I Dumped the Tyrant, Then Faked My Death

Lu Fufu, a girl from a poor mountain village, transmigrates into a book. Her mission is to turn the villainous tyrant in the story into a wise ruler.

Mu Linchuan is a tyrant through and through: narrow-minded, gloomy, petty, and quick to turn against people.

After rebels seize the capital, he loses the use of both legs. Lu Fufu, a discarded concubine living in the Cold Palace, carries him out of a heap of corpses.

A Son of Heaven brought low: overnight, he goes from a noble young emperor to a half-sized person no bigger than a child, a nobody anyone can bully and humiliate.

After watching the inconspicuous little girl stumble about, seeking doctors to treat him, the boy falls silent.

He is pessimistic, negative, and weary of life, but for Lu Fufu, he is willing to turn over a new leaf and fight his way inch by inch back to the capital.

He will charge ahead for her and keep her safe.

The emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty is a legendary figure. In his youth, Emperor Yongli, Mu Linchuan, was a tyrant whose crimes were too numerous to record.

Later, the rebels seized the capital, broke his legs, and drove him from the throne. It took him a full ten years to fight his way back.

After his return, Emperor Li devoted himself to good governance, enacted benevolent policies, defeated the Rong and Di tribes, opened sea routes, reduced taxes, and connected the canals. He became a wise ruler whose name would be remembered for generations.

The years of his reign in the latter half of his life are known as the Yuan Shuo Prosperity.

It is said that all of this changed because of an inconspicuous young girl at his side.

That girl was the future Empress Yichun, once a discarded concubine in the Cold Palace.

Yet on the very day of her coronation, this beloved Empress Yichun tragically died, and the young couple, so devoted to each other, were separated by life and death.

The civil and military officials witnessed the young emperor grieve so deeply that he suspended court for several days, lost in a daze. Later, Empress Yichun was honored with tiger guards, a phoenix palanquin, dragon banners, a hearse, a yellow canopy, and a feathered standard. She was enshrined in the imperial ancestral temple, receiving the highest honors in death.

But Lu Fufu had a little secret she had never told Mu Linchuan: she had actually faked her death and escaped.

A cute, dazed country girl who says “Ah” all the time x a gloomy, world-weary, pessimistic little tyrant

Notes:

The male lead is a lunatic.

That’s all I can think of for now. It’s a happy ending.

See the author’s note in Chapter One for details.

How to win over an aloof, proud, and upright scholar-official

The product of suddenly wanting to write a melodramatic story: a woman who runs away while pregnant.

Raising a child, the imperial examinations, food, and everyday life.

The male lead is my ideal type: a stern but warm-hearted scholar-official who follows the rules, has a strong sense of responsibility, and has maxed-out sweet-talking skills!
