[Reborn] The Ungrateful Wolf

He entered the civil service at twenty, became prime minister at twenty-five, served for fifteen years, and was given a cup of poisoned wine at thirty-five.

He died at the hands of the young emperor he had wholeheartedly and devotedly helped ascend the throne.

He thought his life would end in such misery, but unexpectedly, he got the chance to start over.

This time, even if he loved him, he wouldn't spoil and indulge him like before.

He schemed his way back to the emperor's side, only to take back everything he had once given him.

He wanted to see for himself just what kind of cruel, ungrateful wretch that seemingly otherworldly man really was.

Loyal, cunning top minister x fake-scumbag, scheming bottom emperor.

Content warning: This story focuses on the top protagonist.

A story set in the same world as the heroine's mother: Pei Zhongyan x Helan Shun.

This story has a bit of a conspiracy-theory vibe. If you'd rather read a lighthearted food story like the heroine's mother's, check out I'm a Chef in the Modern World. It's light, affectionate, and has no angst.
