I Became the Son of a Corrupt Official

Ying Zhuci transmigrates into a palace intrigue novel as the son of a notorious corrupt official. According to the original plot, his father will be executed along with his entire clan after Ying Zhuci comes of age and enters government service. He, too, will die miserably beneath the executioner's blade. Fortunately, he transmigrates early. The former emperor is still alive, and the heir apparent, Yan Wuju, has yet to ascend the throne. Gritting his teeth, Ying Zhuci gets his corrupt father to recommend him to Yan Wuju, and becomes the Crown Prince's study companion. They say the heir apparent is benevolent before taking the throne. Ying Zhuci serves him diligently and tries to curry favor. Perhaps when his family is confiscated, he can save his own life. Even exile to the frontier would be better than being separated from his head. But when he enters the palace and sees this cold, cruel, sinister, and volatile heir apparent, Ying Zhuci's knees go weak. Which bootlicker twisted an iron-fisted ruler into a benevolent man?! He serves at Yan Wuju's side in fear and trembling, terrified that his life might be cut short, and does everything he can to set this wayward heir apparent back on the right path. He risks his life to oppose excessive punishments and desperately counsels him against going too far in his obsession. By the time Yan Wuju is about to ascend the throne, Ying Zhuci has finally become his confidant. Just as Ying Zhuci is looking for the right moment to fight for his own survival, he gets locked in Yan Wuju's bedchamber. Yan Wuju: "Since you entered the palace, you've opposed me at every turn. You are a grave threat to me, and must be dealt with as soon as possible." Ying Zhuci: "…Huh?" You bastard!!! What a waste of my time! If you're going to kill me, then do it. I was going to die anyway He is about to vent his anger before he dies, but instead Yan Wuju pins him down on the bed and gives him a thorough "dealing with." Ying Zhuci: … Your Majesty, your son is gay. He's a homosexual!!!! Theme: Build strength through years of hard work, then make your move.
