Well, who cares..

For the remaining hours of the day, Zichen just lazed around or talked to Yanli. He still hadn't come up with a plan or anything. To be honest he did not known exactly what happened in the Novel, he had after all read it a long time ago. What he did know was that the original Zichen had died due to being poisoned by the empress.

The Empress was probably the only threat that Zichen had to worry about, if he remmeberd correctly, the empress was always plotting for ways to kill the consorts. He sighed, this won't do. He asked his maid to fetch him some paper, and a pen. After receiving the material required, he dismissed the maid and told her to instruct the other severants that they were not to disturb him. Through the maid politely bowed her eyes showed clearly what she was thinking *this fool, he's finally gone crazy*, she left the room, closing the door.

Zichen got to work, first he started writing the order of the story. First thing that happened in the novel was the Emperor marrying Xiao, the protagonist of this novel, Xiao was a small and delicate omega, the son of a scholar, he had been forced to marry the tyrannical Emperor. Second thing that happened was the original Zichen miscarriying and dying, then Xiao was blamed for it, even though in truth the Empress was the culprit, and so began the start of Xiao's cruel days at the royal palace, not only was he mistreated by the consorts and concubines, even the servents did not show him much respect and only did what they were told out of obligation. But in the end the emperor somehow falls in love with Xiao and divorces all the other wives.

Zichen sighed what a messy plot, the author was probably a bl obsessed teenager, anyway, that wasn't the major problem right now, Haoran hadn't married Xiao and Zichen wasn't dead, the only canon thing that had happened till now was Zichen getting poisoned and miscarrying, everything was completely off script. And it was now upto Zichen to figure out what went wrong, maybe things went out of script cause he, someone who did not belong to his world had crossed over?. Whatever he reason was, he had to figure it out, maybe if things got back on track he could go back to his world

He took another piece of paper, and started writing again. There were 2 main characters, 3 supporting characters, 1 main villain, several smaller villians and many many extras almost as if the author had wrote about so many characters, they has forgotten they existed and then just not build up their storyline.

Obviously the Emperor Lan Haoran (he wrote dog after Haoran's name) and The Scholar's son Xiao were the main characters, Zhao Xiang was one of the supporting characters, Zichen drew a smile on top of his name, he was one the people he could trust, the other two supporting characters were the Imperial doctor and another guy who Zichen did not remmeber. In the extras was ofcouse Yanli, another person he could trust. The came the main villian, the Empress, Chen Xueruo, she was a person who played background politics, she was also the murderer of several consorts and concubines, "beware" he wrote under her name, she wasn't someone he wanted to mess with, the only way to stay out of her way was to be as far away from that emperor dog as possible, which was something Zichen was ready to do willingly.

Other than the empress, there were other minor threats such as Lan Haoran's mother and other consorts and concubines. In the novel Lan Haoran had five consorts in total, Chen Xueruo the Empress or the first consort, Zhang Miao, she was the daughter of the prime minister and also the second consort, Wang Zichen as far as Zichen cpd remember the Zichen in the novel was the son of Lan Haoran's Father's sworn brother³, Liu Shishi, he didn't recall much about him, except that he was the fourth consort and Xiao, it seemed as if the author of the original work hadn't given him a family name he was just Xiao. As for the concubines, well let's just say there were too many of them for Zichen to remember.

"How bothersome" he sighed

³ Sworn brothers or more accurately, oath brother, is someone that one has pledged their life to; that you consider part of your family. It is entirely non-romantic, and doesn't necessarily even mean you they're fond of the other person, but for whatever reason, you belong to them, and vice versa. To be clear, this is because the Chinese emphasize paternal and fraternal familiarity above basically all else, including the self.
