Shen Yuan transmigrates as the young tyrant emperor of some world he knows absolutely nothing about.
He has a System, but it’s the type of System that doesn’t actually do much. It just tells him he’s a tyrant, sticks labels on people he’s meant to know (showing their names and job titles) and maybe offers a very basic lore codex.
It’s fine, Shen Yuan knows how this transmigration thing works! He just has to put together some context clues and keep an eye out for any drama. Maybe make his rule a bit less tyrannical, so the inevitable protagonist will simply exile him instead of something more severe like execution. It’s a perfect plan!
Not long after transmigrating, an old woman in rags with milky white eyes bursts into his throne room, yelling about his empire’s doom.
Rather than kicking her out —as everyone expected— Shen Yuan starts excitedly asking question and tells his aids to write down everything she says!
A young man from a small town by the Luo river will rise up and take the throne you say? Any idea which town…? How about which county then?
Hmm, is there any information about the inciting incident that inspires his revolution? Is there some plague or famine on the horizon that’s going to cause trouble the people? Maybe a local corrupt official is abusing his authority?
In the end there is not much to go on.
Everyone almost seems to expect him to burn down every Luo river village or some nonsense, which would be foolish! When has harassing random villages ever done anything but make a protagonist righteously angry?
No, what Shen Yuan actually does is pull out all the reform plans he’s been “idly” thinking up. Plans to root out corruption, plans for improving roads and other basic infrastructure, plans for storing and preserving food in case of famine, plans to aid the poor by giving out basic food rations and warm clothing in struggling areas, plans to build and fund free schools that teach basic math and literacy, plans for larger schools in bigger cities with more advanced lessons, vocational training programs, and subsidized or free tuition for gifted children, and so on.
If some small town boy will be the next ruler, Shen Yuan must make certain he at least has a decent enough childhood and the basic education necessary to rule well, right? Plus it’s much more likely he’ll be able to retire gracefully if one of his programs successfully helps out the protagonist!
Of course, our dear protagonist Luo Binghe really is helped out by Shen Yuan’s efforts, even if he still ends up stuck by other types of misfortune. It’s crystal clear to him the emperor is great and benevolent, even if some people try to undermine him abuse his kindness!
After seeing a glimpse of the emperor as he surveys the results of his efforts, Binghe’s heart is set aflame. The emperor is peerlessly beautiful as well as kind! If only Binghe were his equal, he would gladly beg for even a single touch of his hand. 🥰
In the background the System Admin despairs over its decision to attach a limited interference module to the new Shen Qingqiu.
At least there are a bunch of grumpy nobles around that can be reliably nudged into rebelling... If they manage to take over and the protagonist then rebels against them —in honor of the dead emperor— that still counts, right?
…
Actually, in light of the protagonist’s feelings, he might even be willing to take the throne of the empress instead, and become a regent prince. System Admin will just have to wait and see.

shizun shen yuan is powerful. but no one talks enough about the power of shixiong shen yuan. calling you shimei/shidi. getting head pats and praise from your shixiong hits different than if he were your shizun. as your shixiong, you’d have more opportunities to be around him and go on missions with him. do you see the vision. Shixiong Shen Yuan…
I SEE THE VISION! Actually @lonesplashy and I have a whole au dedicated to this

We give Lan Zhan a lot of flack for not being clear about why he wanted wwx to come to Gusu.
But imagine. You have to tell a guy who has just tortured a man to death and is /very clearly/ crashing out "Listen, this comes from a place of love. This isn't like you. I think you might be very sick. I'm very worried. Please come with me so we can get you some help."
And his pissed off little brother is there and he's going to both interrupt you at an unoppurtune moment and misinterpret what you've said
ANd you average 30 words a day
AND you weren't expecting your man to even be there
#exactly this#sometimes it feels like people expect him to do therapy speech and act as if he just left communication training
