The Best Actor Qiu Moting died unexpectedly and transmigrated into The Treacherous Minister, becoming Qiu Moting, the villainous, evil chancellor who did every wicked thing imaginable.
In the original story, Qiu Moting not only killed the protagonist top, the regent who cared for the realm, and the young emperor, successfully usurping the throne, but also inherited two generations of harems and brought the black-hearted protagonist bottom, the imperial concubine, and the beautiful, vicious male empress dowager to his bed, where he tormented them.
The title makes the ending obvious: Qiu Moting is eventually torn apart by chariots, to the cheers of the whole nation.
When he arrived, Qiu Moting was at the peak of his power. He had just spread rumors that the imperial concubine and the regent were in love, sowing suspicion between them and the young emperor. He was also plotting to destroy the families of the concubine and male empress dowager, stripping the young emperor of his most powerful supporters.
[System: Survive in this world to be reborn.]
Qiu Moting calmly replied: Got it. Keep a low profile, develop steadily, and I'll win!
But in the next second:
[System: Sweetie, the protagonist top, Xie Jingxian, has turned dark and begun his path of reborn revenge! Current darkening level: 200%! Good luck!]
Qiu Moting wiped his sweat. "...No big deal. Let's see if my acting can clear my name and turn this situation around!"
[System: Wait, the protagonist bottom, the young emperor, and the male empress dowager have also been reborn and turned dark!]
Qiu Moting stumbled. "..."
Please just send me straight to reincarnation. Thanks.
To stay alive, Qiu Moting pulled himself together.
He decided to start by changing his appearance, then win everyone over one by one and clear his name with love!
Our slogan: "Keep groveling, and you'll get everything in the end!"
He sent the regent delicacies and fine foods, gold and jewels, luxurious clothes, and handmade curios. He even put on song-and-dance performances for him...
Qiu Moting thought: With his darkening level that high, he'll definitely toss out whatever I send. I might as well mass-produce the gifts.
So, to save time and work in the early stages, he used the same approach on the other three as well.
He planned to wait for their darkening levels to drop before tailoring his strategy to each person.
But then...
At a banquet,
the regent, the young emperor, the male empress dowager, and the imperial concubine dazzled everyone.
They were...
Wearing the same clothes, sporting "one-of-a-kind" jade pendants, and holding identical fans. Even the patterns on their boots were exactly the same...
The officials whispered among themselves. In a corner, Qiu Moting felt snow falling in his heart.
[System: Sweetie, all four people's darkening levels have exceeded the limit and can't be measured as percentages. Be ready to be reincarnated at any moment.]
Just then, the four people who couldn't tolerate the slightest offense all turned to look at him.
The young emperor: "My beloved subject, didn't you say I was the only person you cherished?"
The male empress dowager: "Was I not enough for you?"
The protagonist bottom, the imperial concubine: "Was my love all for nothing after all?"
The regent's gaze was unfathomable. "When people want to stay alive, they choose one person. You're too greedy. How should I punish you?"
Qiu Moting: "..." Don't ask me. I'm already dead.
The assembled officials: ...So, who does that beauty really love?
Xie Jingxian was reborn.
He also gained a secret: he could hear the innermost thoughts of the person he hated most, Qiu Moting.
