The Tyrant's Bone-Breaking Minister

Two male leads + equally matched + both pure + coercive romance + regret and redemption

Obsessive, ruthless emperor gong × aloof, proud general shou. Court intrigue and possessive love, from tormenting each other to standing together through life and death.

Xiao Duo, the new emperor of Great Chu, seized the throne atop a mountain of corpses. Everyone called him a cold-blooded tyrant.

But no one knew that the madness of his entire life was driven by one desire: to keep that frost-cold man imprisoned at his side.

Shen Yanzhi, Great Chu’s youngest God of War, was born with an unbending spirit.

He thought Xiao Duo stripped him of his military power and humiliated him in court out of an emperor’s suspicion and fear.

For the sake of all the people, he endured it step by step, bearing Xiao Duo’s domineering, suffocating control.

Then, one day, Shen Yanzhi was framed by a treacherous villain, poisoned, and thrown into a bottomless abyss.

That lofty tyrant turned white-haired overnight, coughed up a mouthful of blood from his heart, and frantically dug at the foot of the cliff with his bare hands for three days and three nights.

“Shen Yanzhi, I’ll give you my empire, I’ll give you my life. Please, come back…”

He thought it was nothing but an emperor’s political game. He never imagined the other man had already carved himself into his very bones and blood.
