Your Majesty, I Must Die Protesting!

College student Xi He stayed up all night during finals week reading a novel with a terrible ending. The very next moment, he died suddenly and transmigrated into the body of a cannon-fodder character with the same name.

The novel's protagonist, Xie Changling, is an unfavored prince who was sent to an enemy kingdom as a hostage when he was very young.

He endured every kind of hardship.

After years of bearing humiliation and biding his time, he murdered his father and brothers on his way to the throne, becoming a true tyrant.

The tyrant never cared about governing. Whether he attended court depended entirely on his mood, and he would order people killed at the drop of a hat, leaving everyone in court on edge.

A few years later, the enemy kingdom annexed his country, making him its last ruler.

Xi He's job is to change the course of the nation's downfall.

"...Isn't that asking a bit much of me?"

Fortunately, the System gave him a golden finger that let him share sensations with the tyrant.

In short, when the tyrant feels pain, Xi He feels it too. If Xi He dies, the tyrant dies with him.

And so Xi He embarked on a path of remonstrating unto death, treating life and death as trivial matters.

When the tyrant wanted to exile a minister known for his integrity, Xi He said, "Your Majesty, I will remonstrate unto death!"

When the tyrant wanted to use the national treasury to build his own mausoleum, Xi He said, "Your Majesty, I will remonstrate unto death!!"

In a fit of rage, Xie Changling grabbed his sword and tried to kill Xi He.

Xi He ran circles around a pillar, shouting, "Your Majesty, please think twice!!!"

The ministers present couldn't help holding their breath for Xi He, stunned by his audacity.

Just when everyone thought Xi He was about to lose his life,

three days later, Xi He showed up at court again, completely unharmed.

Three months later, Xi He was visiting the palace more and more often, becoming one of the emperor's closest attendants.

Much later, Xie Changling skipped court for several days in a row because he was too busy indulging in pleasure.

Xi He reached out from beneath the covers, his voice hoarse. "Your Majesty, I will remon... mmph..."

But Xie Changling silenced him.

A minister who spends all day threatening to remonstrate unto death but is actually terrified of dying, the shou × a tyrant gong who can't be bothered to live but keeps going anyway
