[Classic Literature Crossover] A Beautiful Schemer's Guide to Rising to the Top

He Yan Zhan has a beauty that seems almost miraculous, and he is ambitious as well.

1. Journey to the West (completed)

After enduring countless hardships, the four master and disciples finally reach the Kingdom of Zhuzi. The place is unexpectedly peaceful, with no monsters causing trouble.

Because of this damned accident, the Five Directions Revealer of Truth have no choice but to call for reinforcements on the spot and abduct Lady Jinsheng.

"All right." Lady Jinsheng, beautiful to the point of seeming almost demonic, speaks slowly from the throne. "You can go save the king now."

Wait, the king?!

"That's right, the king." He Yan Zhan is wearing a gorgeous dress, but anyone can tell he's a man. "If you don't hurry, our adorable monster is going to eat him!"

2. The Plum in the Golden Vase (completed)

"You there..." A strange young man, completely out of place in a brothel, blocks the way with his arms folded. He raises an eyebrow. "Master Ximen, interested in making a deal?"

Ximen Qing nods, his manner cool, unlike the original story. He asks, "Can we make a big profit?"

"Absolutely!" He Yan Zhan claps excitedly. The best possible start, and the most satisfying identity: he's the emperor!

How could an emperor who mistakenly thinks he's the emperor not count as an emperor?

3. Three Kingdoms

Liu, Guan, and Zhang have finished their routine patrol when a pretty little imp calls out to them.

"Imperial Uncle, can I help restore the Han dynasty?"

The little con artist picks his side, then gets rejected.

He Yan Zhan smiles in a way that sends a chill down the spine. It's fine. I'll keep my eyes on you forever.

Then he's restrained. A youth only a few years older than him pinches his cheek. "Sorry, you three. The child doesn't know any better."

More worlds, including Liaozhai and Water Margin, are being unlocked... The order of the mini-worlds isn't set.

Note: The gong appears in multiple incarnations, and everyone is pure.

There are lots of original settings and plenty of historical limitations. The plot may get melodramatic, and the developments may get crazy.

The protagonist is not perfect.

Here's an advance notice for another story. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites! (?￣▽￣)?

The blurb is in first person, while the main story is in third person.

In the twelfth year of Jian'an, I was born.

Before I was born, my mother dreamed she swallowed the Northern Dipper, and my father was overjoyed.

"The Northern Dipper is called the Seven Governors, the lords of Heaven, and also the Emperor's Chariot."

After forty-seven years of hard work, not only did I have an heir, but I also got an auspicious omen thrown in.

Oh, the restoration of the Han dynasty is within reach!

So my childhood name was A Dou, and my formal name was Liu Shan.

In the first year of Zhangwu, my father ascended the throne, and I was named crown prince.

In the third year of Zhangwu, before my father died, he found me a godfather in Baidi City, and I ascended the throne.

In the twelfth year of Jianxing, my godfather died at Wuzhangyuan, and I became an orphan.

Twenty-nine years later, the kingdom fell, and my family was destroyed.

I couldn't make sense of it, no matter how hard I tried. It shouldn't have happened. It absolutely shouldn't have!

Back then, I followed Uncle Yun through seven advances and seven retreats, treating Cao Cao's million-strong army as nothing.

Back then, I helped my godfather stabilize Shu Han's political situation and bring about the Three Kingdoms' tripartite balance.

Back then...

Sigh, never mind. A hero doesn't boast about past glories.

When I opened my eyes again, it was the twelfth year of Jian'an. I had been born all over again.

Oh. So it was a dream.

Hearing my father's hearty laughter, seeing my mother's relieved expression, and looking at my strong and powerful Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Uncle Yun.

Great! What a great start!

I knew I wasn't useless!

In this life, I'm going to take back everything that belongs to me!

Three SSRs are ready. I have to find my godfather, find my other uncles, restore the Han dynasty, and return the capital to its former home!

But is there someone else by my godfather's side?

Ah, I'm no longer his only kid for long.
