After Becoming the Black Lotus Emperor’s Teacher

[Complete! If you've bought the whole book, please leave a five-star review! My next novel, “My Roommate the Campus Heartthrob Is Acting Strange,” will be out soon. See below for the blurb!] Shen Qingzhuo transmigrates into a fictional political intrigue novel as the tyrant's teacher. In the original story, the tragic, powerful tool character turns evil and slaughters every protagonist and supporting character. The frail Imperial Tutor is carved up by the tyrant and reduced to ashes. When Shen Qingzhuo arrives, the original owner is punishing the young tyrant by making him kneel in the snow and reflect on his actions. System: Your mission is to stop the character from turning evil, so you must Shen Qingzhuo: Strike first? System: … Shen Qingzhuo: I was joking. How could I hurt such an adorable little ball of glutinous rice? So he steps into the snow, bends down, and carries the young tyrant back inside. To raise the young tyrant into a virtuous ruler with sound values, Shen Qingzhuo teaches him to read and write, military strategy, and the art of ruling. As for seizing the throne and usurping power, his teacher will take care of all that, right up until he personally sends him to the highest seat in the empire. On the night of the enthronement ceremony, the new emperor drops to one knee and reverently kisses the Imperial Tutor's pale jade fingers, flushed pink. Then, with his tall, burning body, he pins him firmly to the cold, imposing dragon throne. “The whole world belongs to me, but I belong to you alone, Teacher.” The tyrant is mercurial and bloodthirsty. Anyone who defies him meets a grisly end. Only the frail beauty serving as Imperial Tutor in the palace can make the bloodlust vanish from the emperor's eyes with a casual remark. Xiao Shen: “Marry me, Teacher. Share the vast lands of Great Yong and its flourishing age with me.” Shen Qingzhuo: “I don't want to become the wicked beauty who brings a dynasty to ruin in the history books.” Xiao Shen: “Then how about you marry me?” Shen Qingzhuo: “…” “I am a wolf, and I am a mad dog. I gladly wear a collar and chains, and you hold the leash in your hands. So, Teacher, please don't ever let go of me.” Beautiful, ruthless, fiercely protective Imperial Tutor bottom × wolfish, scheming tyrant top 1. Fictional setting, with some inspiration from the Ming dynasty. Some details are made up, so please don't nitpick the history. 2. Not a serious period piece, but the prose is smooth and easy to read. 3. A sweet romance focused on the relationship. Given the author's IQ, the political intrigue is worth about five cents, no more. The early story mixes child-rearing with power struggles. The top grows up in every sense before they fall in love. I guarantee it'll be sweet. 4. Weibo: @JinjiangChangYeManMan.

His delicate, jade-like fingers in particular are as lovely as a work of art. At the start of his sophomore year, circumstances force Jiang Yubai to move into Room 611 in the finance department dorm, where he becomes roommates with Lu Jinyan, the famous campus heartthrob. Lu Jinyan is 190 centimeters tall, with eight-pack abs and a perfect V-shaped torso. He's famously “the hottest guy in the gay scene.” Unable to deal with the attention, he has to change his social media bio to: “Straight. Not looking.” When they first meet, Lu Jinyan is shirtless, showing off his abs without a care. Jiang Yubai glances at him once, then demurely looks away. A beauty from the art department has moved into Room 611. To make him feel welcome, Lu Jinyan goes out of his way to help his new roommate fit in. Until one day, while Jiang Yubai is alone in the dorm, he opens a short video and is caught in the act by Lu Jinyan, who's come back to get something. Jiang Yubai: “…” Lu Jinyan starts being careful around him. He shuts the bathroom door when he showers, bundles up even in the height of summer, and jumps away like lightning if they accidentally touch. A little disappointed, Jiang Yubai tries to ease the awkwardness and lies, “You don't have to worry. I actually have a boyfriend.” Lu Jinyan: “?” Jiang Yubai's perks are back. The campus heartthrob plays basketball and shows off his abs. He puts on a wet-shirt show in the dorm, drapes an arm over Jiang Yubai's shoulder and cuddles him for no reason, and even insists on squeezing into his bed at night. Jiang Yubai: Is this how straight guys act with their friends? Later, Lu Jinyan holds his slender, delicate waist and pins him to the thin mattress, biting his burning-red ear as he demands, “Is your boyfriend better, or am I?” Jiang Yubai: “You… Only you…” Sunny, scheming, self-converting top × alluring art-school beauty bottom, unaware of his own charm 1. Fake NTR, fake love triangle. 2. The top punches at the air, constantly acting out “I'm jealous of myself” and “I'm cheating on myself.” [Please follow my upcoming novel, “The Commander-in-Chief Wants to Cross the Line Every Day”!] The neglected Third Prince Xie Jichen is chosen by an ambitious prince from another family to become a puppet emperor. He keeps his strength hidden and moves forward one careful step at a time, even lowering himself to strike a deal with the Eastern Depot's chief eunuch. At last, he sends the Prince Regent to his grave and takes back power. But before he can betray the eunuch, the damned eunuch makes the first move and confines him to his bedchamber, where he torments him day and night. Furious and unable to fight back, Xie Jichen can only swallow his anger and pretend to go along with it, gradually lulling the eunuch into lowering his guard. Then one night, the emperor lies on the dragon bed with his ink-black hair spread loose. He pulls a dagger from beneath his pillow and plunges it into the man's heart. Warm blood spurts out. Xie Jichen licks the blood splashed across his lips and smiles with bewitching cruelty. “You're just a eunuch. How dare you presume to desire me?” The damned eunuch gazes at him in adoration, takes his jade-like hand, and pushes it deeper. He leans close to Xie Jichen's ear and murmurs affectionately, “You missed. His Majesty really can't bring himself to kill me.” Xie Jichen: “…Get lost!” 1. The top isn't actually a eunuch. 2. A madman versus a wild dog, loving and killing each other to the extreme. 3. The bottom really wants to kill the top, and the top really wants to kill the bottom. The two meanings of “do” are not the same. [My completed transmigration novel, “The Cannon Fodder CEO Has No Vulgar Desires,” is on my author page.
