Disciple of the Pope

On the eve of his coronation, Xiao Qingming's soul is snatched away, abruptly thrust into modern society, where he discovers he was merely an NPC in an emperor-raising game. On the day the game shuts down, he returns to the throne, carrying memories of the modern world and the game's gacha system. Amidst a nation plagued by internal strife and foreign threats, his war-minded royal tutor Yu Xingzhou is imprisoned, while the general who fought for him is stripped of military power. The crown prince of an enemy nation advances to the capital, eyeing him covetously and even declaring intent to drag him into the royal harem. Xiao Qingming smiles gracefully: *Heh, splendid.* *Let’s start with a ten-pull.* This lifetime, he vows to become a wise ruler for the ages. Diligent in governance, reforming bureaucracy, enacting laws, cutting waste, enriching the state, strengthening the military—reclaiming the heavens through farming and infrastructure. Clad in imperial robes, crowned in majesty, gripping the Sword of the Son of Heaven, he gazes down upon a world of submission, with nations bowing at his feet. ※ In Xiao Qingming's childhood memories, Yu Xingzhou was a gentle scholar, peeling pine nuts to feed him with tender hands. Now reunited in prison, he has become the domineering, enigmatic royal tutor and regent, wielding immense power. Years later, the emperor, having ushered in a golden age, receives obeisance from his officials, who urge him to take an empress and secure the royal lineage. That night, the ever-proper royal tutor clutches Xiao Qingming’s shoulders in court robes, his dark hair spilling over the pillow, eyes burning with intensity: *"Your Majesty needs only this humble servant."* Xiao Qingming chuckles: *"Granted."* One day, Xiao Qingming studies a freshly drawn SSR item card—[*Fertility Egg* x1]—and muses, *"Tutor, let Us show you a treasure."* Yu Xingzhou coughs lightly, the tips of his eyes flushed pink: *"It’s still daylight, Your Majesty."* Xiao Qingming: *"?" So this is who you really are...* ※ —*"To rule the world by day and rest on a beauty’s lap by night—perfection."* —*"Your Majesty, could you shift to the other side? My lap’s gone numb."* 1V1, plot-driven, featuring a dominant emperor x a cunning royal tutor.
