The Tyrant Empress Takes Me as Her Concubine, Then Kills My Wife!

All I want is to paint and write poetry, to be a quiet, cultured, handsome man, and find a girl to love, no matter what she looks like, so we can spend our lives together. That's not too much to ask, is it?

Zhang Jun transmigrated to the Great Tang, a nation where martial strength ruled. Gentle and refined, he had no desire to fight, so he married a country girl and she became pregnant.

But the Great Tang's Empress ruled the realm with an iron fist, living a life of luxury and lust. She ordered a nationwide search for handsome men to fill her imperial harem, and Zhang Jun, a man of exceptional literary talent and looks, was chosen.

Zhang Jun refused, so the soldiers killed his wife and child, shattering his dream of a quiet, ordinary life!

The System gave him a choice, and he decisively abandoned literature for martial arts, gaining the supreme manual: the Art of Energy Absorption!

To avenge his wife and child, he entered the palace, bided his time, and secretly absorbed the martial arts of countless experts, transforming from a literary genius into the ruthless Demon Martial Emperor!

One day, the Empress opened her eyes after waking up, only to find a large hand gripping her throat!

“Your Majesty forced me into the palace and killed my wife and child. Now it's your turn to die!”
