Chapter 1: Crossing Over to Become a Sovereign

  "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

  In a daze, Ding Yuan heard an unfamiliar female voice. Although the voice was unfamiliar, it sounded extremely soft and pleasant to listen to. What's even stranger is that this language didn't seem to be Chinese, but rather an unfamiliar language. However, strangely enough, he could understand it.

  Ding Yuan suddenly had an epiphany and abruptly opened his eyes.

  "Great, Your Majesty has woken up! I'll go inform General Ji Liao immediately!"

  When Ding Yuan opened his eyes and woke up, the woman was obviously very excited. Seeing Ding Yuan wake up, she immediately ran out quickly.

  Ding Yuan's eyes widened as he looked around, "Good grief, where are we?!"

  Looking at the magnificent golden palace, poor Ding Yuan, a homebody, had never seen such a scene before. He immediately jumped up from the red wooden bed with gold inlays, shouting out loud, his voice echoing loudly and filling the entire palace with his wailing cries.

  Upon hearing Ding Yuan's shout, a man clad in armor rushed in and came before Ding Yuan. With a 'thud', the man knelt down on one knee and begged for forgiveness: "Your Majesty, your subordinate is incompetent, allowing Your Majesty to be disturbed, deserving of death ten thousand times over, please forgive this crime!"

  Looking at this majestic and handsome man kneeling in front of me, calling himself "Your Majesty!"

  Ding Yuan was a bit confused, "What's going on here, could it be that I really did cross over like the main character in an online novel?"

  A doubt arose in his mind, fortunately, Ding Yuan, who was cool and loved the internet, had a top-notch mental quality, and his face didn't change at all, but instead, he felt an inexplicable excitement inside.

  Ding Yuan thought for a moment, looking at the majestic man still kneeling on one knee. He vaguely learned from the woman's shouting as she ran out that this person was called something like "General Ju Liao". Knowing he couldn't let him kneel for long, Ding Yuan immediately said: "General Ju Liao, please get up!"

  Ji You rose to his feet, looking ashamed, and said: "Your Majesty's humble servant is responsible for Your Majesty's safety, yet allowed Your Majesty to be disturbed. This is a crime punishable by death!"

  Looking at the man in front of him with a terrified expression, Ding Yuan's eyes lit up as he thought that this otaku and loser had never experienced such an overwhelming and powerful kneel.

  "Could it be that I really crossed over and became the ruler of a country, with the power to kill or spare, control the lives and deaths of tens of thousands, hold the reins of heaven in my hands, and sleep on the knees of beautiful women?"

  Thinking of this, Ding Yuan's saliva 'almost' stayed behind, "And just now I vaguely noticed that the woman who ran out, her figure and appearance are all the goddess in the hearts of us otaku!"

  Looking at the emperor's lifeless eyes, seemingly slightly dazed, General Ji Ling immediately panicked: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Quick, call the imperial physician!"

  Affected by General Ji You's roar, Ding Yuan finally woke up from his daze. Perhaps it was because his body was too weak, and he fell back onto the red wooden bed with a thud.

  Seeing Ding Yuan's weak appearance, Ji Ling shouted loudly: "Where is the imperial physician? Why hasn't he come yet?"

  "My goodness, General Jiaoliao's voice is too loud!" Ding Yuan lay in bed and didn't even bother to get up. He still hadn't figured out the situation, but according to the online transmigration manual, pretending to be ill seemed like the best option at the moment.

  Before long, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old with a rosy complexion and white teeth, accompanied by an elderly man who was carrying a wooden box, walked into the palace.

  This Jiuliao General was obviously an impatient person, immediately stepped forward to take over the old man's box and said: "Wen Taizhong, you quickly take a look, His Majesty seems to have a brain... this is not quite right!" Realizing his own mistake, after finishing speaking, this Jiuliao General also subtly pointed to his head.

  Ding Yuan looked at Wen Taiyi, who seemed to have some skills, and felt a little uneasy in his heart. He secretly thought: "I hope they won't find out that I'm an imposter!"

