All of my concubines are talented.

Reincarnated into this body, I ascended the throne at the age of five, assumed full power at fifteen, and now at the age of twenty-five. During my reign, I learned glassmaking, soap making, developed cement, and bred rice. I taught the empress dowager to play mahjong for leisure, led my soldiers to barbecue in the frontier, established the royal bank, and repaired the main roads of each province. This led to a prosperous era of peace under the mighty Mount Yue! However, the good times did not last long, as the world became unpredictable. Massive floods in the southeast, severe droughts in the northwest, frequent earthquakes, and border troubles disrupted the peace that had lasted for a long time. Upon the earnest request of my courtiers who had enjoyed peace for so long, I issued a decree to admit my own faults and pray to the heavens sincerely. I chuckled, for this is a historical fiction, and you all seemed to have stumbled upon the wrong channel. Thus, I issued four imperial edicts and dispatched three envoys, and within just over two months, the court was no longer filled with complaints. The decree to admit faults was merely a joke, for I still intend to perform the Taishan mountain worship to chat with the heavens. On an auspicious day atop Mount Tai, the young emperor, full of spirit and vigor, is ready to embark on this momentous occasion. Just then, a person, wielding a sword, emerged from the clouds, forever changing my perception of the world...

The Night Emperor

He inherited a position without succession, yet he is not of royal blood; he comes from a prestigious family, yet he is not from a noble lineage. As one of the heads of the Six Doors, he initially intended to dutifully pass down the iron rice bowl handed down by his ancestors through generations. However, he never expected to be deceived by a charlatan and lose his little world. From that moment on, a formidable figure emerged. He proclaimed himself as a selfless friend who would sacrifice himself for others, but wherever he went, he would always hide away those with virtuous wives and noble daughters, never daring to reveal them to the public. He claimed to have a pure and kind nature, but only to avoid serving under his superior, he amusingly used the excuse of "filial piety" to happily resign from his high-ranking position and return to his hometown. He declared himself a loyal subject, but because of him, the diligent Emperor Wanli no longer attended court early. Yang Ling is known as "Yang the Beheader" by the people, while Yang Fan is called "Plague Doctor", but he has even more nicknames to his name – "Mad Historian," "Ass-Carrying Official," "Night Emperor"... Each nickname represents one of his legends.
