Before the Cold-Blooded Minister Turns Evil

The full story is complete and ready to read. Babies, please add it to your favorites! Qi Shisui transmigrated into a book, becoming the tyrant in the story: a foolish and despotic ruler who listened to slanderous sycophants and framed loyal officials. According to the plot, three years later he would die in a palace coup, pierced by thousands of arrows. After the new emperor took the throne, his corpse would be hung on the city wall until it dried to the bone, while countless people continued to curse him. Qi Shisui looked down at Shen Zhuoshan, the sinister and scheming powerful minister below the court, who was smiling obsequiously with murder in his eyes. Trembling, Qi Shisui couldn't help giving Shen Zhuoshan a pleading look, asking him to spare his life. Shen Zhuoshan was startled. "Why is His Majesty batting his eyelashes at me?" In the palace, Qi Shisui had only one way to survive: cling to Shen Zhuoshan and raise Shen Zhuoshan's favorability toward him as high as possible. When Shen Zhuoshan was injured, Qi Shisui would care for him all night. He would keep the Tongtian Tower lit through the night, illuminating all of Vermilion Bird Street, just to pray for Shen Zhuoshan's good fortune. When Shen Zhuoshan was stripped of his power, Qi Shisui would leave the throne before the assembled court officials and personally grant him a sword, placing his own life in Shen Zhuoshan's hands. Whatever Shen Zhuoshan wanted, Qi Shisui would find it for him, just to win a smile worth a thousand gold pieces. He treated Shen Zhuoshan with heartfelt devotion and tender care. Even Qi Shisui himself was moved. - Shen Zhuoshan was reborn. In his previous life, he had spent his life fighting wars, bearing the infamy of a treacherous minister, only to have his entire family executed. His corpse was still lying in a mass grave. With a second chance at life, Shen Zhuoshan decided to strike first, seize power, usurp the throne, and kill the tyrant. But the tyrant had become a little strange?! After court each day, he would keep Shen Zhuoshan behind to invite him to drink wine and admire the flowers. He would ask around about Shen Zhuoshan's preferences and shower him with so many gifts that Shen Zhuoshan's residence could barely hold them all. When Shen Zhuoshan was injured, Qi Shisui would stay by his side all night. After Shen Zhuoshan was stripped of his military command, Qi Shisui even presented him with a sword in front of the assembled court officials. He let Shen Zhuoshan wear his sword at court and granted him power that put him just below the emperor and above everyone else: The Outcast. Shen Zhuoshan: "? Could the tyrant have been reborn too?" After testing Qi Shisui several times to resolve this suspicion, Shen Zhuoshan reached just one conclusion: Qi Shisui was in love with him! A palace coup. A raging fire. The tyrant Qi Shisui, despised by the world, perished in the flames. Shen Zhuoshan had been tricked into leaving the capital. By the time he rushed back, all he found was a charred corpse and an edict naming his successor. - Three years passed in the blink of an eye. Qi Shisui traveled through mountains and rivers, living a carefree life. Until one day, someone drugged him unconscious. When he woke again, he found himself on a familiar bed, his hands and feet bound so he couldn't move. Just as he was about to call for help, Shen Zhuoshan's ominous voice sounded beside his ear. "Your Majesty, long time no see." Qi Shisui's inner thoughts: I'm done for! He's going to kill me! P.S. 1.
