Quick Transmigration: The Divine-Looking Host is Always Pampered by a Powerful Boss

"Jingzhou Daily: A tomb has been unearthed at a park under construction in the northern part of the city. Preliminary surveys indicate it dates back to the Yan Kingdom a thousand years ago..."

"Dear viewers, several days have passed since the last excavation of the tomb. Archaeological experts from various fields have gathered and speculated that the tomb's occupant is most likely Yan Jiheng, a wise ruler of the Yan Dynasty, and his son, General Chi Chuzhuo, who is in charge of protecting the country."

"Based on the existing tools, there were no corpses in the coffin, only two well-preserved, ornately styled, but darkened red robes, which are suspected to be the wedding attire of the emperor and empress."

"The tomb was dug deeper and deeper, and the burial objects were countless. The Yan Emperor's Mausoleum, which had been talked about for thousands of years, finally saw the light of day again, but the remains of the Yan Emperor were never found. So where were the historical Yan Emperor and his male wife buried?"

……

Inside Kyochow University.

"Students, it has been a year since the Yan Emperor's Mausoleum was unearthed. Last week, a lot of related artifacts were deciphered. I believe those who are interested in this topic know what I'm going to talk about in this class." An elderly professor in his seventies, wearing reading glasses and holding a thermos, stepped onto the podium.

The male student in the third row raised his hand and said, "Professor, we would like to hear the story of Emperor Yan and his male wife. Could you tell us about it? Recently, a lot of unofficial histories have surfaced online, saying that their marriage was to consolidate the Yan dynasty's power and was an ancient version of political alliance."

The male student's remarks also aroused the curiosity of others, and the students asked questions all at once.

The history professor adjusted his reading glasses and banged his ruler on the podium: "Quiet down, you're all so gossipy in school. Alright, before we officially start class, I'll tell you something."

"Among the more than thirty emperors of the Yan Kingdom, only the Yan Emperor not only married a male wife, but also had a harem that was not even real. He only had General Chi in his life."

"I've also seen some of the messages circulating online, saying that Emperor Yan is indifferent to love and only has the ambition to develop a prosperous Yan Dynasty. General Chi's marriage to Emperor Yan was out of necessity, only because the Chi family is loyal and willing to serve the emperor..." The history professor, with deep wrinkles and a refined and easygoing demeanor, continued, "Actually, he's really overthinking it."

"During the reign of the Great Yan Dynasty, or rather, throughout the entire feudal dynasty, the only emperor who can be called a great emperor of all time is our Emperor Yan, whose name will be remembered in history. The prosperous Yan Dynasty was thus ushered in and laid a solid foundation."

"The Emperor and Empress of Yan traveled incognito to observe the people's conditions. They then compiled the information they collected into a book so that the next emperor could address the problems accordingly. This made a great contribution to the livelihood of the people of Yan for the next hundred years."

"Among the cultural relics unearthed in the Chengbei District Park, there is a well-preserved imperial daily record book, which is 70% intact. Although it is called a daily record book, the contents of this book are more focused on the daily life of the emperor and empress."

"Regarding the Yan Emperor's spouse, everyone knows that he was a military general who defended the country and defeated the Xiongnu. He was later appointed as the Grand General Who Protects the Country and married the Yan Emperor."

"There is such a thing in the daily records. After being restored by many experts, I will convey the general meaning of what they deciphered."

"It is said that one night, our Emperor Yan was sent to sleep in a side hall by General Chi for some reason. Emperor Yan wanted to sneak in in the middle of the night, but was stopped by the dutiful chief eunuch. I don't remember exactly what was said, but it was something like General Chi would be angry if he went in again. Emperor Yan was wary of this and after thinking it over, he returned to the side hall."

"The next day, after the court session, Emperor Yan went to General Chi to seek peace. He even took on the task of serving dishes to the palace servants, serving whatever General Chi requested, without complaining at all."

The history professor paused, unscrewed his thermos, took a sip of tea, closed the lid, and continued, "The last record in the Imperial Daily states that General Chi usually addressed the Emperor of Yan by his full name, which would have been a grave offense of disrespect in ancient times. Their marriage was definitely not a political alliance as some unofficial histories suggest. The affection between the Emperor of Yan and General Chi was immeasurable."

The female student with pigtails in the front row said excitedly, "I knew it! The unofficial history is made up. They admire General Chi, but they can't have him, so they spread rumors that His Majesty coerced them. It's outrageous!"

