The Chancellor's Breathtaking Beauty [Reborn]

In his previous life, Fu Yong rose through the ranks to become a powerful minister, earning more merit than the ruler could tolerate.

The new ruler, whom he'd personally helped ascend the throne, turned on him once he was no longer useful.

He wielded power for a lifetime, only to be torn apart by five horses.

This brilliant prime minister was reborn on the day he passed the imperial examinations.

"What a beauty. It'd be a waste to make you an official."

Because of that remark, Fu Yong had once intercepted Du Beichen's path to becoming crown prince in a fit of rage. They hated each other until death.

This time, his gaze darkened, and he smiled. "Your Highness, are you offering yourself to me?"

When he was young, Emperor Qiming, Du Beichen, was looked down upon and spent years pretending to be a fool. After ascending the throne, he ruled with an iron fist and repaid every slight, intending to deal with his enemies one by one.

The top scholar Fu Yong had once been assigned to study alongside Du Beichen. The two couldn't stand one another and were at odds from beginning to end.

After Emperor Qiming took the throne, the whole court wondered if the tyrant would have Fu Yong tortured to death. How awful!

Unable to bear seeing his beauty tortured, Emperor Qiming issued an imperial decree, ordering the prime minister to stay secluded in the palace for seven days, where no one was allowed to see him.

Fu Yong: He's trying to drive me mad!

Emperor Qiming: I just want to know what it feels like to be on top for once!

A dissolute, sharp-tongued emperor, Du Beichen, as the pursuer x a cold, calculating, breathtaking beauty, Fu Yong, as the pursued. One-on-one, younger top, focused on the bottom.

[Notes]

1. The bottom's temperament is rather unstable after being reborn.

2. The top has a serious split personality.

3. There is a court-politics storyline, but it's secondary.

* Next novel coming soon: Tempered in Fire

Cheng Ning, the eldest disciple of Changmen Sect, has the bearing of a gentleman and has reached the Ninth Realm in cultivation. He need only await the heavenly tribulation to become an immortal.

No one expected him to perish in a heavenly fire, consumed until not even a trace remained.

A thousand years of cultivation, ruined by a single thought.

Only then did everyone remember that before Cheng Ning joined the sect, his conduct had been questionable. He bullied his fellow cultivators, flirted with men and women alike, and shamelessly pursued Luo Mengjun. He was nothing but a menace. The wheel of fate turns, and no one escapes retribution.

Cheng Ning, whose persona also fell apart after being struck by heavenly fire: I'll take on a new secret identity and raise hell everywhere.

They say the usually aloof and proud Immortal Lord Mengjun has turned dark, searching all three realms as if he absolutely must find someone.

Cheng Ning: I need to keep a low profile and stay hidden.

Is refining artifacts not fun enough, or is there no money to be made in the demon realm? Why would I be stupid enough to cultivate with Luo Jealousy?
