Palace Wall Embers

In his previous life, Xie Linyuan held military and political power, and officials in both the government and the public regarded him as a rebellious minister who was evading the monarch's authority. He acted coldly and resolutely, controlled the government all year round, helped the weak emperor Xiao Heng to clear away the troubles of the vassal family, and endured the scorn of the whole court by himself. In the end, he was charged with the felony of treason and was sentenced to death by Xiao Heng's personal decree. It wasn't until the day Xie Linyuan died that Xiao Heng found out the whole truth, suddenly woke up, and felt endless regret gnawing at his heart. He sat alone in the empty imperial city, and finally died in loneliness and depression. Opening his eyes again, Xiao Heng returned to the time when he first ascended the throne and Xie Linyuan was in his prime. The regret of missing his true love and never being redeemed in his previous life completely drove the emperor's paranoia to the point of madness. In this life, he has lost his youthfulness and cowardice, and still looks dignified and calm on the outside. On the inside, possessiveness is growing crazily, and he keeps an eye on Xie Linyuan every step of the way. The people above the court quietly gathered power, secretly cut off all attempts to frame the regent, and privately clung to him, paranoid enough to keep this person firmly within their sphere of influence. He did not allow others to criticize Xie Linyuan, and stopped anyone who tried to drive a wedge between the two of them. He used the power of the emperor to wildly declare his only belonging. The regent, who had always been calm and self-possessed, and abided by his duties as a monarch and his ministers, was caught off guard and fell into the emperor's strong paranoia. He started to be on guard and avoided, and slowly let go of all layers of defense in the emperor's desperate rush. The shackles of the monarch and his ministers, and the rumors between the government and the public were all torn to pieces. The emperor was madly criticized for using imperial power as his employment, and he was paranoid about his love. He kept the forbearing regent in his heart. The two of them joined hands to control the country thousands of miles away, and fulfilled the regrets of their previous lives. Purpose: to break away from the shackles of the status of monarchs and ministers and the prejudices of court rumors, the protagonist uses rebirth to make up for the regrets of his previous life, pursues his true heart with honesty and paranoia, accepts each other in both directions to complete self-salvation, join hands to rule the world, and praises the power of firm and dedicated love and mutual protection.
