Sickly beauty top × ruthless emperor bottom (Xiao Wangshu × Xie Yungui)
Xiao Wangshu died on the day Xie Yungui ascended the throne.
He had once been the regent who held power over the court, and the sharpest stepping stone Xie Yungui used to climb onto the dragon throne.
He thought sincere love could be repaid with sincere love. It was only when Xie Yungui personally drove him into a dead end that he understood he was nothing but a pawn to be discarded once used.
Xie Yungui finally claimed the whole realm, but the moment that man breathed his last, he went completely mad.
He dismissed the court, issued a bounty across the land, and spared no expense in searching for a way to bring the dead back to life.
Everyone said the new emperor had gone mad. Only he knew he had personally driven the one light in his life to his death.
Reborn, Xiao Wangshu wants only to watch coldly as this faithless man reaps what he has sown.
But he never imagined that the cold and ruthless emperor would cast aside every shred of dignity and kneel by his grave until his hair turned white overnight.
“Wangshu,” Xie Yungui’s voice rasped as if he were weeping. “If you’ll only come back, I’ll give you this entire realm as compensation.”
