The Regent's Authority at Home Is on the Wane

[The beloved I was willing to give my life for in my past life is reborn and insists on having my baby. He's also my eldest nephew and my younger brother.]

Yue Zhantang, the regent who gave his life and blood for the young emperor of the dynasty in his past life, only to be set up and dragged to the marketplace to be beheaded, is reborn.

This time, he plans to play by different rules.

This time, he'll be a powerful minister, a treacherous minister, and the most powerful king of them all. If the court officials don't obey, confiscate their estates. If the emperor doesn't obey, give him a slap. If the empress dowager doesn't obey, hit her with the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms!

While tormenting the wicked, he'll also find the poor little Xie Yanlou, who gathered his remains and built him a tombstone in his past life, and spoil him properly.

Except his poor little darling doesn't seem very obedient.

His beloved turns out to be a poisonous little flower, killing, setting fires, digging up people's graves, and committing every kind of evil.

Just as Yue Zhantang is struggling to accept and adapt to this, his archenemy, the villain, refuses to let it go!

Yue Zhantang: Wait, my head's spinning! You say you're my eldest nephew?

Empress Dowager: No, he's actually your younger brother. You two can't be together!
