Friends, check out these palace secrets! Why are the young emperor and the regent both fighting to become the other's empress? The follow-up novel, The Paranoid Villain Wants Me to Confess (Transmigrated into a Book), is now underway. Please add it to your reading list!
*This novel is complete. Here's the blurb:
Xiang Lu transmigrated into a book as a eunuch. He had quite a high position, the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old, but he was destined to die a little too soon.
When he arrived, this Nine-Thousand-Year-Old had just ordered the castration of the protagonist gong, who lay naked on the platform before him.
Just as the knife was about to fall, right before the fellow's manhood was cut off for good,
Xiang Lu said, "Stop!"
The other young eunuchs: ?
The protagonist gong, Su Yeran: ?
Xiang Lu said, "Young Master Su is a skilled martial artist. He can still serve the country!"
At that moment, upon the land of a feudal dynasty, amid the dark, suffocating rules of etiquette, a spark of red began to shine!
To stay alive, Xiang Lu took it upon himself to help the nation's flower, Su Yeran, grow up strong and healthy.
From today on, you're Daddy's good boy!
To make sure the child grew up healthy, Xiang Lu brought him food and drink, and showered him with care and concern.
That went on until the boy turned eighteen. The young General Su, whose talents were beginning to shine, asked the emperor for a reward: he wanted to bring the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old into his residence as his confidant.
Xiang Lu: ? Aren't I your father?
The Nine-Thousand-Year-Old mysteriously disappeared from the palace.
At the same time, a new guest appeared at the general's residence.
Su Yeran's voice was hoarse, pleading: "Nine-Thousand-Year-Old, please stop running away. Can't you show me some affection...?"
Xiang Lu looked at him and fell silent.
Show you affection, my foot! You unfilial brat!!!
Paranoid general gong × fatherly Nine-Thousand-Year-Old shou

The follow-up novel, The Paranoid Villain Wants Me to Confess, has this blurb:
In the eighth year of Yanhe, on the eve of the emperor's coming-of-age ceremony, Regent Lu Jingyan rebelled and usurped the throne.
After seizing power and becoming emperor, the first thing he did was defy all opposition from his ministers and make the deposed emperor his empress, an unprecedented event.
From then on, the two emperors clashed at every turn, matching wits and wiles, loving and loathing each other, caught in melodramatic mutual torment, and repeatedly brought back from the brink of death.
When Wen Jin transmigrated into this angsty novel as the deposed emperor, there were still six months until he would be usurped.
With no talent for political intrigue whatsoever, Wen Jin decided to lie back and keep reading his romance novels.
Being empress is great! Few duties, lots of money, and no need to deal with state affairs! Being empress is the best!
To make sure he could become empress, Wen Jin did everything he could.
Impeachment memorials against the regent? Toss them out!
Consorts who might make the regent suspicious? Send them away!
Talented people the regent had his eye on? Promote them!
He had only one goal: clear away every obstacle and get that empress's seat as soon as possible.
On the eve of the coming-of-age ceremony, just as Wen Jin eagerly awaited being usurped, stripped of power, and forcibly taken,
the regent, famed as a mad beauty, knelt before him, brushed the blood from his fingertips, and gently stroked the hem of his robe.
Darkness swirled in his deep eyes, and his low voice turned husky as he spoke.
"Your Majesty, the rebels have been eliminated. This peaceful court is the coming-of-age gift I offer you."
Wen Jin: ?
The villain turned into a loyal subject? Could he still become a carefree empress with an easy life and no worries?
[Gong's point of view]
After years of retirement, Lu Jingyan discovered that he had transmigrated into the body of a regent with a mountain of daily work, and was about to usurp the throne and become an even busier new emperor.
Lu Jingyan: I just want to grow flowers and fish. Work, go away!
Fortunately, he knew that the young emperor was innocent and lecherous, had long coveted him, and dreamed of taking him into the harem as his empress.
The harem was a wonderful place: far from the political arena, surrounded by beautiful scenery, perfect for growing flowers, fishing, and enjoying retirement.
Lu Jingyan thought it over. Fine! He would claim the empress's seat, no matter what!
[Bonus scene]
The moon shone bright, the stars were sparse, and their shadows shared a drink.
Wen Jin had had a few too many. His red eyes shimmered, and his breath was soft and warm.
Lu Jingyan caught him as he swayed, pressed his lips to the other's ear, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, is there someone you love?"
He held the official seal, ready to hand it over the instant Wen Jin confessed, determined to become the first male empress of Great Qi.
"Someone I love...?" Wen Jin's gaze wandered as a haze settled over his eyes. "No! Absolutely not! My heart belongs to the realm. I have no personal feelings!"
Wen Jin silently let out a breath.
That was close. The crazy regent was fishing for information. He wasn't going to fall for it!
· An unlearned emperor shou × a regent gong who only wants to retire (both transmigrated into a book)
· In the original novel, the emperor and regent were mutually in love all along: secret pining before the usurpation, painful romance afterward, and now nothing but sweet love~
· Older gong. The gong and shou are not blood-related. The story is entirely fictional and not historically accurate.
