After Becoming the Tyrant of a Fallen Kingdom

Transmigrating into a danmei novel about contending for the throne, Yin Guang finds himself a frail king who can barely catch his breath.

As a background character, his only job is to provide land and a vast stage for the hero and heroine to love and fight each other.

When the deer is lost, all under heaven pursue it.

Yin Guang had planned to just lie flat and kick the bucket when his time came, then start over.

But the royal clan hadn't yet settled on how to divide the land, so they forced him to cling to life and sit on the throne as nothing but a puppet.

They tried every method, but he couldn't die and couldn't live. All he could do was languish in bed, miserable day after day.

To keep him alive,

they even used a living person as medicine.

Yin Guang looked at the other's hateful gaze and remembered how he would be horribly killed in revenge in the story. He wearily rubbed his forehead. Why was even dying a good death so hard?

Fine, then. He'd build irrigation works, construct the Great Wall, and expand the borders.

Let them fight. He'd do it just so he could have a proper, satisfying death.

Summoned back from the frontier by his family, Zong Ba thought his parents had finally accepted him.

He never expected that, because a younger clansman had offended the king, his parents would turn him into a human medicine vessel and offer him up for the ailing king to use.

Zong Ba hated everyone who looked down on him.

If he ever got the chance, he would topple the whole dynasty and take his revenge.

But he never expected that one day the king would open his cell and descend the steps into the dark chamber where he was imprisoned.

The king was frail, pale as paper, and imposing, yet exceptionally handsome and refined.

He was nothing like Zong Ba had imagined.

The other man gave a couple of quiet coughs, then spoke slowly:

"You may go."

Later, who knew what had happened?

Zong Ba looked at the sleeping king beside him, got up from under the covers with practiced ease, and cut his finger to let blood drip into the bowl beside them.

The other man furrowed his brow slightly and murmured that he was cold,

so Zong Ba hurriedly slipped back under the animal-hide blanket and wrapped his arms around the king's waist again.

The spring chill was biting. He mustn't let the king catch cold.

[The Secret History of Great Liang records that Yin Guang, the third ruler of the Great Liang dynasty, was frail in his youth but cruel and bloodthirsty. He ascended the throne at an early age, feigning weakness and incompetence, then seized power with ruthless resolve and governed with an iron fist. For a time, Great Liang entered the height of royal authority.]

Inspired by Qin, with a bit of everything. In short, an alternate world.
