Nine Layers of Purple: The Supreme Poison Strategist Dou Zhao Calls Him the Living King of Hell

Lin He transmigrates to the bitter winter of the twenty-seventh year of Chengping.

When he wakes, he discovers that he has somehow ended up in the drama The Ninefold Violet.

He has become the pampered only grandson of the venerable Duke of Zhenguo, a pillar of the court.

From the start, his grandmother forces him to fall from a high wall, awakening the "Strongest Schemer" System.

By chance, he witnesses Dou Zhao being betrayed by her husband and her younger sister.

Since she is a woman who once slept beside him in a coffin, helping her out with a wicked scheme can't hurt.

At the scene of the adulterous rendezvous, he throws open the gates of the Marquis of Jining's residence and invites the townspeople in to watch the spectacle for free!

When a treacherous prince hunts him down, he offers a poisonous scheme: sprinkle itching powder into the enemy's clothes!

Disguised as a military doctor, he treats patients' wounds with golden sore medicine mixed with manure!

He bribes civil and military officials alike, wrapping stones in gold!

After the people of Dongying repeatedly raid our coasts, Lin He proposes sending out men doomed to die from plague, pretending to surrender and then wreaking havoc across the entire island...

Before long, everyone knows that the Duke of Zhenguo's household has a schemer, a living King of Hell.

Children burst into tears at the mere mention of Lin He's name!

But as Lin He devotes himself to mastering the art of scheming, he notices that Dou Zhao, Miao Ansu, Dou Ming, and the other women are looking at him more and more strangely...
