Starting as an Outcast, I Help the Empress Secure Her Empire

share time: 2025-10-31 00:30:45

Modern office worker Lin Chuan stayed up late binge-watching a xuanhuan (fantasy) drama, only to wake up as the "useless outcast" abandoned by his family in the story. Moments later, he stumbles upon Empress Chu Zhaotang being besieged by traitors. Just in time, he bonds with the "Founding Empire Assistance System." Leveraging his modern workplace "slacking hacks" + system perks, Lin Chuan helps Chu Zhaotang escape danger—using stinky tofu to lure pursuers, breaking the rebels' plans with PPT-style battle maps, and even calming the fiery empress with milk tea. As they fight side by side, Lin Chuan uncovers the pain of familial betrayal hidden beneath Chu Zhaotang's icy exterior; meanwhile, Chu Zhaotang realizes this "worthless outcast" is actually her most reliable "anchor." When the empire nears peace, Lin Chuan gets a system mission: "Either stay in this world as the empress's consort, or go back to modern life as an office drone." His choice becomes the sweetest suspense.
