His Majesty's Empire Is Under Renovation

share time: 2025-12-26 00:30:17

Emperor Xiao Jingyun of the Great Zhou Dynasty wakes up to find his palace turned into a modern cultural relic restoration site—his dragon chair covered in dust cloth, the imperial garden fenced off with construction barriers, and even his personal eunuch replaced by workers in reflective vests. To add insult to injury, Lin Xiaoman, head of the restoration team, not only chases him away as a "trespassing tourist" but also mocks, "This is a national cultural heritage site; your emperor has been dead for 800 years." Xiao tries frantically to prove his identity: his imperial jade seal is mistaken for a replica, his imperial edict is laughed off as cosplay—until Lin produces a yellowed secret edict, signed in his own hand on his deathbed: "I permit future generations to restore the Great Zhou Palace." It turns out he secretly left the edict fearing his empire would vanish, wanting the Great Zhou Palace to "live" a thousand years later. Now, an ancient emperor desperate to "reclaim" his empire and a modern restorer determined to "revive" it are forced to team up: tackling millennium-old termites in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, uncovering the founding edict hidden in the imperial well, and most crucially—why did Xiao travel through time? Is this cross-millennial "renovation" a "foreshadow" he planted, or a "reset" by fate?
