I, Dong Tianbao, Got You Into Government, Yet You Killed Me for Her

So what if I rule the realm? I, Dong Tianbao, won an illustrious title in the cutthroat world of officialdom, but lost the only light in my heart!

Once, I was a poor boy stealing steamed buns from a ruined temple. I swore I’d give the woman I loved a peaceful life. But honor among the martial world couldn’t put food on the table, and there was no clear road to success for someone born at the bottom. So I wagered my conscience and climbed over corpses, rising from a lowly foot soldier to become the all-powerful chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

Clad in the Flying Fish Robe, with power in my grasp, I climbed the bloody path to the top. Every step burned with intensity, and every step cut to the bone. Lin Qinghe, my childhood sweetheart, was the light in my darkness and the last of my humanity. But the struggle for power shows no mercy. I could protect the people of the realm, yet I could not protect the one dearest to my heart.

When the red wedding candles became white mourning banners, and her gentle voice fell silent forever, Dong Tianbao, feared by all, went mad! He bathed the capital in blood and tore his enemies apart. Even if I had to bear the infamy of the ages, I would join her in death!

My senior brother Zhang Junbao severed his worldly ties and attained the Dao, grasping the secrets of Taiji in a single moment. The young Dong Ergou lost his life on the battlefield of power, and spent the rest of his days buried in grief.

One side delivers a thrilling rise to power: one step to a noble title, authority over the court.

The other brings a heart-wrenching love that defies life and death: a bond etched in the soul, divided by the worlds of the living and the dead.

No saintly heroine, no frustrating setbacks. The comeback burns bright, and the tragic romance cuts deep!

On the day I was ennobled, her song fell silent; the Taiji sword severed the pain of old love.

The history books record only the crimes of a corrupt minister. No one knows I went mad with love!

In this game, he won the realm but lost her, leaving behind a regret for the ages!
