We Are Each Other’s Evil

Chen Pingzhong (top) x Ning Qi (bottom)

Chen Pingzhong transmigrated into a frustrating political intrigue novel, becoming the saintly male lead who was framed by the major villain, Ning Qi, and stripped of his official post, and who could only say, “The innocent have nothing to fear.”

When he opened his eyes again, Ning Qi's absurdly handsome face was right in front of him, spouting cutting remarks.

Chen Pingzhong smiled.

To hell with “the innocent have nothing to fear.”

He dragged Ning Qi straight into the rundown house that remained after Ning Qi had framed him and had his home searched and confiscated, then pinned him against the wall. “Starting today, you're going to be my wife. We'll call all that your dowry.”

Regent Ning Qi held power over the entire court and was ruthless. He never imagined he would fall into the hands of a pedantic scholar!

Imprisoned in the countryside, forced to wash up and cook, and even... to serve him in bed every night.

He gritted his teeth and endured, waiting for a chance to escape...

A short, no-brain story with lots of implausible bits.

Premise: Don't be so aggressive.
