1.

Gu Yuanbai transmigrates into a frail, sickly emperor with barely any presence in a danmei novel. The emperor is just background scenery; the whole story is about the Regent and the capital’s number-one beauty seizing power and falling in love.

Gu Yuanbai, ambitious to the core: I’m laughing.

Now that he’s emperor, how could he not take control of the realm, expand the borders, and make a name for himself in history?

2.

One day, Xue Yuan, the ambitious young son of the current Grand General and future Regent, enters the palace with his father for the first time. Looking up from behind the crowd, he catches a glimpse of the young emperor’s face.

Born rebellious, Xue Yuan curls his lip and thinks with scorn that the little emperor is so pretty he has no trace of manliness.

With a frail body and such a striking face, how is he supposed to rule Da Heng?

By being weak?

3.

After Xue Yuan offends Gu Yuanbai, he is brought before him under guard.

Gu Yuanbai coughs softly as snowflakes settle on his shoulders. Xue Yuan’s expression darkens.

“I’m in a very bad mood,” Gu Yuanbai says, glancing at the future Regent and smiling gently. His voice is hoarse. “Don’t make me any unhappier. Understood?”

Xue Yuan is like a mad dog.

But Gu Yuanbai fears nothing. He only fears that things won’t be exciting enough. Taming a mad dog into a loyal subject is just the kind of challenge he can enjoy despite his frail body.

Only, it seems he may have tamed him a little too well.

*Coming Soon*

Coming soon: Someone Keeps Trying to Stop Me from Taking Over the Court:

After the death of business magnate Shang Junluo, he transmigrates to ancient times and becomes a poor child in the middle of being trafficked.

The original owner is actually the sole heir to the Duke of An’s estate. After losing him, the family adopts an heir. Before long, they will find the original owner again. Unfortunately, he is mediocre, and the adopted heir secretly bullies him until he dies of depression, leaving the duke and his wife deeply disappointed.

Shang Junluo gives a cold laugh. Before the Duke of An’s family can find him, he runs away and arranges for a passing official and his wife to adopt him.

What you can’t have is always the most precious. As long as their own son remains lost, the duke and his wife will only miss him more and find fault with their adopted son at every turn.

Shang Junluo hides all his scheming beneath a serene, unworldly exterior. In the end, he rises step by step through the imperial examinations and takes first place in the palace exam.

On the day the new scholars parade through the streets, the Duchess of An, haggard from longing for her son, sees the young top scholar, graceful as a jade tree and seemingly immortal. She jumps to her feet in shock, tears spilling from her eyes.

Everyone who meets Shang Junluo is dazzled by him. They say, “One glimpse of Shang Junluo can set the whole city of Luoyang abuzz.”

It seems that only the word perfect can describe him.

But the all-powerful Regent disagrees.

From the moment he lays eyes on Shang Junluo, he knows the man is just like him: ruthless and obsessed with power.

People like them hate their own kind. He is happy to be the only one willing to do anything for power. If there are more, the court will descend into chaos.

The Regent idly spins the ring on his finger and says coolly, “Get rid of him.”
