The Mad Dog I Raised Usurped the Throne [Interstellar]

Zong Lin, the Empire's strongest commander. Five years ago, a transmigrator possessed his body, turning the invincible God of War into a universally despised man who went around throwing himself at everyone.

His adjutant, Xie Chongyuan, a rabid dog he had raised, could take no more. He staged a coup, became a tyrant, and locked the "fake marshal" away in an underground cell.

Five years later, Zong Lin awakens and snaps his hand bones with his bare hands to break free of his restraints.

When Xie Chongyuan, covered in blood and violence, kicks open the cell door and presses a gun to his forehead,

Zong Lin's eyes remain cold. "You've gotten bold. You dare point a gun at me?"

The tyrant, who holds all power, instantly breaks down. He slams to his knees, clutches Zong Lin's military boots, and weeps. "Commander, I deserve to die."

Later, a shocking turn at the grand ceremony brings the god back to his rightful place.

Former subordinates who once turned on him after abandoning their admiration go weak in the knees and kneel, sobbing as they beg forgiveness;

Powerful figures from enemy nations who once scorned him offer him star systems with red eyes, asking only that he look at them once.

And the gravely wounded Xie Chongyuan stands in front of everyone like a rabid wolf guarding its food, possessively kissing Zong Lin's bloodstained fingertips:

"Get away from him. He belongs to me alone now."

[Maximum-intelligence, supremely rational top × Extremely double-standard, fiercely possessive, unhinged bottom]

[Reader's Guide]

1. A top-level powerhouse / utterly rational / ruthless to others and even more ruthless to himself / natural heartthrob top × Brooding and unhinged / submits only to the top / fiercely possessive, fanatical bottom

2. Strong top and bottom; they dote on each other, and save each other in both directions (the top is the bottom's only light, and the bottom is the top's sharpest blade).

3. The bottom loves only the top's soul from beginning to end and despises the transmigrator. During the coup, he doesn't harm the top's body in the slightest.

4. A spectacular unmasking, with former subordinates and side characters all regretting their choices and coming around in a chaotic scramble, but the top sees them only as subordinates or trash. In body and heart, he has only the bottom.
