Mary Sue Reversal System

“Your Highness will definitely be a wise ruler.” Fu Yichen’s face didn’t change as he said this. Anyway, he has plenty of time. He wanted to see what that system was up to.

Su Zhan was overjoyed at this, which means that his strategy was successful. But at this moment, a mechanical sound suddenly appeared in his mind, which frightened him.

[Favorability——Favorability——Fav——beepbeepbeep——Fav——beepbeep——!]

The sudden sound that was followed by a series of piercing beeps frightened Su Zhan as he felt a chill go down his spine. He unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat. He raised his head, trying to cover up his gaffe, but found that the person in front of him had been looking at him without blinking. His deep eyes revealed some kind of inquiry, looking as if it could penetrate through everything.

Su Zhan panicked for no reason and forcefully smiled with a hint of guilt, saying, “With the words of the Guo-shi, bengong can rest assured.”

Su Zhan raised his eyebrows in a noncommittal manner. Fu Yichen’s face still remained unchanged as he just stared at Su Zhan’s eyes unscrupulously. So his short and subtle changes didn’t escape Fu Yichen’s eyes, even if he tried to cover them up. Fu Yichen guessed that he might not be used to the voice that suddenly popped up in his mind. Every time Film Emperor Su gets scared, he always has a short moment of stiffness, as if he were a hamster that was frightened by something and entered a state of apparent death1. It was an instinctive reaction that couldn’t be concealed, Su Zhan himself might not have noticed it. But Fu Yichen really likes to see Su Zhan like this.

“If there is nothing wrong, then Bengong shall return first.” The strange beeping sound coming from Su Zhan’s mind made him unable to stay much longer.

“Go slowly, Your Highness.” Fu Yichen remained calm, not even blinking as he watched Su Zhan turn around and walk slowly back to his quarters while pretending to be a sad and filial son. As he walked away, his pace obviously picked up a little. Fu Yichen laughed at this. Did he think that he couldn’t see?

It seemed to Fu Yichen that he could really find all of Su Zhan’s actions to be cute every time they had contact with each other. For a moment, the bitter mood he felt after being forgotten was healed in an instant. Fu Yichen looked at the back that disappeared into the night, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

Meanwhile, as soon as Su Zhan turned around, it didn’t take him a few steps to ask the system about the situation.

‘What’s going on? What happened?’ Why did the system seem to be broken?

[Favorability——Favorability——!]

Su Zhan panicked once more. ‘Are you stuck? Did you crash?’ This was something related to his life; he couldn’t just be indifferent about it.

[Beep——! The Favorability can’t be sensed.]

The voice of the system sounded like a machine with no temperature, like a low-end robot. Although the word ‘favorability’ had been appearing since a while ago, Su Zhan still didn’t understand what it meant. But from the words of the system, he can be sure of one thing: the system was trashy, and it gave off a very unreliable feeling.

‘What do you mean by favorability? Why can’t it be sensed?’

[Favorability——Favorability——!] It seemed to have gotten stuck once more.

Su Zhan: ….

It can be said that he was made speechless by this. Su Zhan was now quite worried about his own fate. But at this moment, all he could do was just listen to the system.

[Obtaining the Second Male’s smile, add 1 point. Total 3 points.]

Su Zhan’s heart moved. ‘What do you mean?’

[Once the host accumulates 1000 points, the host can leave the Mary Sue world.]

The system replied in a mechanical tone. But this time, Su Zhan finally understood. This was the first time that the system actually clearly pointed out the way back. For a moment, Su Zhan felt agitated, and his steps unconsciously lightened.

‘Then how do I get points?’ Su Zhan couldn’t wait to ask.

However, no sound came from his mind. After repeating his question several times and still not getting an answer, Su Zhan finally confirmed that his system might be a low-end version and probably a defective product. Not only does it keep getting stuck, but its ability to interact is also zero. But judging from the system’s reactions, Su Zhan figured out some tricks. The system might not be able to communicate with him, but when he triggers a key plot, it will take the initiative to pop up and give him a summary.

Well, it wasn’t that useless then. On the other hand, after Su Zhan left, Fu Yichen used the Second Male’s miraculous qigong and directly flew2 to the imperial dining room. He happened to spot the short child Female Lead going out of the imperial dining room with her waist bent and sneaking away. Bringing with her what she stole, she slipped back into the Empress’ bedroom.

