The third year of Wanli’s reign, in spring.

The Grand Secretary Zhang Juzheng reinstated the practice of keeping the Veritable Records (Qiju Zhu), assigning the duty to the Hanlin historians on a rotating basis.

From that moment on—

Shen Nian, third-ranked Jinshi from the year Xinwei of the fifth Longqing reign, Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Compiler at the Hanlin Court, Zhang Juzheng’s most outstanding disciple, and lifelong nemesis of the Wanli Emperor,

—thus began his career as court chronicler.

That day, the young Wanli Emperor got drunk and missed an imperial lecture.

Shen Nian straightened his back and wrote:

“His Majesty, drunk, missed the imperial lecture. The Empress Dowager and the Grand Secretary rebuked him sternly, even speaking of dethronement.”

That month, a large number of eunuchs were appointed as mining and tax commissioners, extorting wealth from the people.

Shen Nian raised his chin and wrote:

“Before the throne, I declared: ‘The disasters of monopolies and mining taxes are entirely the Emperor’s fault.’”

That year, the Wanli Emperor neither performed the suburban sacrifices, nor paid respects at ancestral temples. He refused audiences, ignored memorials, and ceased court lectures.

Shen Nian and his fellow historians cried aloud:

“Better to die speaking than live in silence. The greatest honor of a court historian is to be killed by the Emperor.”

⸻

Shen Nian said:

“I must be ill. I can’t sleep at all.

I have contracted Zhang Juzheng’s illness—the burden of holding up a collapsing sky—

but I was not destined for Zhang Juzheng’s fate.

In a daze, I saw the Grand Secretariat reduced to two people:

one drafting memorials—that was me;

one issuing imperial replies—that was also me.”

As a strong second generation, Ye Chuan's favorite thing is to tease his childhood sweetheart and live a happy life with the elves.

However, many years later, a reporter was lucky enough to interview him——

"Why does Mr. Ye always like to praise his opponents?"

"Because I think every trainer has his own strengths and weaknesses, and winning or losing is normal."

"What about you, Mr. Ye?"

Facing reporters’ questions, Ye Chuan smiled slightly:

"I'm invincible."

This book is also known as: "My parents force me to be invincible", "The Trainer Alliance is my home", "My childhood sweetheart wants me to confess", "I am just an ordinary trainer passing by"...

[GL Yuri] "Don't Even Think About GL" by Beggar Who Asks for Wine [Completed + Extra Chapters] Synopsis: That night, Qiao Yan and her nemesis Zhou Xiyun ended up in the same bed, completely out of it. Afterwards, according to Qiao Yan's recollection, although they were both drunk and completely out of their minds, they definitely didn't do anything inappropriate, except… they kissed in a moment of confusion. When she woke up, Zhou Xiyun's face was extremely ugly; she wanted nothing more than to strangle her. Qiao Yan guiltily backed away, her back against the headboard, determined not to lose face, resolutely…

Don't pay attention!! Give it a low score! Lower it! Lower it! Give it a low score!!

I had a heart attack!

Plagiarism is prohibited. This book ends here.

Parallel dimensions, a distorted world. Just for fun, no negative influences, don't overthink it.

This is purely fictional. Do not imitate it or apply it too much to real-world values. All close friends are adults (personal setting).

Just enjoy the show.

Warnings: Poor writing style, just wanting a happy ending. Some names are purely random and coincidental, please don't use your brain. The timeline is messy and the logic is terrible. Slow-burn (not just the plot is slow...), a heartthrob, all-male, no main couple, fast-paced romance, the women are villains. Lots of out-of-character moments, many personal interpretations and modifications.

The female lead possesses gravity abilities, but she doesn't follow that character setting. However, everyone else will absolutely be a mess, absolutely a mess! A complete and utter mess!! There are many personal interpretations.

(I'm terrible at writing introductions)

After traveling through time, I found myself in four relationships. I didn't want to be "Cheng Ge" and broke up with everyone. I never thought I would open a copy of hell! Zhang Yuanying: Every time we meet, I will leave a mark on you! Liu Zhimin: Every night, I will appear by your side! …………

Li Sanniang went through a lot of hardships to resume her medical practice, but ended up with one of the most handsome men in Chang'an wanting to marry her?

Li Sanniang thought that she only needed to do her best to cure diseases and save lives, but Lord Di insisted that she help investigate the case!

Li Sanniang was very happy when she met the beautiful Hu girl, but the Hu girl came to seek treatment for syphilis!

There actually are bad guys in the Tang Dynasty, and there are cute little sisters in the bad guys, so I want to be close to them.

Li Sanniang’s ultimate goal in life: to save the world and bring health to the world!

A photographer who doesn’t want to be a director is not a good photographer!

"You're just a photographer and you want to be a director?"

"What are you talking about? Everyone knows that among domestic directors, our photography department is the one who has the final say!"

Suddenly there was an opportunity to step into this circle.

Chen An decided not to care about so many things and just enjoy himself first!
