   🌈Everyone around him is a paranoid control freak + strict discipline + extremely strict family rules! ✨The male lead, a complete scumbag who does all sorts of bad things, is resurrected by a system after death and becomes the youngest legitimate son of the Duke of Zhenguo's family in a fictional ancient world. To reform Su Yanci, the system installs a halo around him that says he "needs strict discipline." This halo makes everyone believe that Su Yanci is an unparalleled genius, but inherently unruly and dissolute, requiring strict discipline and restraint to succeed; otherwise, he will harm himself, others, and his family. More importantly, everyone around the male lead is a paranoid control freak. If he disobeys them, he's doomed—he'll be beaten! A truly disciplined, protagonist-torture story!

   Reader note

   The war god father served on the frontier for fifteen years, and the first thing he did upon returning home was to beat his son. Rulers, canes, and white waxwood sticks were used in turn; kneeling, confinement, and eating bitter melon were just some of the punishments. Fang Junheng had no special abilities, no hidden identities, only a sharp tongue and a pair of fast legs. His father was truly strict, and he was truly cowardly. But the strict father wasn't abusive; he was afraid his son wouldn't be able to handle things in the future. If you enjoy stories of strict family discipline, fathers who are taciturn and ruthless, and sons who have to apply medicine themselves after being beaten, this book is worth reading. Don't be too funny at the beginning; the later chapters are heartwarming as the beatings continue.

    Reader note

    The bond between master and apprentice, a mixture of strictness and tenderness, is exemplified by Shen Zhiwei, the Grand Tutor. Her discipline of Chu Mingzhao is almost harsh—a single mispronounced word in recitation is met with a ruler, improper manners are punished with kneeling in self-reflection, and sneaking out of the palace is met with severe reprimands. Yet, beneath this strictness lies a profound sense of responsibility and protectiveness. She would stay up all night caring for Chu Mingzhao when she had a persistent high fever, personally feeding her medicine; she would gently apply medicine after punishment, her fingertips incredibly gentle; and she would even softly respond with "I'm here" when Chu Mingzhao murmured in her delirium. This "slap and sweet" dynamic is both heartbreaking and touching, perfectly embodying the saying "the deeper the love, the harsher the discipline." 🏰 A Transformation Amidst Palace Intrigue: From the wild, crying girl who entered the palace at six, wanting to go home, to the later dignified and meticulous princess, Chu Mingzhao's growth trajectory is deeply moving. Every beating, every admonition, sculpted her into a form more suited to survive in the deep palace. Behind Shen Zhiwei's seemingly cold teachings lay the power to protect her in this cannibalistic court. When Chu Mingzhao finally stood alone in court, looking back, she realized that the pain in her palms and behind her was the path to survival paved for her by the Grand Tutor. 🍬 The author's portrayal of everyday interactions is incredibly moving— - Chu Mingzhao secretly braided a rough peace knot, which Shen Zhiwei always wore on her wrist; - The little princess refused to drink her medicine because it was bitter, but the cold-faced Grand Tutor pulled out candied fruit from his sleeve; - When Chu Mingzhao was delirious with fever, she clutched Shen Zhiwei's sleeve and murmured, "Don't leave me," while the Grand Tutor silently tightened his grip on her hand... These delicate descriptions bring the characters to life, allowing readers to clearly feel that beneath the ruler lies a bond deeper than blood ties.
