When a Shadow Guard Finds the Future Tyrant

A deadpan, adorable, eccentric beauty x a loyal "tyrant"

*The day he toppled the dynasty, he found the beautiful imperial guard loyal to the emperor among the corpses and took him away.*

The gong is from the lowest rung of society.

He hates this dynasty, gilded on the outside and rotten within.

He fights desperately to earn the right to survive, and is the "bandit chief" of this area.

One day, while counting money with his foot planted on someone's head, he looks up and sees an unsurpassed beauty standing before him.

His long hair is unbound, he wears black, and one of his eyes is blind and covered with an eyepatch.

There are no good people here.

He instinctively attacks, but the beauty's pale, slender fingers clamp around his wrist, leaving him unable to move. His bones nearly get crushed.

The beauty only looks at him calmly.

"Take him away."

*

The shou has been reborn.

He is the chief of the imperial guards, not very bright, and only knows how to kill people for the emperor.

In his previous life, the gong, a rebel, ascended the throne as emperor. Seeing how beautiful he was, he pulled him out of a pile of corpses, cleaned him up, and pinned him to the imperial bed.

The shou is terrified of the gong. Terrified to death.

So in this life, he has to turn the gong into a useless layabout before he can rise to power.

But he doesn't know how to raise someone.

Still, whether emperors or nobles, everyone is delighted to hold and kiss him, as if he himself were a gift from heaven.

Well, he can treat himself as a reward. Rewards are good motivation.

When the gong comes in last on an exam, he kisses the gong's cheek with an expressionless face.

When the gong gets punished for slacking off, he kisses the gong on the lips, still expressionless.

He keeps everything perfectly measured and never crosses the line, leaving the gong's head spinning.

...Clean, outstanding, highly skilled in martial arts, standing there like a painting and drawing everyone's attention wherever he goes. Even flowers and animals seem to favor him.

Someone like that doesn't mind that the gong can't do anything, and always comforts him with kisses.

Until one day.

He sees the emperor grab the beauty's chin and kiss him. The beauty doesn't dodge.

He asks why he didn't dodge.

The beauty licks his lips and says, "I'm used to it."

The gong stands still, murderous intent slowly appearing in his eyes.

So he's the dog emperor's man?

Hah.

Such an unsurpassed beauty, wasted in the hands of a foolish ruler.

He has to become stronger.

Train in martial arts, study, climb the ranks.

One day, he will become emperor, place the beauty on the throne, and make the dog emperor kneel below and watch.

*A deadpan, adorable beauty shou, everyone has a one-sided crush on him and dotes on him. No coercion. The shou unknowingly raises a pack of dogs.

*The shou is pure, but may be kissed once or twice by others. All male supporting characters and the gong are pure.
