I Faked My Death, but the Ghost Emperor Husband Dragged Me Back

★ A scheming, politically brilliant ghost emperor x a martial powerhouse and tireless go-getter, the one who got away Xun Tang, a seasoned quick transmigration mission operative, received her final assignment: The land was divided amid war, and the militarily strongest state, Northern Zhou, was bent on waging war. Both its emperor and crown prince were cruel and ruthless. Her mission was to turn the emperor of Northern Zhou into a benevolent ruler. Rather than choose a lord to serve, she would create one herself. Xun Tang had no intention of getting close to the vicious, brutal, hypocritical, and greedy crown prince. Instead, she chose the pitiful, unloved second prince, Qin Yanzhao. Qin Yanzhao was as bright and refined as the moon, gentle and handsome, a kind, soft-hearted little melon. Because of his frail health, the emperor had always despised him. She would ally with Qin Yanzhao, help him build up his power, win the struggle for succession, and ultimately ascend the throne! After Xun Tang explained her complete plan to seize the throne, Qin Yanzhao gazed at her with his beautiful amber-flecked eyes and softly asked: “You said that to form an alliance, you would marry me. As the daughter of a duke, you could clearly become the crown princess. Wouldn’t marrying me be a hardship for you?” Xun Tang didn’t care in the slightest. “We’d only be married in name. We wouldn’t interfere in each other’s private lives, and you’d be free to find true love.” “A marriage in name only…” Qin Yanzhao lowered his eyes slightly, then looked up again with a gentle smile, his eyes still dark and inscrutable. “All right. I’ll do as you say.” On the day Qin Yanzhao ascended the throne, Xun Tang completed her mission and died to escape, perfectly satisfied. But when she opened her eyes again, the System told her: Your new identity is a beauty sent into the palace. The current emperor is Qin Yanzhao, who has been on the throne for three years. But first, you must conceal your identity and survive in his palace. Conceal her identity? Xun Tang was baffled. Given her relationship with Qin Yanzhao, wouldn’t completing the mission be easy if she simply revealed who she was? Once inside the palace, Xun Tang was speechless. In the great hall, Qin Yanzhao was covered in blood from the waist up, smiling as he pointed his sword at someone. “Your leg bones are just the right length. How about I break them out and make myself a pipa?” Who was this cruel tyrant in such a terrible state of mind? What had happened to the soft-hearted little prince who smiled as he played the qin for her? Qin Yanzhao had really gone mad! Xun Tang nervously brought Qin Yanzhao his medicine. The moment she set the bowl down, he clamped his hand around her wrist. He dragged her in front of him and softly asked, “You still care whether I live or die, so you came back to find me, didn’t you?” Xun Tang played dumb. “Come back? Your Majesty, you’ve mistaken me for someone else…” Qin Yanzhao forced a ferocious smile. “It doesn’t matter if you won’t admit it. I’ll keep you locked by my side, day and night. You’ll never escape again, Tangtang.” ★ 1. Both leads are virgins, one-on-one, happy ending 2.