  Dr. Wen nodded and began to examine Ding Yuan, who was slightly trembling at this time. Dr. Wen gently massaged Ding Yuan for a while, which was strange, under Dr. Wen's massage, Ding Yuan actually felt calm and his mind relaxed, "What's the point of worrying? When we get to the mountain, there will be a way, worrying is useless!"

  After a while, Wen Taiyi stood up.

  "Dr. Wen, how are you?"

  General Jiu Liao was extremely anxious and hastily asked.

  Wen Taiyi slightly shook his head, "General, may I have a word with you?"

  After Wen Taiyi pulled General Ju Liao away, he sighed and said softly: "Alas, Your Majesty... it seems that Your Majesty's brain has suffered a severe impact, possibly causing some damage to your memory!"

  General Juliao's face turned red with shame, and he said: "It's all my fault for failing to protect Your Majesty from this great disaster. Alas! Is there really no way for Imperial Physician Wen to save him?"

  Seeing Wen Taizong's solemn nod, Jiuliao General said with great sorrow: "This general is really guilty of death, ashamed to face the ancestors of Che Longguo, and even more sorry for the heavy responsibility entrusted by the former emperor!"

  Looking at the majestic General Jiliao crying so miserably, Ding Yuan slightly straightened his back and became very curious: "What's going on here? What could make a man cry to such an extent?"

  After a while, General Jiuliao seemed to have come up with a solution with Doctor Wen, so he wiped away his tears and walked over with a very happy smile on his still slightly red eyes: "Your Majesty, Doctor Wen said that you just got frightened, your body is fine."

  Then looking at Ding Yuan without a reaction, Ji Piao tentatively said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember my official position? How many cities does Che Long Guo have?"

  Ding Yuan's face changed, "Unbelievable! Have they discovered my weakness so quickly and started to probe me?"

  Ding Yuan thought, "If they find out that they are not the kings of this Chezhou Kingdom, but just impostors, will they capture me and have me sliced into a thousand pieces or tortured to death?"

  Fortunately, familiar with the web, and even more so a veteran of the starting point, Ding Yuan would never admit to being an imposter until the very last moment.

  "But I don't know all these things, what should I do?!" Ding Yuan thought anxiously.

  Looking at Ding Yuan's bewildered expression, Ji Ling hesitantly smiled and said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, it's fine if you forget!"

  "Huh? What's going on? They don't seem to suspect anything at all, and General Ji Liao looks like he's deeply ashamed!"

  General Juliao's heart was filled with sorrow and bitterness at this moment, and he muttered to himself: "Your Majesty seems to have really lost his memory, what can be done? The Caradine Empire has been passed down for generations, the previous emperor was 40 years old when he finally gave birth to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's innate vitality was severely damaged from the beginning, and his memory is not good... Previous Emperor, I am sorry to you!"

  Ding Yuan vaguely heard the words of General Ju Liao, with some key phrases such as "amnesia!" His heart suddenly thumped wildly: "No way, could they think I'm suffering from amnesia? This luck is too good to be true! Amnesia is the strongest tool for a protagonist who has traveled through time and space. It seems that I am a protagonist with excellent personal qualities!"

  With a sense of satisfaction in his heart, Ding Yuan's face broke into a smile. However, perhaps due to the weakness of this body's owner, he soon felt drowsy and his head became dizzy.

  Looking at Ding Yuan's continuous yawning, Ju Liao tidied up his mood and stood up to salute: "Your Majesty, you should rest early, I still have some things to deal with!"

  Watching Ju Liao walk out, Ding Yuan thought to himself, "I was playing the Three Kingdoms game before I crossed over. Who would have thought that my luck was so bad back then? I could even get electrocuted from drinking water! It was so depressing that I crossed over. But it seems like it's not too bad after all. I'm single and carefree, and I don't have any worries now that I've crossed over. And I'm even the ruler of a country! Although this Che Long Country doesn't seem to be a big deal, at least there are beauties and mountains and rivers here!"

  Without any more worries, Ding Yuan thought randomly for a while before he couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep leaning against the pillow.
