[Reborn + revenge + younger love interest + growing together + mutual healing + cold-faced, loyal, regretful pursuer × revenge-driven beauty of an emperor who is pursued]
First life: Wei Tan is the youngest prince of Wei. Because of his unusual body, everyone can bully him.
Only when the enemy lays siege to the capital and Wei is on the brink of destruction does the person he loves deceive him into ascending the throne. He becomes a puppet emperor with only a week left to live.
His father, the emperor, and his elder brothers abandon the city and flee, leaving him alone to face the advancing enemy troops.
Unable to fight back, Wei Tan is captured by the enemy and, to appease their rage, taken to the execution platform as a condemned criminal.
At the very end of his life, Wei Tan finally sees the enemy commander rumored to have a face like a Rakshasa.
A familiar figure comes into view. Remembering the days they relied on each other as children, Wei Tan gives a bitter laugh. The man is Helian Ye, the enemy prince he once spared and deliberately let escape.
Wei Tan thought he had finally seen a glimmer of hope, but instead he was plunged straight into hell.
Helian Ye doesn’t even spare him a glance before ordering, “Execute him at once!”
…
Reborn, Wei Tan is still the down-and-out prince everyone can kick around.
Having learned from past mistakes, he decides it’s better to take his fate firmly into his own hands than to repeat the same path.
Wei Tan will rewrite history, stop Wei’s tragic destruction, and become the rightful new emperor!
As for Helian Ye, his greatest threat?
Better to keep a threat close. He’ll feed himself to the tiger and bargain with it. Wei Tan decides to use his charms to “seduce” Helian Ye and make his former enemy work for him.
Helian Ye: “Wife, you smell so good!”
Wei Tan: “Get lost. Just seeing you makes my neck hurt!”
