I Longed for Death, but Became the Empress’s Beloved

Chu Wang transmigrates into the body of a useless hostage prince in an enemy kingdom. It's a nightmare from the start.

Fortunately, he awakens a System: if a powerful figure of the age kills him for a justifiable reason, he can return to the modern world with invincible cultivation and become a tycoon!

Desperate to get home, Chu Wang embarks on a relentless campaign of courting death.

At court, he points at the tyrannical Empress Shen Jiuyou and curses her to her face: “Tyrant! If you've got the nerve, have me executed today!”

The officials tremble in fear, expecting him to be executed along with his entire family.

But the bloodthirsty Empress's eyes turn red with tears as she wildly imagines: “Everyone in the realm fears me, but he's the only one who dares to speak his mind. He'd even give his life for me! He loves me so much!”

When the aristocratic clans rebel, Chu Wang charges into battle alone, laughing wildly: “Please, just kill me already!”

The rebels panic: “This man is utterly arrogant and fears no death. He must have an ambush waiting! Retreat!”

A few years later...

Chu Wang, who has been trying to get himself killed, looks at the imperial robe on his body and the bashful Empress nestled in his arms, and completely breaks down.

“I never wanted to unite the realm, much less live off my wife! Please, someone kill me!”

The entire court cries out: “Your Majesty truly is the greatest prodigy of all time!”
