't been a dream.
It was his previous life.
Gu Yuan, still shaken, looked at the sleeping boy beside him. He was handsome, and looked like he must be very expensive.
He had a simple name: Chu Qi.
Chu Qi was that beautiful pheasant.
He was very fond of Gu Yuan, and even after taking human form, he ate and slept alongside him.
Gu Yuan had been jolted awake by his dream. When he came to, he saw Chu Qi sleeping soundly nearby. A mischievous impulse struck him, and he snatched away the thin quilt draped over Chu Qi.
Caught completely off guard, Chu Qi instinctively sat bolt upright when the quilt was taken, but his sudden movement sent him tumbling to the floor.
Rubbing his sore backside, he complained, “You sleep so badly.”
Gu Yuan burst out laughing. Seeing this, Chu Qi went on grumbling at length.
Suddenly, Gu Yuan stopped laughing. Chu Qi looked up, only to find Gu Yuan staring blankly at him.
Their eyes met, and Gu Yuan's gaze slowly shifted to the corner of Chu Qi's eye, where a red cinnabar mole sat.
PS:
1. Both are devoted to each other, 1v1.
2. A three-lifetime storyline, with a chase-your-wife-to-the-crematorium arc.
3. The gods, demons, and ghosts are drawn from ancient mythology.
4. The characters' values don't necessarily reflect the author's.
5. Love you all! Mwah, mwah, mwah!
Theme: The people come first, the state comes second, and the ruler comes last.
Ah, I really can't stand this protagonist. I can't understand what the author wants to express. He had quite a charismatic personality at the beginning. I thought I was offensive and controlling, but now the protagonist is completely brainless, and his personality is very dark. His outlook is inherently problematic. I didn't see him trying to control himself. Even if the saint turns black, he won't want to take action. If we say vicious, then it has been vicious from the beginning. It's not that no one wants to eat it. The problem is that the description was very good in the beginning, but now it is like this. It feels like it is written out of control. The protagonist is now described as more disgusting than his uncle. His uncle is a real villain and he feels like a hypocrite. It feels like I have a shell of being controlled, so I have a reason for doing evil things. But it was indeed his own evil thoughts and he really did those evil things. You also have to find a bunch of reasons for yourself. Really, I can still make excuses for the first two, but I really can't stand these two and want to run away. I know that writing is difficult, so I won't give negative marks. When I read the article, I first look at the three aspects, secondly, the style of writing, and thirdly, the writing style. Maybe I want to describe the complexity of human nature and the protagonist's forced and struggle, but now the writing is not enough and I can't control it, which makes the three views out of control. I don't see the struggle, I can only feel that the protagonist is a hypocrite, and he has not even reached the level of a hypocrite. [Cracked] If this is foreshadowing, I'm sorry I can't understand it. These two are really disgusting.
Can we take revenge on this Moon God in the future? ? ? It's really disgusting and abominable. Moon God must have retribution for doing these things. Please, I'm so angry. I hope that the two protagonists will not let him go and let him have a taste of the cause and effect.
It's tied. It's so sad. I feel like both of them were actually attracted to each other, but in the end it turned out to be like this. It's an indescribable feeling [Lie flat] [Lie flat] [Lie flat]
I'm so tired, so miserable [picking my head] [holding my chin] [lying flat]
Jumping from chapter to chapter, everyone has been harmed by the goblin game [covering face, laughing and crying] Everyone is talking about what they say, but who doesn't want to go to the extra page? Every time I throw away the equipment, I am beaten to death by a nightingale, hunted by a deer-headed briquette spider together, and died in the manor after exhausting myself with four candlesticks [Lie flat]
Speaking of which, the setting of the Human Emperor's divine personality feels a bit weak. Can the Moon God meddle in the cause and effect of the world at will? Moreover, it was said that the human emperor's divine personality was sealed, and I felt that it was not affected at all. , One after another, one after another, I feel that I really don't have any cause and effect at all. What I see now is still a bit hazy. Let's see how it is written. But if it is really because of what Mr. Yue did this month that there is a gap between the two people, or the protagonist becomes delirious and stupid. It just feels like something like that. Rather than saying this, it is better to say that the country needs the protagonist to implement some policies, and then this policy was opposed by the survivors who had previously murdered the young emperor, and then induced the people to rebel. The protagonist suppressed these survivors, thus completely eradicating the curse of heaven in one go. I think this may make the logic clearer. Of course, it's just a little bit of ideas, but it doesn't mean you know how to write. I just don't want the protagonist to be led by this Mr. Yue.
Isn't ten taels a bit too much? [Transformation] [Transformation] If you give too much, it will be easy for others to rob you (such as blatantly giving and accepting). No matter what era it is, even if the emperor governs well, there are villains who are greedy for money. On the other hand, I remember that in the Dream of Red Mansions, Grandma Liu received twenty taels of silver, which was enough to support her family (family of five) for one year. The converted candied haws on a stick should only cost a few cents or a dozen dollars. Even one tael of silver is too much. Why don't the author change it to one tael? Ten taels is too exaggerated.
I think it will be a good read.
I can't help but make the protagonist so stupid. Although he doesn't have common sense, after entering such a village where something is obviously wrong, he still says that "no one is normal", "it's normal to be quiet", "it's normal to only see willows and locust trees". Can you not write the protagonist like this? After all, he was still the emperor in his last life.
"She blinked her big eyes for a while, confused..." This is a big bug for the author~
Is there anyone here called Chuqi?
