I Became a Lowly Prison Guard, and Now I Can Handle the Mad Tyrant with P

I’m a top modern criminal psychologist who unexpectedly transmigrates into a historical political intrigue novel, becoming a lowly prison guard in the imperial prison, destined to be cannon fodder. My job is to watch over Xiao Ce, the mad, disgraced crown prince who will one day bathe the imperial city in blood and ascend the throne.

In the original story, I accidentally offend him and become the first person he tortures to death after escaping prison. To stay alive, I decide to turn the tables. Using my professional skills, microexpression analysis, psychological profiling, and behavioral conditioning, I embark on a high-stakes gamble.

While everyone else avoids the disgraced crown prince, I deliberately draw close to him, study him, and even “tame” him. I see through his feigned madness and the obsession and loneliness inside him. I tend his wounds, pass him news from the outside world, and gradually become the only light in his dark prison. Using modern psychology, I “PUA” him until he develops an extreme dependence on me and a possessive need to keep me close.

Together, we devise a spectacular prison break. After escaping, I become his sole strategist, helping him rise from a crown prince with nothing to his name, eliminate his rivals one by one, and carve out a bloody path through the treacherous succession struggle. I help him exact his revenge and plan his every move, pushing him to the pinnacle of power. And he, once a savage lone wolf, becomes a loyal dog who listens only to me. The realm and the man himself are both in the palm of my hand.
