In the eighth year of the Yanhe era, Regent Lu Jingyan rebelled on the eve of the emperor’s coming-of-age ceremony and usurped the throne.
After seizing power and becoming emperor, the first thing he did was defy all his ministers and make the deposed emperor his empress. It was an unprecedented scandal.
From then on, the emperor and empress faced off at every turn, matching wits and battling one another, loving and hurting each other in a ridiculous cycle of suffering and near-death.
When Wen Jin transmigrated into this angsty novel as its deposed emperor, he had six months before the throne was usurped.
With absolutely no talent for political intrigue, Wen Jin chose to lie back and keep reading his storybooks.
Being empress was great: little work, lots of money, and no need to manage the government! Being empress was the best!
Wen Jin did his utmost to secure his place as empress.
Impeachment memorials against the regent? Throw them away!
Suspicious members of the harem? Send them all away!
Talented people the regent had his eye on? Promote them!
He had just one goal: clear away every obstacle and take the empress’s seat as soon as possible.
On the eve of the coming-of-age ceremony, just as Wen Jin was eagerly anticipating being deposed, stripped of power, and forcibly taken for himself,
the regent, renowned as a mad beauty, knelt before him, brushed the blood from his fingertips, and gently touched his robe.
Darkness surged in his deep eyes, and his voice was low and hoarse as he spoke.
“Your Majesty, the traitors have been eliminated. This newly restored court is my coming-of-age gift to you.”
Wen Jin: ?
Could he still become a carefree empress with no worries?
[Regent’s point of view]
After years in retirement, Lu Jingyan discovered that he had transmigrated into a regent who was busy from dawn till dusk and was about to usurp the throne, only to become an even busier new emperor.
Lu Jingyan: I just want to grow flowers and fish. Work, go away!
Luckily, he knew the young emperor was innocent and lecherous, had been coveting him for ages, and dreamed of taking him into the harem as empress.
The harem was a great place: far from officialdom, surrounded by beautiful scenery, perfect for growing flowers, fishing, and enjoying retirement.
Lu Jingyan thought it over. Fine! The empress’s seat was his for the taking!
[Little scene]
The moon shone bright, and stars were few. The two shared a drink.
Wen Jin had a few extra cups of wine. His red eyes shimmered, and his breath was warm and soft.
Lu Jingyan smoothly caught him, pressed his lips to the other man’s ear, and whispered, “Your Majesty, is there someone you love?”
He clutched the imperial seal, ready to hand it over the moment the other confessed, determined to become the first male empress of Great Qi.
“Someone I love...” Wen Jin’s eyes shimmered, mist gathering in them. “No! Absolutely not! I care for the whole realm. I have no personal feelings!”
Help! Why is this regent always flirting with him?
· A good-for-nothing emperor shou x a regent seme who only wants to retire (both transmigrate into a book)
· In the original story, the emperor and regent were mutually in love: secretly before the usurpation, and in a painful romance afterward. Now it’s all sweet love!
· Older seme; the two are not related by blood. The setting is entirely fictional and not historically rigorous.
· Updated daily at midnight.

Definition of Yin Zhi: 1. To calm down silently. 2. Still yin virtue. 3. In the dark. Refers to meritorious deeds that only one knows and does not let others know. For example, helping people unconditionally, rescuing people without any intention, making contributions to society, and making achievements for the country are the manifestations of Yin Zhi. Definition of sinister bird of prey: sinister, vicious
The country will not be destroyed by two people... They will not issue memorials.
