On his way to collect his winnings the next day, a runaway cargo truck comes hurtling straight at him.
When he opens his eyes again, he's transmigrated into a revenge power fantasy novel he read a few days ago!
No! My hundred million!!
Worst of all, he's become the novel's second-biggest villain, the useless emperor Xiao Yue, who gets killed by the protagonist in the end.

Xiao Yue is the regent of the current dynasty. The fourth son of the late emperor, he has won many battles and is deeply loved by the people.
Everyone assumes that after the old emperor dies, he will pass the throne to Crown Prince Xiao Yue. But when the imperial edict is announced, it names the seventh prince, Xiao Yue, as his successor.
The whole court is stunned. Everyone knows the seventh prince spends his days carousing and idling away his time.
Xiao Yue, meanwhile, becomes regent, tasked with assisting the new emperor.
No one knows the shocking secret: Xiao Yue is not the late emperor's son. He was born from an affair between Consort Yang and another man.
From the moment he was born, the word "revenge" was etched into Xiao Yue's heart. For years, he kept his head down and secretly had the late emperor killed.
But the late emperor discovered what he had done on his deathbed and hastily rewrote his final edict, forcing the throne into Xiao Yue's hands.
But so what? In the original novel, it doesn't take Xiao Yue long to get rid of this useless new emperor and take his place.

When he transmigrates, it's two months after Xiao Yue's accession to the throne.
Xiao Yue: I really just want to be a slacker! What do you mean, giving me the most exhausting job in the country?!
With death looming, Xiao Yue simply becomes a hands-off ruler.
Memorials? Let the regent review them!
State affairs? Let the regent decide!
Enemy attack? Let the regent fight!
Empress? Let the regent be the empress!
Wait! Who wrote that last one?!
Xiao Yue props his chin on his hand and gazes quietly at the emperor before him, smiling faintly. "What? Your Majesty isn't willing?"
Xiao Yue: I think I survived! But why does this feel so wrong?!

A revenge-driven top who only cares about getting revenge and humiliating the regent x an emperor bottom who only wants to lie flat and actually does
Xiao Yue x Xiao Yue
Reader's guide:
One-on-one, both are each other's first. The bottom transmigrates into the body, and the original Xiao Yue had a harem and wasn't chaste. The bottom doesn't touch anyone after transmigrating, and the harem is later disbanded! Given the circumstances, I just can't figure out how to make the original Xiao Yue, that scumbag, chaste. But the top is definitely chaste!! The top has nothing in his head but revenge, hahaha.
The bottom was 25 and becomes 22 after transmigrating (youthful rejuvenation!). The top is 25, and older than the bottom.
An alternate-history setting, without much political scheming or anything like that. I can't write that stuff anyway. It's a light, silly, brainless story.
The top is genuinely a little dark, I think, because of his upbringing, but the bottom will warm him up!!
The top treats the bottom coldly at first, because the original owner was such a handful...
The bottom really is a slacker, even later on! But he'll definitely change a little. Please don't say he has no shining moments, sob. I think saving Xiao Yue is his shining moment!
Theme: This slacker doesn't want to get up!
