Swapping Bodies with a Tyrant

Pairing: Emperor and Chancellor, 1v1, happy ending

◇Synopsis:

Emperor Qi Ji of Great Qi, who had been on the throne for eight years, paid no attention to state affairs and was the very picture of a foolish ruler.

If not for the ten-year pact she had made with the late emperor, Xie Yixiu would have left long ago.

But just as the deadline drew near, she and Qi Ji suddenly switched bodies.

After the body swap, Qi Ji, who had been muddleheaded and ignorant, opened her eyes at last.

She saw how little affection there was among her blood relatives, and the hardship and misery of the imperial clan.

She saw bullies running rampant in Chang'an and the people struggling to make ends meet.

She saw Xie Yixiu's pain and indecision, and realized she intended to leave.

Qi Ji caught hold of Xie Yixiu's sleeve and asked, "If I become a good emperor, will you stay?"

Xie Yixiu replied, "Yes."

But later, Qi Ji discovered that Xie Yixiu had lied to her.

Would clipping her wings allow Qi Ji to keep her by her side?
