In his previous life, Ji Wumian was a benevolent and widely admired crown prince, generous to his subordinates and compassionate toward the people.
Yet his cousin stabbed him in the back, his favorite minister betrayed him in a scheme, and his closest friend pierced his heart with a sword.
The Eastern Palace fell. He was deposed and confined, subjected to endless humiliation until his flesh and blood turned to ash.
After ten years of hellish torment, he opened his eyes again...
He had become the frail, useless heir of the Marquis Xuanping's household.
In this life, he cast off his compassionate facade and became a living Yama, overturning the entire board with one hand...
But then he suddenly discovered that the people who had once pushed him into hell were now all “in love” with him, as if they had gone mad...
His cousin, who had betrayed him, burned his jade pendant into his chest and kept declaring he would die for him.
His favorite minister, who had used him, slaughtered the people to prove his loyalty, asking only for a single glance from him.
His closest friend, who had stabbed him, spent a fortune seeking a substitute and swore to help him ascend the throne...
Ji Wumian: ...Is this late-arriving madness contagious or something?
A word of advice, everyone: In this life, plenty of people will die for me. I'll claim the throne myself, and I'll pacify the land myself. In this tangled, sinister world, I will be the one to reveal the light...
As for those who betrayed and hurt me...
Go to hell. Every last one of you can die!
[Beautiful, strong, tragic bottom x top who fights for love]
In a nutshell: You think this is a story where everyone gets sent to the crematorium, but actually, I'm the one who digs up the graves!
Reading guide:
1. The bottom is a good person. He's neither a pushover nor stupid.
2. The setting is very loose. Don't nitpick the details.
3. I'm a terrible writer, really, really terrible, but I'm also fierce and cowardly, so if you insult me, I'll cry really loudly!
Theme: I believe in myself. I am the light!
