In the twentieth year of the Jinghe era of the Great Sheng Dynasty, Regent Xie Jinghan finally died.
A three-reign grandee with power over all under Heaven, he kept a child emperor on the throne, slaughtered the imperial clan, and was ultimately sentenced to death by a thousand cuts beneath the palace steps, his blood splattering three feet high.
Emperor Xiao Chengyi climbed over his corpse to ascend the throne, then kicked his cold face aside, hatred unfathomable in his eyes.
On the night Xie Jinghan died, Xiao Chengyi had a very long dream.
When he awoke, he opened his eyes once more...
Only to find himself back at eighteen, just as the regent had begun assisting with state affairs.
In his past life, that treacherous minister had toyed with him like a puppet. This time, he would nip the calamity in the bud!
When Xie Jinghan transmigrated from the twenty-first century, he found himself facing a handsome young emperor, fair as jade and snow, pointing a sword at him.
The little emperor waved a sword longer than he was tall, looking fierce but adorable, tears in his eyes as he gritted his teeth. "Traitor! Prepare to die!"
Newly transmigrated Xie Jinghan: ???
As the little sword was about to poke him, inspiration struck Xie Jinghan. He dropped to his knees with a thump, and tears streamed down his face.
"Your Majesty! I have been wronged! My loyalty is pure, and Heaven and Earth can bear witness! If Your Majesty must kill me, then so be it. I only ask that after I'm dead, Your Majesty remember to send my poor old mother some compensation, sob sob sob~~~"
The assembled ministers: "..."
Emperor Xiao Chengyi's sword hand trembled. "?"
This didn't seem much like the ruthless regent from his dream, the one whose smile could make a three-year-old cry.
