After I Transmigrated into a Book, I Became the Most Vile Regent

Please read before starting:

This story is from the top's perspective. The romance is mostly the other person reading too much into things and seeing everything through rose-colored glasses.

The early story follows the characters when they're young; the original plot only starts in the middle. The wild, over-the-top plot kicks in after that. The early chapters focus on their gradual upbringing and a slow-building romance.

Story blurb

(I'm terrible at blurbs, but I'll force myself to write one:

Fu Shengbai should have died, but he came back to life. When he opened his eyes, he wasn't looking at a hospital ceiling, but at a broken window in a cold, dilapidated old house. The thin quilt covering him was full of patches, and someone was waiting outside for him to die so they could wrap him in a mat and toss him in a mass grave.

So Fu Shengbai became Fu Gu, an illegitimate son of a sixth-rank official who had been cast out of his family.

The System told him that if he completed Fu Gu's storyline from the original novel, he could return to his original world and have enough money to support himself for the rest of his life.

So he fought to stay alive. Plenty of people hated him, and some even loved him, but all he wanted was to survive.

He couldn't die before becoming regent.
