My Treacherous Colleague Was Reborn Too

Both are reborn.

In his previous life, Huai Yuexi climbed over a mountain of bones in court to become the Right Chancellor. He killed the Crown Prince, outlasted the emperor, avenged his deep-seated vendetta, and settled his family's grudge. He thought he could finally rest in peace forever. But after drinking a cup of poisoned wine, he not only failed to get his wish, but opened his eyes to see the supposedly dead emperor rising from the grave.

"..."

Huai Yuexi forced his scream back down.

He was back at square one. The chancellorship had nothing to do with him now, and the enemies who should have been dead were alive and well.

Huai Yuexi regretted it. He missed the treacherous minister who had been his most trusted colleague. But at this point, it seemed his colleague barely knew him...

*

Perhaps the poisoned wine that haunted him day and night in his dreams had finally taken effect. The treacherous minister, his colleague Feng Zhanzhu, was reborn as well. He opened his eyes and found himself back several years earlier. The person who had wanted to harm him was still living in luxury and wielding power as empress, but that wasn't important. What mattered was...

Huai Yuexi was still alive.

The treacherous minister Feng Zhanzhu decided he would treat himself well this time.

Preferably by confessing his feelings right away.

"..."

He had miscalculated. The affection was all on his side. In this life, Huai Yuexi might not even know who he was.

*

Two lifetimes as ministers, their worldly concerns washed away.

The emperor's word commands a blood-soaked realm; a ruler's fate decides his legacy through the ages.

When will the wrongs be righted and the grudge laid to rest? I will raise my cup for you and walk this road for you.
