After I Became a Monk, the Tyrant Couldn't Stop Thinking About Me

Shen Bi transmigrates into a book and becomes a dissolute, spoiled young prince. As a disposable character, he loves tormenting the antagonist whenever he gets the chance, and is eventually brutally killed by the scheming, long-suffering antagonist, who holds a grudge and always gets even. The antagonist, Xiao Shen, is the orphaned heir of the previous dynasty. After his country is destroyed, he becomes Shen Bi’s servant and bedmate, suffering constant humiliation. Later, he restores his kingdom and slaughters the imperial family. No one who ever wronged him meets a good end. When Shen Bi arrives, Xiao Shen is wearing shackles and handcuffs, bound face-down on a special bed across from him. His flawless physique and powerful, muscular backside catch the eye. Shen Bi’s heart skips a beat. He grabs a robe and covers that eye-catching body, then forces himself to stay calm. "Xiao Lang, what happened today was all a misunderstanding. I’m going on a long journey. Do as you please. From now on, our paths will never cross again." Before long, he is forced to return. Xiao Shen has risen halfway up. The robe that covered him has been tossed to the floor, and his powerful, lean body makes a striking impression. "Why aren’t you going on your journey anymore?" Shen Bi looks like he’s about to cry, yet still manages a smile. "How could I leave Xiao Lang behind?" From then on, they see each other every day. One pretends to be calm while staying on guard at all times. The other feigns obedience while secretly building up his strength. On the day Xiao Shen launches his uprising, Shen Bi takes advantage of the chaos to fake his death. Now wearing the imperial robes, Xiao Shen is left utterly alone. Though he doesn’t believe Shen Bi is dead, he still erects a cenotaph and often stands before it, lost in thought. One day, he hears that a wandering Daoist looks very much like someone he once knew, and immediately has him dragged back to the palace. He lifts the man’s chin and studies him for a long time before concluding, "Shen Lang, it’s been a while. Why did you have to die before becoming a Daoist?" Shen Bi refuses to admit it. "You have mistaken me for someone else, benefactor." Xiao Shen sneers. "Is that so? Guards, take this Daoist priest to the harem. I’ll personally determine whether he’s real or not."
