A Scumbag's Confession

Coming soon: The Cannon-Fodder Male Empress Only Wants to Build a Career Du Heng loved Yan Rong in his own humble way for five years, diligently serving as his subordinate and bedmate all that time. At twenty-six, he finally decided to walk away and quit. Only after Du Heng had given up completely did Yan Rong realize what he'd lost. But no matter how much he regretted it, he couldn't mend the wounds and rifts he'd caused. There's no cure for regret. No! There is a cure, but it only lasts ten minutes... Yan Rong gets the chance to return to the past, but he can only go back ten minutes each day. For someone as rotten to the core as Yan Rong, ten minutes is obviously not enough for a full day. But now he has to use those ten minutes to save himself! The handsome, scummy, and unhinged gong (Yan Rong) x the gentle, patient, and resolute shou (Du Heng) "I only want to be with him, for all my life, until we're old." Warnings: 1. Lots of melodrama. 2. Readers who care about virginity, proceed with caution (emphasis added). 3. The scum gong suffers for his mistakes; no switching gongs. 4. The story may differ from the blurb! The author tends to follow the outline too closely. 5. The author knows absolutely nothing about design, so it's all made up. The author regrets choosing this setting and really, really regrets it. Please just laugh off the made-up parts, and don't hurt the author a second time QAQ. *Coming soon: The Cannon-Fodder Male Empress Only Wants to Build a Career Qi Fanyuan is a cannon-fodder villain in The Rise of the Great Zhou. He traded his brains for beauty, became infatuated with Zhou Chengrui, the fifth prince of the Zhou Dynasty, and shamelessly insisted on marrying him. Unaware that he was being used, he marshaled the entire Qi family's resources to eliminate Zhou Chengrui's rivals and help him take the throne. Once it was done, Zhou Chengrui treated him like trash after only three days as male empress, cut out his tongue, crippled both his legs, and locked him away in the cold palace for the rest of his life. Of course, Zhou Chengrui didn't get a happy ending either. Less than six months after taking the throne, he was overthrown by his own elder brother, the third prince, Lord Xinnan Zhou Chengqi. Zhou Chengqi's army of 500,000 marched on the capital. He killed his younger brother with a single stroke, then hung his corpse on the city wall and left it to bake in the sun for five days as a warning. When Qi Fanyuan transmigrates into the novel The Rise of the Great Zhou and reads through his own life, his contempt for his fictional self is practically spilling off the page. He's a renowned history graduate student at A University and a famous history content creator on A Station. Could his life really end like that? No way! But on the day he arrives, he's kneeling in the palace, asking the old Zhou emperor to arrange his marriage to Zhou Chengrui. At the crucial moment, Qi Fanyuan changes his tune: "The person I want to marry is the third prince! I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish!" The whole court is stunned. Everyone thinks the young master of the Qi family is crazy. Who doesn't know that Lord Xinnan is a ruthless killer with a terrible reputation and crippled legs? Who would want to marry him? At first, everyone waits for Qi Fanyuan to make a fool of himself. Fifth Prince Zhou Chengrui says, "He's just throwing a tantrum. He'll come crawling back to me in five days." The second branch of the prime minister's family, which has always looked down on him, says, "He has a pretty face, but no brains. If he insists on marrying a crippled, disgraced prince, his life is over." Zhou Chengqi is cold and indifferent, and can't even be bothered to meet his new husband. "Ignore him for a few days, then send him away. I don't keep useless people." Qi Fanyuan wears a face full of tearful sorrow, while inwardly looking down on everyone. What do love and romance matter? Eighty percent of the court won't live to see Zhou Chengqi ascend the throne. He needs to pick a side and seize his chance to accomplish something great! Court intrigue, war, good governance: there's nothing he can't handle! But as he gets on with his work, everyone comes around. Zhou Chengrui is eaten up with anxiety, desperate to coax Qi Fanyuan back. The Qi family wears out the doorstep begging Qi Fanyuan to come home for a few days. Meanwhile, Qi Fanyuan has become Lord Xinnan's most beloved person, the cherished empress who enjoys the highest honors! *Highly recommend my friend's ongoing novel: After an Unexpected Turn, I Became Daoist Partners with My Sworn Enemy by Yanhuo Renjia.
