After Faking My Death, the Tyrant Went Mad Guarding My Remains

Su Ci transmigrates into the notorious, universally despised treacherous chancellor of the Great Liang Kingdom, a woman disguised as a man.

The System binds her to the role of a “vicious villain”: “Host must torment the tyrant Xiao Lin and accumulate Tyranny Points to shield him from his fatal tribulation.”

So she forces the emperor to his knees and sneers, “Your Majesty is such a useless fool. How could you possibly deserve to rule this empire?”

On a snowy night, she makes the emperor kneel for hours at the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Once she turns away, she coughs up a mouthful of blood, staining the snow at her feet.

Everyone calls her a traitor, and Su Ci believes Xiao Lin must hate her to the core, wishing he could tear her limb from limb.

Little does she know...

Three years ago, Xiao Lin awakened a “hearing System.”

During the flogging that day, he heard none of her insults. All he heard was the System’s announcements and the desperate sobs in her mind:

[System, transfer 100% of his pain to me... He can’t take it.]

[As long as I can draw out his cold poison, what does it matter if I become the greatest sinner of all time?]

From that moment on, Xiao Lin became both a madman and a master actor.

He watched her pave his way forward while coughing up blood, his heart aching like it was being cut apart, yet he could only play his part in this performance of “emperor and chancellor turning against each other.”

Until one day, the System issued its final mission: “Die by the tyrant’s sword to help him sever his worldly attachments and attain godhood.”

Atop the city wall, dressed in red, Su Ci smiled resolutely as she threw herself onto Xiao Lin’s trembling sword point.

“Xiao Lin, I protected both you and this empire.”

The System’s icy announcement rang through Xiao Lin’s mind: “Host’s life force has reached zero. Mission complete. Affection: Maximum.”

That night, the new emperor held the chancellor’s gradually cooling body. His hair turned white overnight, and he drenched the imperial city in blood.

“Su Ci, how dare you leave me... I’ll make every god and Buddha beneath the heavens join you in death!”
