Transmigrated into a Romance Novel as a Tyrant, I Split the Chancellor in Two from the Start

Chu Yuan is transported into a melodramatic romance novel, where he becomes a puppet emperor who's about to be poisoned and cuckolded.

The entire court is full of the heroine's worshippers. The chancellor is her father, the regent is the fated male lead, and even the empress dowager, who rules from behind the curtain, is plotting against him!

In the original story, he's reviled by everyone, branded a “licentious tyrant,” and dies miserably.

Chu Yuan laughs. “If they're all calling me a tyrant, I'd be a fool not to wipe out a few entire clans!”

At the coronation, the chancellor brings a deer to court and calls it a horse, hoping to intimidate the new emperor.

The heroine sneers, the empress dowager watches for entertainment, and the ministers all go along with it.

Chu Yuan doesn't waste words. He draws the Son of Heaven's sword and cleaves the chancellor in two, splattering blood across the throne hall!

“If you can't tell a deer from a horse, what use is your clan? Issue the decree: execute the chancellor's entire clan by slow slicing, immediately!”

The executioner's blade falls and heads roll. The whole court of love-struck fools is thrown into chaos!

The heroine drops to her knees, weeping; the fated male lead flees in terror in the middle of the night.

The empress dowager, who once stood above everyone, trembles. That night, she sheds her phoenix robe and begs for mercy with reddened eyes. “Your Majesty, from now on, I'll do whatever you say...”

The aloof consort falls completely for him and turns into a lovesick yandere. “Anyone who defies Your Majesty, I'll poison them!”

Chu Yuan: “A romance-novel world? In the face of my iron-fisted tyranny, you're all utterly powerless!”
