Reborn as the Chongzhen Emperor: Who Dares Touch My Empress!

After hanging himself at Coal Hill, the Chongzhen Emperor is reborn on the very first day of his reign!

Looking at the lively, beautiful Empress Zhou before him, he remembers the pain of having ordered her death with his own hands in his previous life. Zhu Youjian's eyes redden.

In this life, to hell with the empire, to hell with the ministers' protests. All I want is to keep her safe for the rest of her life!

A treacherous servant dares to cut the Empress's allowance? Beat him to death, and punish his entire clan!

The eunuch faction dares to plot against the Empress? The Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard can stand aside. My Qianqing Guard will show you what it means to vanish without a trace!

I will lift the ban on maritime trade, train a new army, crush the rebels, destroy the Jianzhou Jurchens, and restore a glorious age of prosperity. Not to earn a place in the history books, but to win her smile and give her a peaceful realm.

The court officials all call me a tyrant and a fool. I sneer: I am simply a man utterly devoted to his wife. Whoever lays a hand on my Empress, I will wipe out ten generations of his family!

But when the Empress tugs gently at his sleeve and asks softly, "Your Majesty, have you... come back too?"

This redemption, spanning life and death, is only just beginning...
