The Dream Guy of the Year Takes on the Whole World!

A deranged, dream-obsessed emperor who won't stop going off the rails and driving people crazy

A scheming regent who keeps turning dark, then innocent, then dark again, but whose husband keeps making everything dirty

Mad dog x stubborn mule

Jiang Luyin's perspective:

As an ambitious regent, he spent ten years planning meticulously, only to see it all fall apart in a single day.

Yet as the minister entrusted with the young emperor on his deathbed by the late emperor, his dignity, honor, integrity... even his life, all of these were chips he could stake.

The young emperor was still a child, while the young minister was stricken with a deadly poison and had only thirteen years left to live.

A loyal minister dies for his sovereign. He had spent ten years plotting, making himself a stepping stone to pave a steady, broad road to the heavens for the young emperor.

Defeated in battle, he had the young emperor's sword at his throat.

"I lost. You... Your Majesty, kill me!"

Pinned to the ground, he struggled to suppress the excitement and relief on his face. His eyes shone with a frightening intensity.

He stared fixedly at the emperor before him, smiling as he bared his neck for the killing blow.

But then, with a clang, the sword fell to the ground.

The emperor gave a strange smile. "The regent must be joking. You're in poor health. Get up and sit in a chair. The ground is too cold."

Showing mercy to one's enemies was a great taboo for an emperor. Alarm bells rang in his heart, so he deliberately provoked the emperor before him.

"Heh... The imperial bed is warm, though. If Your Majesty really cares for me, why not let me sit on it?"

But the emperor's smile only grew more twisted. "Of course. Since the regent insists... I couldn't be happier."

Duan Chengyu's perspective:

The CEO started from nothing, clawing his way up from the bottom.

Almost everyone thought he was cold and heartless, with no particular likes and an inscrutable nature. Nobody could see through him.

...Almost everyone, that is.

Because he had a white moonlight.

And he didn't even bother to hide it.

He was a fan of an old-school wuxia political intrigue novel, and an obsessive fan of the villain, no less.

In the book, the villainous regent was handsome and had an excellent reputation. He fooled the protagonist's whole group, and no one could see that he was the villain.

But later on, the protagonist's group discovered that the regent had placed the young emperor under house arrest!

He wanted to seize the throne and overthrow the dynasty!

After countless struggles, the protagonist's group finally rescued the young emperor and killed the great villain, the regent. The main story ended.

But just when the young CEO thought it was all over, an unsent letter in the epilogue shattered his peace of mind!

It turned out the greatest villain, the regent, had actually been a good person!

The regent knew he was near death and had only three years left to live. After that, he would no longer be able to protect the young emperor.

So he willingly gave his own life to teach the young emperor, who had little experience of the world, one final lesson!

The regent hadn't even embezzled anything. He had carefully hidden the treasures from the national treasury, and there were several times more than the inventory listed.

The only people he had killed were corrupt officials and treacherous ministers, who had secretly colluded and built up who knew how many factions, harming countless common people.

And now, the countless riches, power, subordinates, and more all passed into the young emperor's hands without a hitch!

The regent had only one request in his final letter: under no circumstances should anyone clear his name!

That way, he could be the young emperor's strongest, most solid stepping stone!

The young CEO was deeply shaken.

The young man tossed and turned all night.

The grown CEO couldn't sleep, so he grabbed his phone and got into heated arguments with trolls to defend the villain.

Until one day, the CEO transmigrated.

*

The CEO transmigrated into the emperor.

He arrived in the latter half of the book, during the regent's most notorious period.

Seeing his dream man kneeling at his feet, the CEO's hand trembled, and he dropped his sword right in front of the protagonist's group without a moment's hesitation.

Want to sleep on the imperial bed? Sure, sure!

The CEO-turned-emperor happily agreed.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

His unhinged behavior was only the beginning. The dream man was still gathering momentum...

"What the regent says is right, of course. He can't possibly be wrong."

"The regent only wants your life, and you dare impeach him?!"

"The regent can kill anyone he wants!!!"

From then on, the championship-level dream man started aggressively putting down the entire world!

**On the fighting power of a dream man**

Even when he was still a CEO, Duan Chengyu had repeatedly picked fights with trolls under his real name on major platforms, all for Jiang Luyin.

During the company's annual meeting, he was arguing with people for Jiang Luyin.

Between ringing the bell at Nasdaq, he was arguing with people for Jiang Luyin.

When he was trending for making the Forbes Rich List, he was still arguing with people for Jiang Luyin.

In short, no matter how busy he was or where he was, if there was a fight to be had, he would always show up!

Troll 1: "The author's twist with the regent is way too fake. He was a great villain, and now he's been turned into this. It's just a twist for the sake of being emotional, a reversal for the sake of a reversal."

Trolls 2/3/4/n: "+1/+2/+3/...+10086"

Duan Chengyu (verified) suddenly appeared and flew into a rage: "You're as stupid as pigs! You can't even understand the foreshadowing. How could the regent possibly be a treacherous minister? He's clearly a capable, good, loyal, upright, and indispensable minister! If he hadn't held back here and there, including at the end, how could the protagonist's group possibly..."

