His Highness the God of Slaughter Is Back at the Crematorium Again

[A Translator with a Mysterious Past and Hidden Malice X A Brooding, Jealous Prince Who Looks Down on the World] Also known as Iron Sleeves, Red Robes

Two powerful leads / Ensemble cast / Political intrigue / Fated enemies / The powerful one bows his head

Fifth Prince Li Yan could summon thunder with one hand and rain with the other. After helping the emperor eliminate a grave threat, he was effectively exiled from Yujing for his many killings and given the title Prince Su. After he was sent to govern the borderlands, a single edict banning books left everyone on edge.

Li Shuangling, the illegitimate daughter of the General's Residence on the frontier, grew up enduring contempt and was raised by a foreign wet nurse. But when Prince Su raided the residence over her possession of banned books, she became an outcast from a noble family.

He ordered her room burned to the ground, with her and the books inside.

Through the flames, he said coldly, "Killing you would be as easy as turning my hand."

At his feet, she swore to herself that she would rise higher than him and trample him beneath her.

Later, her ability to speak two languages won her a place in the court at Yujing, and she quickly rose to prominence. As she made her way through one dangerous encounter after another, their hostile hearts gradually drew closer.

Until the day the imperial edict ordering her marriage to a foreign ruler arrived.

Li Shuangling knelt to receive it, her heart turning cold as ice.

The court officials whispered:

- Who doesn't know that the Khan of Beixi is well past seventy and has a few cruel, torturous tastes? Poor girl...

- Prince Su is ruthless. He can even abandon his fiancée. It looks like Li Yan is sure to inherit the throne!

In the bridal carriage, Li Shuangling never once looked back.

Years later, the Khan of Beixi died suddenly, and his concubines were buried with him.

Li Shuangling had just dealt with the hidden guards sent to bury her. Wiping her hands, she prepared to fight her way out, only to see the new emperor of her homeland, Li Yan, the man who had overturned the realm, standing outside.

He had once been the most honored man in his homeland. Now his face was spattered with blood, and his blade was chipped.

His eyes, dark as black jade, were red, making him look like a little dog drenched in the rain.

[Reading Guide]

1. An imaginary dynasty, a touch of ensemble cast. The leads are natives of this world; the supporting cast transmigrated.

2. The heroine is loved by everyone, and all the male leads are romantically inexperienced. Lots and lots of jealousy-fueled rivalry. Two men competing for one woman, with plenty of flirtatious tension, which I love writing. One-on-one ending.

3. The heroine knows her worth and is career-minded, but that doesn't stop her from teasing the hero whenever she gets the chance.

The hero avoids women and falls in love with the heroine alone.

4. The plot-to-romance ratio is 6:4. I'll make sure to clearly mark the scenes with especially intense romance in the summary.
