The World's Number One Little Tyrant!

In his previous life, Fu Chenghan was a foolish emperor. During a campaign he personally led, he fell for the enemy's scheme to sow discord and dismissed Xiao Xun, the great general whose achievements had become a threat to the throne. As a result, his army was defeated and he was captured.

Xiao Xun turned the tide, tearing through the enemy ranks and cutting down eighteen enemy generals in a row before rescuing him.

Deeply moved by how rare a pillar of the state was, Fu Chenghan took an arrow for Xiao Xun and died.

0-1-18. The record speaks for itself!

When he opened his eyes again, he was back ten years in the past.

The land was still intact. Fu Chenghan was only sixteen, and the great general was still a young bodyguard, ordered to stay by his side every day.

Most importantly, his peerless God of War father, who had died young, was still alive!

Fu Chenghan grabbed his imperial father's leg and swore he would keep him healthy and ensure his reign lasted for generations.

When his father took pills recklessly, Fu Chenghan tried them first. When his father was ambushed, he took the blade for him. When his father ordered a family wiped out, he rescued them. When his father gave himself over to sensual pleasures, he... How had his father started favoring the prime minister!

Did showing favor to a subject always have to end up in bed? No wonder Father never suspected his officials of plotting rebellion. You could quarrel in bed and make up by morning. Your dad is still your dad!

If he and Xiao Xun had been close in his previous life, then even if the enemy had a hundred ways to drive a wedge between them, they never would have succeeded.

Having learned his lesson the hard way, Fu Chenghan decided to assemble his own political circle ahead of time. He needed to start favoring a few people at once.

First and foremost, of course, was Xiao Xun, his future General Who Guards the State.

Fu Chenghan followed the example of the wise rulers of old, sharing a carriage and a seat with Xiao Xun, even sleeping with their feet touching. But when it came to how to favor a man, he still had no idea what he was doing.

Xiao Xun was restrained and stubbornly tight-lipped. Not only would he refuse to teach Fu Chenghan, he would even say things like, "Your subordinate would never dare overstep."

Fu Chenghan persevered and decided to teach himself.

One night, while Xiao Xun was asleep, he secretly untied the man's martial robe. Beneath the white undergarment was a broad, muscular chest, its warmth making Fu Chenghan nervous. When he looked lower, he saw something bulging beneath the fabric, like a horse.

Xiao Xun woke up.

For no reason, Fu Chenghan panicked and tried to back out. "Tonight, tonight you can sleep by yourself. I have to go find someone else. The strategists are still waiting for me."

Xiao Xun yanked Fu Chenghan back and pinned him beneath him like prey.

At last, Fu Chenghan learned how to favor a subject.

After that night, Xiao Xun became even more devoted, letting Fu Chenghan hit and scold him, and willingly serving him like an ox or a horse.

By day, Fu Chenghan rode a horse. By night, the horse rode him :(

*

Before Xiao Xun forgot himself: If I get into the imperial bed, what does that make me? A traitorous minister? A royal favorite? How will the historians write of me, and what will the Xiao descendants think of me?

After Xiao Xun forgot himself: Let them think what they like. I have no descendants.

First and foremost: A phrase meaning to be the first to suffer an attack or disaster. It is used correctly here: it means that the pure and upright great general was ruined by a foolish little emperor.
