I Made Over a Million After Becoming the Tyrant's Male Consort

[The new novel, The Capital's Number One Darling, is now updated.]

Qian Yanzhi, a player who has been reported to the System many times for his outrageous antics, has taken on a million-tael bounty from the martial world: reform the tyrant Huo Zheng.

Huo Zheng, ruler of the Southern Qin Kingdom, is ruthless and heartless. Rumor has it he's a tyrant who could even kill his own birth mother. Qian Yanzhi hesitates a little at the thought of reforming someone like that, but when he thinks of the million-plus reward, he declares, "I'm in!"

Following the System's instructions, Qian Yanzhi repairs the tyrant's favorite old books today, prepares him a candlelit dinner tomorrow, then shares his bed the day after. His grand project of reforming the tyrant is advancing at lightning speed, but then everything goes wrong.

Tyrant: "You have ulterior motives. You aren't sincere."

Qian Yanzhi: "Nonsense. That's not true. Heaven and earth can attest to my sincere devotion to Your Majesty!"

The tyrant considers this. "Then how about we consummate our marriage tonight?"

Qian Yanzhi: "???" (In the end, those who toy with people's hearts get toyed with themselves.)

Blurb for the upcoming novel The Capital's Number One Darling

The young imperial uncle Li Shu has an honored status and a handsome face.

Yet he's a master at everything from teasing cats and dogs to cockfighting and gambling.

The daughters of the noble families would rather marry the Prince of Ning's heir, who's just returned to the capital, than him.

The Prince of Ning's heir, Chu Yu, is the number one war god of the northern frontier. He's tall and graceful, with a face as lovely as jade, and nobody can beat him at cuju.

Li Shu is furious and casually adds Chu Yu's name to his assassination list...

*

Chu Yu returns to the capital and stays there to help His Majesty. He enrolls at the Imperial College.

Unexpectedly, assassination attempts keep coming, and he even finds a love letter written by Li Shu on one of the assassins, full of tender, ambiguous words.

Chu Yu's heart skips a beat. He naturally pays more attention to Li Shu, gradually dispelling Li Shu's hostility toward him.

*

Later, Chu Yu invites Li Shu for a drink, planning to take the opportunity to confess.

But Li Shu, drunk, tells the truth: "Actually, there's already someone I love. I'll never betray her in this life."

Chu Yu's heart aches. "..."

Reader's Guide:

1. This is a one-on-one romance, one-on-one, one-on-one, with a happy ending.

2. The emperor has no harem: he never had one, doesn't have one now, and never will.

3. Ridiculous antics, lighthearted, absurd. No nitpicking over historical details; this story is the authority.

4. There's no logic. The logic has been eaten. Everything is here to serve the main characters.

Content warning: Since there really is a throne to inherit, there are princes in this story. They are the emperor's younger brothers, and their origins will be revealed along the way.

That's all.