The spectators chimed in:

"As expected, there he is."

"That bait is so obvious, and yet it's so tempting."

"Send me 50 and I'll say nice things about Jiang Luyin."

The CEO immediately sent a 500,000-yuan cash giveaway!

"Say it! I want every last one of you to praise him!"

*

As emperor, Duan Chengyu excelled in both civil and military affairs, ushered in a golden age, and led the dynasty to new heights. The ministers were pleased with him in every way. He was the perfect model of an enlightened ruler, a saintly emperor!

There was just one thing that gave everyone a headache: His Majesty was far too fond of arguing with trolls.

Anyone who criticized the regent would make His Majesty lose all reason and go completely berserk!

He even scoured the common folk for all kinds of rumors to clear the regent's name, personally debunking them one by one.

And he went into every detail, filling his accounts with all kinds of minutiae about his daily life with the regent.

He even compiled everything into a book and published it for all to read. He required every official to own a copy, and if they came across some insolent commoner saying bad things about the regent, they had to drag him in and give him a lecture! They had to loudly sing the praises of the regent's admirable deeds!

As a result, Duan Chengyu only made people more curious about the regent himself and all his so-called "crimes."

In the eyes of the people, the regent had originally been just an ordinary corrupt official. But now, all kinds of salacious rumors were flying everywhere.

The regent's reputation had turned into that of a fox spirit made flesh, a seducer who bewitched the emperor. He wasn't just a treacherous minister, but a demon consort too!

Under His Majesty's influence, black and white alike had all turned yellow.

This was completely unnecessary. Really, completely unnecessary!

When Jiang Luyin saw the book, he closed his eyes and passed out.

I really don't care about my reputation, but did His Majesty have to do this to me?

Could this be His Majesty's revenge?

The court historian, who had witnessed it all firsthand, excitedly scribbled away: "Is this the legendary case of one fan being worth ten thousand haters?!"

[An insane, author-tormented, overpowered male lead gong x a transmigrated author and ultimate BOSS with three thousand secret identities, shou]

*

Xin Bei was a novice author who was always getting pretentious, fond of showing off clever little tricks and luring readers in just to kill them. His reviews were full of complaints.

After flopping for a long time, Xin Bei took a hard look at himself. This time, he stuck to conventional feel-good tropes like breaking off an engagement and slapping the other party down, a good-for-nothing making a comeback, and playing the pig to eat the tiger. His reputation gradually improved.

The comment section was thriving: "Potential platinum author, update faster, I can't sleep at night."

But later, the comment section exploded.

[Run! Everyone around Xiao Yuan is a secret identity of that ultimate BOSS!! We've all been fooled!!!]

*

Rival, enemy, archenemy, sworn foe;

Drinking buddy, friend, old friend, best friend;

Secret crush, first love, the one he was destined to miss, the one separated from him by life and death...

They were all the same person.

Who could keep it together after that?

As Heaven's Reversal neared its conclusion, an old man with flowing white hair and beard, clad in radiant light and carrying countless secret identities, appeared before the protagonist and the readers...

The protagonist broke down, and so did all the readers.

*

Xin Bei transmigrated into the story before it had even begun.

For millions of years, no one had known that the most exalted and revered Venerable Immortal Tongbei, who shared the lifespan of the heavens, was really named Xin Bei.

Only by personally bringing the story to an end could Xin Bei return to his own world.

Home! Home!

No matter the cost, all Xin Bei wanted was to go home.

Let the male lead suffer. I'll take the blame!

*

"You lost."

Xiao Yuan's eyes were bloodshot as he glared hatefully at Venerable Immortal Tongbei. The other man had countless bodies and had toyed with him from every direction. Xiao Yuan could no longer tell who the person before him really was.

Everyone thought Xiao Yuan would kill the mastermind, including Xin Bei himself.

Xin Bei accepted his fate without a fuss and closed his eyes. "I lost. Kill me."

But...

"Hmph. Kill you?" Xiao Yuan put away his sword. "Dream on."

The scene changed in an instant. The lotus-patterned bed curtains glowed warmly, and the air was thick with a heady, aphrodisiac fragrance.

Xiao Yuan began taking off his clothes, soon stripping himself bare.

Xin Bei: ?

Xiao Yuan drove him step by step onto the bed. His expression was twisted, repressed, almost crazed. "...So, you're my junior sister? My senior brother? My master? My old friend? My nemesis? An old man?"

He wouldn't even spare an old man?!

Xin Bei was shocked. The male lead he had written had finally gone mad!

Xiao Yuan forcefully pinned down the struggling Xin Bei, gripping his pale, tender thigh and pressing in inch by inch. While driving him hard, he sneered, "Don't you like changing? Then change! Change for me!!!"

*

The secret identities are all male.

Both leads are sexually inexperienced.

Theme: If you love someone, say it out loud, okay?!
