[The Empress Pursues Him] [Extreme Suicidal Antics] [Everyone's Wild Misunderstandings]
"Your Majesty, I find your husband-repelling figure too flat. I beg you to execute my entire family!"
On their wedding night, Chu Fei is bound to the imperial bed with red silk, cursing at the beautiful, short-tempered empress.
The [Reverse Spendthrift System] he's bound to is outrageously cruel: if he squanders his fortune, ruins his reputation, gets divorced, and has his family property confiscated, he'll immediately ascend to sainthood in broad daylight.
But if he earns merit or makes money, his lifespan gets deducted!
Desperate to die, he causes trouble in the Golden Hall, angrily hurling street slang at a foreign delegation. He means to disgrace himself, but ends up forcing the enemy nation to cede territory and sue for peace!
The empress immediately lets her imagination run wild: "Chu is acting outrageous and arrogant to hide his true abilities and shield me from attacks in the open and in the shadows! He loves me!"
Chu Fei breaks down, turns around, sells off all his assets, and rents out an entire street of brothels to build a luxurious club. He showers the place with rosewater, determined to lose his fortune.
Instead, the city's powerful and wealthy rush to spend lavishly. In three days, he rakes in three hundred thousand taels, directly filling the empty national treasury!
Chu Fei goes mad. He takes an eighty-jin iron mace and beats government officials in the street, then makes powerful homemade explosives to try to kill the empress and all her officials.
"Boom!" A cliff collapses, and the evil cult's assassins, who had secretly dug a tunnel to try to kill the emperor, are wiped out in one fell swoop!
The officials weep and bow: "The emperor and his chancellor are truly Wolong reborn! He used a ruse of self-sacrifice to save Your Majesty!"
Tears glistening in her phoenix eyes, the empress, with a big belly, presses the imperial seal into his arms: "Husband, the realm and I are yours!"
Looking at the overflowing treasury, Chu Fei collapses to the ground: "What a disaster! All I wanted at first was to be a useless wastrel who got divorced!"
