Lin Baige, carrying his small clinic, transmigrated to become the favored consort of a tyrant. He happened to arrive at the moment the original host had stabbed the tyrant, and in just one month, the enemy army would invade and drag him to the guillotine.
He let out a sharp cry and quickly stitched up the tyrant's wound! The tyrant was a love-struck fool who had grown up with the original host. Despite everyone's objections, he made the original host his only favored consort in the harem.
However, the original host was in love with the enemy nation's hostage prince. To save the hostage prince, he did not hesitate to enter the palace as a male consort, using the emperor's love for him to stir up trouble in the court. He would often cuddle in the emperor's arms, playfully suggesting things akin to lighting beacon fires for amusement, and the emperor would always dotingly agree.
Eventually, the emperor became known as a tyrant, and uprisings broke out across the country. The original host took advantage of the chaos, killed the emperor, and released the hostage prince. The hostage prince then led the enemy army to destroy the original host's country.
The original host waited for the prince to fulfill his promise of making him empress, but in the end, he was pushed onto the guillotine. The prince told the long-resentful populace that he was destined by heaven to unify the four states, quell the wars, and bring prosperity to all their people.
In reality, all the murders and arsons were committed by the prince under the guise of the original host, and the emperor had suppressed these matters for the original host. During the final reckoning, all the bad deeds were attributed to the original host instigating the emperor, while the prince became the 'wise ruler' in the eyes of the common people. The prince also failed to fulfill his promise; after the four states were unified, the people of the other three states all became slaves to the prince's nation.
After Lin Baige transmigrated, he saved the tyrant and executed the hostage prince. He became the favored consort, and since the emperor was a love-struck fool, wouldn't the entire nation be his?
Looking at this impoverished country that only focused on its military, relying on imports for every other industry, he rolled up his sleeves and vigorously developed agriculture and infrastructure!
The officials watched him recruit large numbers of corvée laborers again, thinking he was going to waste money and manpower building an observatory. They submitted memorials impeaching him, but no observatory was built. Instead, salt wells and iron mines were constructed one after another.
As long as Lin Baige acted a little spoiled and whispered sweet nothings to the emperor, the emperor would agree to anything. It was just that this 'pillow talk' was very taxing on his waist.
He suggested promoting potato and corn cultivation nationwide (breaking his waist). He suggested building water conservancy projects (breaking his waist). He suggested tax reductions (breaking his waist). He suggested... (breaking his waist).
