Su Wanyi stayed up all night reading a power fantasy about an ancient emperor. The male lead was a puppet child emperor with a tragic past.
He pretended to be a debauched and incompetent ruler, and called the regent Su Yu, a man around his own age, his adopted father. The whole world despised him for it.
But when he turned twenty, he showed his claws. The first thing he did after reclaiming power was imprison Su Yu in a flooded dungeon, strip away his skin and bones, and torture him for three years before throwing him to the dogs.
Then he used ruthless methods to reform the imperial court and became a tyrant feared by all.
When Su Wanyi woke up, she discovered that she had become Su Yu, the regent who met a gruesome end in the book.
What's more, she discovered that the original Su Yu was a woman disguised as a man.
Su Wanyi had only just opened her eyes when she saw the young emperor kneeling before her, kowtowing and calling her his adopted father.
She nearly fainted on the spot.
This was bad. She had already thoroughly offended the future tyrant.
Was there still time to raise his favorability?
A little scene: Years after ascending the throne, the new emperor still hasn't taken any consorts, and rumors are flying.
But behind the red silk curtains, the regent Su Yu sits on the imperial bed with her clothes in disarray.
The cold-eyed young emperor holds the beauty by her slender waist, trails his fingers up her neck, and bends down to nip at her. "Didn't you want the throne, Yu'er? I'll give you the empire, and myself, too. How does that sound?"
Su Yu's eyes are full of longing, and her body has gone limp. In her heart, though, she cries out:
Waaah, the story wasn't supposed to go like this!!!
#I only meant to seize the throne, but somehow I seized the emperor, too#
A puppet emperor, radiant on the outside and a madman within x A hardworking regent who disguises herself as a man and dutifully plays the villain