Fu Yichen frowned. It seemed that the first meeting between the Male and Female Leads couldn’t be counted on. But then again, the scene was just superfluous for him. If his guess was right, Su Zhan should be aware of the plot. But he deliberately avoided it when he knew that the plot would require him to meet with the Female Lead. That is to say, his task is no longer to follow the plot.

This surprised Fu Yichen because it was completely inconsistent with the Mary Sue system he had thought of. For a while, he felt even more confused, and he could only analyze from what might happen in the future.

The national teacher originally didn’t participate in the politics of the country. He only needed to accept the worship of thousands of people in an aloof manner and maintain a sacred persona like a fortune teller. Only at times of natural disasters and catastrophes, at times of major national affairs, would the national teacher need to come forward.

Fu Yichen couldn’t really imagine what the author intended for the Second Male. Shouldn’t the national teacher be a person of high morals? Moreover, it seemed that the national teachers were all… people who left their families to be monks. Is it possible that he relies on his face for food? At least in the current known plot, except for pretending to be mysterious, he was really useless. Of course, this might simply be to give him an excuse to meet the Female Lead and facilitate contact with her.

In short, except for the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor on the second day, Fu Yichen didn’t need to appear. Similarly, the Female Lead who was promoted from Empress to Empress Dowager just after entering the palace must also appear. Because of her status as a goddess, the nine-year-old Female Lead has a certain unshakable status.

But Fu Yichen really wanted to complain about the plot. Although the ancients were superstitious, it’s also true that they regarded the emperor as their sky. However, when the old emperor passed away as soon as she married in, why wasn’t she accused of being a witch?

Speaking of the enthronement ceremony, in the eyes of the ancients, there was probably nothing more solemn and grand than this. But probably because of the author’s serious lack of knowledge in this area, the enthronement ceremony looked surprisingly simple. But Fu Yichen himself wasn’t so clear about these cumbersome rules of the ancients; he only understood about half of them. So the simpler it was, the better for him.

After reading the enthronement edict, the new emperor sat on the dragon throne, symbolizing imperial power, in front of the officials. He then accepted the three worships and nine kowtows from civil and military officials.

Fu Yichen who was the national teacher, and the nine-year-old empress dowager were the only two people who didn’t need to bow down to the emperor. So while there were hundreds of people kneeling in and outside of the palace, Fu Yichen stood on an area a few steps below Su Zhan, on his left-hand side, while looking down at the group of people kneeling.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the nine-year-old Female Lead sitting on the side, taking advantage of this time to take a peek at Su Zhan who was sitting on the dragon throne. At this time, Su Zhan was dressed in a solemn and bright yellow robe with majestic-looking dragons. Compared with Su Zhan from last night, his unblinking gaze was that of a completely different person. Not only was he looking at the people in front of him with scrutiny, but also with an indescribable sharpness. His condescending posture had already shown his nobility and deterrence. This was the expression Baili Wuji should have had. It can be said that Film Emperor Su really lived up to his name; he acted really well.

Fu Yichen tilted his body and squinted his eyes. Unconsciously, there was a flickering smile at the corner of his mouth. He didn’t know that the moment he turned around, Su Zhan’s gaze had unconsciously glanced over at him or if it was a reflexive action. But it just so happened to miss his gaze.

Just when Fu Yichen’s peripheral vision fell on Su Zhan, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Su Zhan’s mind: ‘Obtained the Second Male’s look of satisfaction. Add 1 point.’

Su Zhan reflexively turned his head slightly to look at the figure standing on his left. But he only saw the tall, straight figure of the person. He was tall and powerful, especially when he3 looked at him from behind at such a close distance. With the soft and silky robes of the ancients against the backdrop of the scene, Su Zhan only felt that this man’s figure was simply perfect.

Tall and straight-postured, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with long legs and hips… upturned hips. Su Zhan suddenly turned his eyes away, feeling hotness on his face. He then straightened his posture as if to cover up his actions. “Beloved subjects, rise.”

So, Su Zhan, who was too guilty to look at Fu Yichen, happened to miss his gaze. Fu Yichen’s face was expressionless, and an imperceptible smile was on the corner of his mouth. Previously, the favorability prompt increasing came into his mind, and he suddenly thought of a question.

Su Zhan himself, in fact, likes men. He especially likes to look at and like men secretly.

From Shen Tianyu to Leng Qianshang and then to Gu Chenfeng, he had always been inconsistent. But every time he meets him, he feels that Su Zhan is really cute.

After the three worships and nine kowtows of the officials, the new emperor’s morning court would follow. From now on, Baili Wuji will be the supreme ruler of the country, or at least on the surface.

