A Guide to Raising a Tyrant

Also known as A Rebellious Heart

In his previous life, Pei Shen enjoyed the emperor's favor for ten years without ever falling out of it, rising to the rank of marquis and grand chancellor.

In the tenth year, he died without a whole corpse, and the emperor personally got involved.

Powerful ministers have never met a good end, right? Understandable, understandable...

Understandable my ass!!!

He was reborn, back ten years in the past, to the day he first met that lunatic.

On the very first day they met, the bastard emperor threw him into the death cell.

Now the bastard emperor stands before him, smiling with boundless affection. "Wei Lang, I think I've fallen for you."

Pei Shen: "..."

What kind of feelings, exactly? That's a tough one to guess.

In the death cell, Pei Shen considers two things.

First, how to pay him back.

Second, what fate awaits the bastard emperor.

Ji Zhuting has few family ties and has suffered through half his life. He wants for nothing, and his only pleasure is destroying the world.

Unfortunately, someone barges in and throws a wrench in the works: that hostage prince.

First he sees how interesting the man is, then how clever, then his features, his joys and sorrows.

And step by step, he falls.

At last, he is willing to remain confined to the small world of the imperial palace, sheath his fangs, and become the wise ruler destined to reign for generations.

He is a genuine lunatic.

Pei Shen is the chain that holds him.

If that man dies one day, he will never go on living alone.

Because the world will have died with him.

P.S.

1. The gong is genuinely awful at first. He treats tormenting people like walking a dog.

2. Both leads are strong. They scheme against each other at first, and if neither kills the other, that's true love.

3. A little ensemble cast.

4. Entirely fictional setting, borrowing the official system of the Wei and Jin periods.

5. The story unfolds in three parts: the imperial court, the martial world, and unification. Political intrigue runs through the entire main plot.

Theme: After a long division, the realm will unite; the people come before the state.
