The Tang Dynasty Editor

Lin Yue, a variety show editor, transmigrated.

He ended up as a temporary employee at the Tang dynasty's Historical Records Office, three hundred in debt and facing a layoff the next day. Then he bound himself to the [Sky Screen Editing System]: access the original footage, edit it anew, and show it to all under heaven.

He edited the Xuanwu Gate Incident as "The Crown Prince's Rebellion Is Put Down." He turned the Alliance at the Wei River into "His Majesty Is Cool as a Cucumber." After watching, Li Shimin said, "Nice edit. Go edit the next one."

He sent Wei Zheng a price list of compromising information, charged an express fee to craft Wu Zetian's public image, and edited An Lushan into a laughingstock. The rebels mutinied on the eve of their uprising, and An Lushan was beheaded by his own men.

Later, he opened the Tang dynasty's first editing shop. The aristocratic clans hated him, the court historians cursed him, and the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion blacklisted him. His response was to expose the algorithm behind the talent rankings: they weren't based on ability, but on how much you'd paid.

All of Chang'an was in an uproar.

System notification: Host, the neighboring military governor would like you to edit a clip called "Utterly Loyal." The payment is one thousand gold.

Lin Yue set down his teacup. "Take it. But charge extra."

Others transmigrate by meditating. He transmigrates by editing. Edit one person, and they become a sensation; edit a group, and you can walk all over everyone. You curse me, I'll edit you. You sue me, I'll edit your whole family. You ask for my help, I'll charge you.
