The Treacherous Minister’s Guide to Self-Rescue After Being Reborn

The notorious villain Wu Yanyu, hated by all, was dead. His body was never found, and the whole country celebrated.

Alongside the more than nine thousand charges against him, people secretly discussed his brutal, demon-like methods, as well as the face said to be so beautiful and poisonous it could ensnare the soul.

Three years later, he opened his eyes and discovered that he had come back to life in the body of a displaced prince he had just rescued: a foolish pretty boy with nothing but a handsome face.

Wu Yanyu laughed boldly. "I worked myself to the bone for the old emperor in my last life, only to end up like that. This time, I might as well become emperor!"

But fate had other plans. The day after he awoke, the old emperor assigned him a tutor:

Huo Jingze, the very man who had once led the campaign against him and sent him to prison.

The people had already turned Wu Yanyu's exploits into popular tales, inventing thousands of romantic entanglements for him. They paired him with everyone from classmates to colleagues, and even the old servants, cats, and dogs in his residence were not spared...

Among them was his mortal enemy, the Left Censor-in-Chief, Huo Jingze.

Lord Huo was upright and composed, renowned for his iron-fisted methods and lack of social graces. It was said that after Wu Yanyu's death, anyone in court who dared to mention his name would be impeached in a memorial.

Yet no one knew why he had tolerated three years of wildly fictional tales.

Just as no one could understand how the most convoluted, unbelievable tale of all had somehow pieced together...

the most unspeakable, ambiguous truth.

Reading Guide:

The Huo-Wu couple would like to remind you ╰(*´︶`*)╯

1. Both are pure, one-on-one, no switching or breaking up the pairing. They are each other's only ones in body and heart, with a very strong mutual attraction and deep feelings for each other.

2. No controlling the characters or writing self-insert fantasies.

3. Please don't argue or attack anyone in the comments.

4. The protagonists aren't perfect. This is the author's personal preference.

5. Not serious political scheming. Set in a fictional world, so please don't nitpick the history.
