A stunning, irresistible, bewitching emperor shou x a sinister, ruthless regent gong who dotes madly on his younger brother and is fiercely possessive
Li Baojuan, a pretty-boy idol with no talent beyond his looks, transmigrates into the body of an abandoned royal child and is sent to be raised by the powerful Huo Wuhan.
Huo Wuhan is bloodthirsty, warlike, sinister, and ruthless. He recaptures lost territory and wins one great victory after another, but also builds "jingguan," towering mounds made from the bodies of enemy soldiers. The surrounding tribes call him the "Heaven's Punishing Blade."
From then on, all under heaven submit. When Huo Wuhan returns to the capital, he holds power over the realm!
Li Baojuan grows up following Huo Wuhan from one campaign to another.
Everyone assumes that the useless prince, Li Baojuan, has long since been ground down until he is barely human.
But they never imagined that Huo Wuhan would play both father and mother to him, personally feeding him and singing him to sleep. He only feels sorry that the child has to suffer through the campaigns, and ends up raising him to be even more extravagant and debauched than the crown prince in the palace!
Not long after they return to the capital, Li Baojuan takes the throne, while his elder brother Huo Wuhan becomes regent.
Li Baojuan has always been spoiled, so he immediately does everything an incompetent emperor is supposed to do.
But he never expected his elder brother to change. Though he still coaxes him to eat and sleep, now he wants to cultivate him into a ruler on the level of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han!
"Tsk, the regent is lecturing His Majesty again. Listen to him cry! Poor emperor."
"Just a few days ago, the regent caught him looking for beauties from the Western Regions and pinned him to the dragon bed to teach him a lesson. He came crawling out in tears, only for the regent to grab him by the ankles and drag him back in. I couldn't even bear to watch."
"It's no wonder the regent gets angry. Our emperor is unbelievably beautiful, but all he knows how to do is play around. So what if the nations come to pay tribute? The moment they lay eyes on His Majesty, they act as if they've lost their minds and refuse to leave. They want to cling to him every single day!"
"Did you hear? The prince of the Western Regions and the crown prince of the Northern Di got into a fight over which one His Majesty likes to play with more."
"That's nothing! A couple of years ago, when our emperor was on campaign with the regent, the Khan of the Turks caught a glimpse of him from far away. The Khan ordered a portrait to be painted and carried it with him every day. When the regent killed him, he was still clutching the portrait. The regent was so furious that he hacked him into mincemeat!"
"Brother, I'm not afraid of you! If you keep being so mean, I'll stop letting you be regent. I'm the emperor!"
"You little brat. You're the emperor, and I'm your brother. Get over here and bend over."
Li Baojuan obediently bent over his brother's lap. His buttocks and thighs burned from the spanking, but he didn't dare cry too loudly, only whimpering and begging for mercy.
Huo Wuhan was exceptionally tall and had spent years campaigning, making the young emperor in his arms seem even more helpless beneath his immense shadow.
"Indulging in pleasure and debauchery is one thing, but you dare go around seducing people too! An incompetent emperor deserves a lesson, and a little slut deserves one even more!"
Reader's guide:
1. Li Baojuan's professional skills as a pretty-boy idol make him very good at pandering to fans. Any kind of fans, really. He's an emperor who knows exactly how to charm people.
2. A sweet slice-of-life story with a strong comedic streak and no political scheming.
3. Potential warning: the little emperor will hold concerts in the palace. He adores his idol career.
