Li Yun transmigrates to a parallel world, where he becomes an ordinary short-video editor.

From the start, Li Yun edits a video ranking the Ten Golden Ages... Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Xun: “I am an emperor of the Han dynasty who once served time in prison, the great-grandson of Emperor Wu.

I ended the age of warlords, became the first emperor whom foreign peoples honored as a Sage Khagan, and ushered in the Kaihuang Golden Age.” Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin: “Setting aside the fact that I killed my brother and imprisoned my father, since ascending the throne I have put capable people to good use and humbly accepted advice.
