Reborn as a Treacherous Minister, the Tyrant and I Will Be Remembered for Ages

[No romance + The tyrant is not the love interest + Political intrigue + Household battles + Absurd comedy + Ensemble cast + A slightly unhinged story + Witty]

Xu Yue was reborn, with her memories of her previous life stopping at the moment before she was discovered working as an official in disguise as a man to inherit the family business, and beheaded.

With a thud, she lost consciousness.

At the end of her life, all she could think was: a good voice makes for a good head.

Luckily, she was reborn.

In her last life, she'd been a pushover and still ended up losing her head. This time, she might as well use every means at her disposal to climb to the top.

She wanted to find out what it felt like to hold great power and stand alone at the summit.

While her second uncle was scheming to seize her family fortune and sell his niece off, she had already joined the Minister of Revenue's side.

While her grandmother was still planning to sacrifice her to secure her second uncle a higher post, she had already won the emperor's favor and become the infamous expert at confiscating estates.

When wealthy merchants sent gold, silver, and jewels, she took it all.

When petty officials flattered her and offered up their fortunes in hopes of securing a post, she gladly accepted every last thing.

She wanted beauties, money, status, and power. She wanted it all.

Memorials impeaching her arrived one after another, but no one expected the emperor to believe only her slanderous reports.

In the end, everyone realized that the treacherous official despised by the powerful aristocratic clans was the very person beloved by the common people.

The little emperor, often called a tyrant, would wonder: If he had never met Xu Yue, would he have ordered fewer heads chopped off?

But when he looked down from the Star-Viewing Tower and saw the people living in peace and contentment,

the little emperor decided that those heads had been worth it!