So, as a new boss who took office, he was going to implement some new policies. Let alone the Emperor of a country, Baili Wuji’s current situation is a bit embarrassing. Apart from the old emperor’s will, there was Fu Yichen, the national teacher, who was standing beside him for no apparent reason. In the original setting, as the crown prince, he had no strong support behind him, which directly caused several princes who were intending to compete with him to eye his throne.

The only reason Baili Wuji was able to ascend the throne this time was because they didn’t want to be accused of patricide or resisting the edict. The ancients felt these were taboos, no matter how ambitious they were. In other words, even though Baili Wuji is sitting on the throne right now, his situation is not much better than when he was the crown prince.

So it was not surprising that things were made difficult. It’s just that the author wrote it in a complex way. Fu Yichen was so embarrassed by this.

Probably inspired by their respective supporters, the ministers stepped forward one by one to announce important matters. Some talked about the drought in a certain place, some talked about the flood in another place, and some asked the emperor to hold a draft to choose a concubine as soon as possible to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family. But the most serious thing was brought up by the third prince, which was the bandits in Jiangnan that grew over the years.

Fu Yichen frowned. The previous reports were all appetizers, only this one was a hard rock. As mentioned in the first thirty chapters, the bandits of Jiangnan existed even while the old emperor was still in power. But it hadn’t been resolved for more than ten years. It was obvious that it wasn’t the right topic to bring up at the new emperor’s enthronement ceremony, obviously because the speaker in question didn’t have high expectations of him.

But in fact, Baili Wuji is also an ambitious person. Not only was he ambitious, but he was also very scheming. So the real Baili Wuji was far from the generous and benevolent image that he had shown people before. It just so happened that he wanted to take advantage of these bandits to establish his prestige in court. So the third prince making things difficult for him was actually something that he wanted.

Sure enough, Fu Yichen tilted his head and saw an imperceptible sneer on the corner of Su Zhan’s mouth. But at this time, according to the plot, it was the Female Lead’s turn to play her part.

Sure enough, when all the ministers were at a loss and seemed to have a headache, the Female Lead sneered with the voice of a nine-year-old child. Immediately, everyone’s eyes focused on the petite body of the Female Lead.

“Does Muhou4 have any opinions on this?”

Mo…mother, the corners of Fu Yichen’s mouth twitched, suddenly feeling admiration for Su Zhan. He was really dedicated enough to call a nine-year-old child such a thing. It was really hard on him.

In fact, Fu Yichen wasn’t the only person whose mouth twitched. Ghost knows that when he called out the title, Su Zhan couldn’t wait to go back on it and scold the author, who can write this sort of thing.

However, all the civil and military officials in the palace had normal expressions at this time. The Female Lead sneered again and made her ‘world-startling’ remarks. “To be able to make decisions at the age of nine, as expected of a goddess reincarnate.”

“For a single bandit problem that can’t be solved in ten years, there’s only one explanation.” The Female Lead glanced around with her immature eyes and then threw out a few words loudly, “The officials and bandits have colluded!”

As soon as the words fell, the court was stunned. Fu Yichen and Su Zhan only felt that the expressions of the group performers were really exaggerated. Besides, are these people raised by the imperial court a bunch of waste? No one knew the answer to this question? Was it really hard to think of?

“Enough.” Su Zhan finally waved his hand to settle the chaotic court and the disdainful Female Lead. “Zhen will find a way to solve this matter. Today’s court ends here.”

Today’s court was nothing more than receiving some hidden sneers. Fu Yichen’s face didn’t change as he prepared to leave. But he thought of the original plot in his heart. The Male Lead had planned to use this bandit incident to make a name for himself and had immediately decided to go for a visit in disguise while bringing the Female Lead along. He was trying to think of an excuse to tag along, but at this moment, a voice sounded from behind him. Fu Yichen’s legs, which were about to take a step away, stopped immediately.

“Guo-shi.”

Fu Yichen turned his head and saw Su Zhan smiling at him with an emperor’s smile5. Fu Yichen raised his eyebrows and asked, “Does the Emperor have any matters?”

“Guo-shi can stay back for now. Zhen still has some things to discuss with the Guo-shi alone.” The emperor’s disguised flattery came. 

Fu Yichen raised his eyebrows once more. There seemed to be dozens of probing eyes behind him, coming from the courtiers. Then, Fu Yichen cupped his hands in a resolute manner and said, “It would be Chen’s greatest honor.”

Su Zhan’s system is really interesting.
