[To everyone following this novel: I developed myocarditis because of COVID while this novel was serializing, and the aftereffects were pretty severe. I spent a long time resting and recuperating. I was almost constantly going to doctors and taking medicine throughout 2023. When I first left the hospital, I was so weak I couldn't do anything but lie in bed. I was also in a terrible state emotionally, berating myself every day for being useless. It took a long time to get my emotions back on track, too. This year, I wanted to pick the story back up, but after trying several times, I felt like I'd lost the thread, so I'm putting it on indefinite hiatus. The one consolation is that I might have had a premonition at the time, since I chose not to put it behind a paywall. Still, it's not right to leave this novel unfinished, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who's been waiting for updates.]
#Only Realized He Was a Heartthrob After Faking His Death#
Shen Zhuo died after enduring endless torment.
His former nemesis, the powerful eunuch Ye Tingshuang, now ran the court in place of the new emperor and had confined him in the dilapidated Dongyang Palace.
Looking back on his life, his ministers despised him, his family turned against him, and his lover betrayed him.
Poisoned at the height of his misery, he was plagued by illness from the age of twenty and became little more than skin and bones. Among his many strikingly beautiful enemies, he looked like a filthy rat.
He was a pitiful emperor.
The day Shen Zhuo perished in a sea of flames, he was bound to a Shura Field System.
"You've had it rough. You've got all kinds of high-risk job buffs stacked on you."
"Tyrant, sickly, youngest prince. You've got a powerful eunuch who controls the court, a half-brother who isn't related to you by blood, and a beloved hostage from an enemy kingdom who's adored by everyone. You've got enemies and love rivals coming out of your ears."
"With a setup this perfect, you can win without lifting a finger!"
Shen Zhuo: Win by doing what? They're all my enemies!
And so Shen Zhuo was reborn.
He went from the original story into a fanfiction.
From being universally hated in the original, he became universally adored in the fanfiction.
Unaware of any of this, Shen Zhuo declared, "It's time you paid for what you did. I'm getting revenge."
His body and looks, which should have been ruined long ago, had escaped the poisoning. He was no longer as hideous as he had been in his previous life...
Some people even said that his notorious beauty was too dazzling for such a violent man.
Shen Zhuo, baffled: ???
Everyone fought over him.
His ministers, lover, and imperial brother, all of them his enemies, eagerly placed power in his hands, afraid he might be the slightest bit unhappy.
Shen Zhuo, baffled: ???
Until...
After faking his death, Shen Zhuo reunited with them at a deadly banquet. Attending under a false identity, he saw Ye Tingshuang in the middle of slaughtering a traitor's entire family, his hands stained with blood, grim and vicious, like a demon from hell.
Shen Zhuo thought Ye Tingshuang would torment him just as he had in his previous life. As he hurried to leave, he ran into danger and fell unconscious.
When he awoke, the powerful eunuch who had once been his nemesis had already recognized him. He was prostrate at Shen Zhuo's feet, murmuring softly and shamelessly confessing his mad, rebellious love for him.
He was not difficult to handle in the slightest.
Shen Zhuo: ...Get on your knees!

Reader's Guide:
1. The line in the theme is from Educated.
2. He goes from the original story into fanfiction. The male lead was a real eunuch in his previous life, but only pretends to be one in this life.
3. Set in an alternate Wei-Jin era. Please don't nitpick the history; the setting is primarily fictional.
4. A wish-fulfillment romance with a Shura field. This is my practice run at writing a romance-focused story.
5. The blurb has been revised a little, but the central premise hasn't changed.
6. [Important] He fakes his death in the middle or later part of the story.
Theme: You should have gone to your mountain, as a bird does.
I went to wb and took a look, and the following is Da Da's original words.
Let me explain the situation. This year I won't be writing papers or coding for the time being. I haven't been in good health in the first half of the year. I kept getting colds repeatedly. There were very few days in a month when I wasn't sick. The formaldehyde problem after moving, my dog had a malignant tumor surgery in July and August, and I was hospitalized for myocarditis in September. After I was discharged, I was very weak, almost to the point where I would be tired even if I sat for half an hour. Yes, it would be uncomfortable to sit. I went to major hospitals and saw both Chinese and Western medicine. The detailed doctor said that myocarditis would last for at least three months. The Chinese medicine doctor said that I was exhausted and depressed for more than a month due to physical reasons. By December, the progress of coding has been extremely slow recently. [Sickness] Only when you are seriously ill do you understand how important good health is. Everyone should take good care of themselves.

"Bite! Your Evil God's Large Account is now online [Unlimited]
[You have been killed. ]
[Entering loop two. ]
Luyao participated in the thriller game.
She died once, but was reborn.
Unexpectedly, her rebirth node was like hell, and she was only reborn half an hour ago.
Before her rebirth, Lu Yao was tortured to death by a monster. Because of her special characteristics, the monster ate her dead body as a source of evolution.
Fortunately, Luyao got a system.
[Your strength comes from the screams and fear of others. With each additional scream, you gain strength. ]
[Please be like a dominator and crush everything. ]
Luyao:…
Her strength is all based on the other party's imagination?
Ah, is this reliable?
But Lu Yao is really just an ordinary person.
Because of the system, she had to bite the bullet and awkwardly threatened her——
"Ouch."
Ghosts: So scary!
Humans: How terrifying!
System: [Ding - Fear increases, you temporarily gain the powerful power in their imagination, please continue to intimidate. ]
Lu Yao: That's so unreliable! If others are not afraid, then I am a weakling!
In 20XX, a game was loaded into the minds of people around the world.
This game is very special, divided into monster arena and human arena.
Game managers always thought that Lu Yao was just a rabbit that broke into a pack of wolves and was accidentally teleported to the monster arena.
The monster camp is full of dangerous ghosts, and they will fight each other until the end——
Fight for the identity of the boss of the human arena!
Fear, screams, blatant massacre of human beings,
This is the ultimate pursuit of bosses.
However, Lu Yao reached the top with outstanding results, defeated all the ghosts and became the boss of the human arena!
The game was forced to give Lu Yao the body of a small monster of the Ke type.
It's very confident -
As the new boss of the human arena, Lu Yao has no strength. If he rashly teleports her to the human arena, those strong human players will kill her.
Who knows, this is just the beginning of being slapped in the face.
The game is halfway through.
When all forces entered Lu Yao's territory, they discovered that the person in his sleep was like a vampire in an oil painting in the Middle Ages, born with darkness and beauty.
She opened her eyes——
All kinds of ghosts gathered here, surrounding this coffin with surrender, belief, and longing.
It was like being surrounded by the gods of the new century.
Yugi was dumbfounded: Good guy, you are disguising yourself as an evil god!
[Ding--your evil god's large account is online! ]
