I’m Determined to Be This Villain!

Lu Qing, the young master of the Chief Advisor's household, was born charming and amorous. He hated being tied down, delighted in a life of pleasure, and had countless close friends and beauties around him.

One day, the emperor granted a marriage decree, ordering him to marry the famously sickly Sixth Prince, Ming Yuanyi.

After seeing the man's portrait, Lu Qing propped his chin on his hand and thought, With a face like that, maybe marrying a man isn't so bad after all?

On their wedding day, Lu Qing got drunk and somehow ended up sharing a bridal chamber with him.

That night, Lu Qing dreamed that he had transmigrated into a book.

In the book, because his marriage partner was a man, he grew to loathe the Sixth Prince. The day after the wedding, he rushed into the palace to ask the emperor for a divorce, only to fall in love with the emperor at first sight.

For the emperor's sake, the Lu Qing in the book changed his ways, speaking gently and obeying every order.

He even willingly offered himself to the Sixth Prince, seduced the court officials, and obtained secrets from all sides because the emperor told him to.

Lu Qing: ...Am I some kind of pathetic lunatic?

To escape the book's brainless plot, Lu Qing decided that since the emperor, the so-called son of the world, was an idiot, he would simply find someone else to take the throne :)

Ming Yuanyi, the Sixth Prince of the Sheng Dynasty, had once been a god of death on the battlefield.

He had peerless good looks, a clever and decisive mind, was brave in battle, and had a calm, strong, composed disposition.

Yet because his brothers grew jealous of him, treacherous villains framed him, and the person who shared his bed betrayed him, he eventually died of a grave illness.

Reborn into another life, Ming Yuanyi coldly stared at the young man sleeping beside him, trying to figure out how to kill him.

Then the young man suddenly opened his eyes and smiled as he kissed Ming Yuanyi on the lips. "Husband, you were amazing last night."

"..."

Ming Yuanyi: .

After that, the young man seemed to become a different person.

He no longer called Ming Yuanyi useless or disgusting like he had in his previous life. Instead, whenever Ming Yuanyi's illness returned, he kissed his aching chest;

when Ming Yuanyi despised himself, he wrapped him in tender, fervent words of love;

and even when Ming Yuanyi revealed the darkest and most shocking ambitions in his heart, the young man resolutely stood by his side.

Lu Qing tilted his head and asked with a smile, "Are you planning a rebellion?"

Ming Yuanyi lowered his eyes. "If I say yes, will you be afraid?"

"Of course not." Lu Qing clasped Ming Yuanyi's hand. "I've been waiting for this day for so long."

A corrupt ruler sits on the throne of the Sheng Dynasty, indulging in wine and women and imposing ruinous taxes, leaving the people in misery.

Unable to bear seeing the people suffer, the Sixth Prince Ming Yuanyi leads his trusted soldiers in a coup in the seventh year of Ding'an, and later ascends the throne.

Everyone says Ming Yuanyi is the ruler chosen by fate, a wise emperor who has ushered in a golden age.

Only Ming Yuanyi knows that he simply wanted to paint the world as a gift to win one person's heart.
