Name: The Deer and the Cauldron: Murdered on My Wedding Night, I Reincarnate as Wei Xiaobao
Author: Such a Peerless Beauty

Synopsis

This story is a slow burn, so enter at your own risk...

A blended version, not based on just one adaptation.

People who toil under the sun with their backs to the loess and their faces to the sky, going hungry every day, know nothing of history or culture. At first, ignorant and uneducated, he ingratiates himself with Kangxi. Later, after learning about history and what the Manchus did to the Han people, he starts taking on the Bannermen who oppress the common folk. In the end, he falls out with Kangxi and his brothers...

What?

You say Jianning looks like Sharla Cheung?

Zeng Rou looks like Yeh Chuan-chen?

A Ke looks like Michelle Reis?

Jianning helps Wei Xiaobao castrate his love rival Liu Yizhou,

And Wei Xiaobao castrates another rival, Zheng Keshuang.

Betrayed on his wedding night, he takes revenge in a fit of rage.

After dying, he transmigrates into the world of The Deer and the Cauldron, taking the place of the young male lead, Wei Xiaobao. He encounters a reclusive master, obtains the Nine Yin Manual, and trains in peerless martial arts.

He becomes sworn brothers with the current emperor, Kangxi, kills Oboi, quells the Three Feudatories, and slays the rebel Wu Sangui.

I'm going to be the coolest guy in the Qing Empire!
