Back Before I Humiliated the Cold-Blooded Powerful Official

Only after Wang Yaozhi died did he learn that he was a cannon-fodder villain in a storybook. He was an idle prince entrusted to the male lead's father, a sadist with a face like Guanyin's and a heart like a snake's, and the inescapable nightmare of the male lead, a powerful official, during his childhood. So after the male lead used him to enter the court, the first person he schemed to kill was Wang Yaozhi. After being reborn, Wang Yaozhi broke free of the storybook's constraints and returned to the day after he had been drinking and laughing with his close friend. That night, the elder statesman from the court entered the palace and never came out again. The once-arrogant Xue family was implicated and had their home confiscated. It was also that night that the court fell into turmoil, with the whole realm teetering amid storms. Startled awake by thunder and lightning, Wang Yaozhi sat up and saw a handsome young man in plain clothes kneeling with his head bowed beside the bed. "Your servant Yunu pays his respects to Lord Changyao." Looking at the male lead, who would one day have him torn limb from limb, Wang Yaozhi hurriedly gave him the bed and wrapped himself in his quilt, fleeing as far away as he could. He didn't notice the young man's startled, complicated gaze... Without the storybook's influence, Wang Yaozhi decided to turn over a new leaf. He not only fussed over the male lead and doted on him as much as he could, but also carefully observed proper boundaries, afraid of leaving him with even the slightest childhood trauma. That was, until the male lead passed the imperial examinations and became a top scholar. Wang Yaozhi was so happy that he drank for once. With his head spinning, he somehow entered the wrong room... The next day, seeing the bed in a state of passionate disarray, Wang Yaozhi hurried to get up. He was just wondering how he could explain himself and save his life when the pain behind him left him stunned, and he fell to the floor. The young man, usually so obedient and proper, looked at him mockingly, the corners of his mouth curled in a smile that was impossible to read. "At last, I understand what it was like for you, my lord, back then." He bent down and bit hard at the corner of Wang Yaozhi's mouth, tasting blood: "So intoxicating it eats away at your bones, leaving you longing for life and death alike." In his previous life, Lord Changyao had been Xue Qingyu's nightmare. This man had branded an indelible mark of humiliation on his body and soul. So at the very first sight of Wang Yaozhi, Xue Qingyu had wanted to stab this beast in human clothing to death. Who could have guessed that in this life, the man would not only keep his distance from him, but also plan to marry and have children, living a happy family life? My lord, how dare you? Since you dragged him into this stinking mire, don't ever dream of escaping him, not for all eternity. Theme: Strive tirelessly to improve yourself.