Her best friend also said, "Just because the harem is empty, they forcibly gave our Emperor Yan the title of 'career-obsessed.' Can't an emperor be devoted to one woman? Speechless. Does an emperor have to have three palaces and six courtyards? Can't people in ancient times have pure love? Such backward thinking is even worse than Emperor Yan in feudal society."

"Got it, I can ship the Emperor and Empress couple now without worry."

"I'm an omnivore; they're the emperor, the ministers, and the empress anyway."

"What kind of fairytale romance is this? Even the emperor has to sleep in his study?"

As more and more of the daily records of the Yan Emperor were deciphered, the hypothesis theory faded from the scene.

After a long time, the Yan Emperor's Mausoleum was excavated again, adding another chapter to the historical record.

According to records, Emperor Yan appointed General Chi as his personal bodyguard upon their first meeting. During the eight years that General Chi fought against the Xiongnu, the two were often separated, with Emperor Yan constantly traveling between the border and the capital. It sounds like Emperor Yan fell in love at first sight, while General Chi seemed more like a career-driven individual.

The internet erupted again, with netizens discussing the matter extensively.

"It is said that His Majesty is a handsome and profound natural emperor. How handsome must General Chi, who is as bright as the morning sun in the history books, be? He made the arrogant Emperor Yan fall in love at first sight... Why didn't the Records of the Grand Historian record more useful things? I ask three questions every day: why didn't the portrait survive? I want to see General Chi in his fine clothes and riding a spirited horse. I'm so angry that the court painters didn't do a good job. Waaaaah."

"Friend upstairs, it might not be that the court painters were incompetent. I reasonably suspect that His Majesty the Emperor of Yan was too possessive and didn't want the world to see it. After all, General Chi is a famous general throughout history."

"They're both career-driven, so it's okay if I ship them as a couple, right?"

"Still arguing? I know that a career-driven persona is popular, but for this emperor and empress, I'd tentatively vote for the love-struck one. Jingzhou isn't far from Meng Province. If the Yan Emperor lived in modern times, he'd probably fly there in the morning and return in the evening, seeing each other every day. A capable ruler traveling back and forth for love—how can that not be love-struck?"

"General Chi is so cool! A spirited young general, he killed the Xiongnu king at seventeen and reclaimed two cities for the Yan Dynasty. At eighteen, he went to war again and defeated the Xiongnu. His Majesty the Emperor of Yan ascended the throne amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood. He risked his life to eliminate powerful families and created a safe haven for scholars from humble backgrounds. From then on, feudal society was no longer monopolized by powerful families. Their love story is a perfect match for everyone."

"According to the Records of the Grand Historian, on the day of the emperor and empress's wedding, rosy clouds descended from the sky, and divine birds danced to accompany them. It sounds like superstition, but I love to read about it. It's a pure love story from ancient times. Click to read the love story of Emperor Yan and General Chi."

Years later, the true location of the coffins of Emperor Yan and General Chi was still not found.

But no one questioned the emperor and empress's feelings for each other anymore; they were ruler and subject, but also each other's beloved.

At night, Chu Zhuo yawned.

The small countries that paid tribute were indeed frightened. Upon returning home, they voluntarily doubled their tribute and rushed to send any rare treasures they discovered, claiming it was a tribute to His Majesty the Celestial Empire.

Yan Jiheng held his chin, which nearly slammed into the table with a thud: "Zhuobao doesn't need to stay with me. Go to sleep if you're sleepy."

"No, I promised you." Chu Zhuo declared firmly, "Even if I have to spend the night in a chair, Your Majesty, you can't make me go back on my word."

Helpless, Yan Jiheng put down his pen, ignored the remaining memorials, turned around and picked him up: "Let's go, let's sleep together."

"Okay." Chu Zhuo's voice was a little lazy as she casually started a conversation, "Yan Jiheng, how do you think future generations will remember us?"

Yan Jiheng replied without hesitation: "It's a match made in heaven, we're perfectly compatible, and our love is boundless."

All of them are good words.

Chu Zhuo smiled, nestled against the man's chest, and slowly closed her eyes, her voice gradually lowering: "I also feel that Yan Jiheng is full of love. Yan Jiheng, Yan Jiheng, go to sleep. Staying up too late will kill you. We must live a long life..."

Yan Jiheng poured all the affection from his eyes into the precious treasure in his arms, and gently kissed his weary brow: "I'll listen to you."
