Pei Yan played an emperor simulation game.
Since it was only a game, naturally he had to play a tyrant to get the most out of it.
He neglected the affairs of state and devoted himself to tormenting his ministers for fun.
One day, he made the sixty-year-old Grand Tutor dance in women's clothes.
The next, he ordered a minister to bark like a dog to amuse him.
Then he forcibly married the great general, making him enter the imperial harem and bear him a child.
Before long, the great general launched a rebellion, triggering the game-over ending. Having had his fill of being an emperor, Pei Yan went to bed feeling quite pleased with himself.
Then he closed his eyes and opened them again, only to find himself lying on an unfamiliar bed.
A tall man knelt beside it, glaring at him with a dark expression, as though he wanted to eat him alive. "Your Majesty, I am your servant Xie Jingfeng, here by imperial decree to attend you tonight."
Pei Yan: ...
Well, well, well. Not only had he transmigrated into the game he'd been playing, he'd become the tyrant who was about to be executed by his own subjects!
To stop Xie Jingfeng from rebelling, Pei Yan decided to play the part of a lovesick, besotted fool of an emperor who adored him, treating him as his "favorite consort."
As a result, the court officials discovered that after Xie Jingfeng had been summoned to attend the emperor one night, the suspicious emperor returned his military authority to him the very next day.
Pei Yan: "The great general is utterly loyal to me. How could he harbor treasonous intentions?"
Every time the great general attended him, the emperor indulged him a little more.
Xie Jingfeng even dared to openly contradict the emperor in court and still faced no consequences.
Pei Yan: "Honest advice may be hard to hear! The great general is a man of true character. Someone, reward him!"
The court officials suddenly understood: as long as they became the tyrant's favorite consort, pleased and flattered him, he would grant them anything they asked for.
If the great general could do it, why couldn't they?
And so,
The Minister of Works devoted himself to studying the art of seduction in hopes of securing funding.
The Vice Minister of the Secretariat played a kitten, meowing every day to advance his career.
The sixty-year-old Grand Tutor put on the latest women's fashion and requested an audience to dance for the emperor, hoping to persuade him to accept advice.
Pei Yan: ...
These ministers have gone crazy!!!
Pei Yan decided to retreat to the imperial harem and lie low.
To his surprise, as soon as he returned, he ran into the great general's brooding gaze. "Didn't Your Majesty say that your heart belonged to me alone, and that we would be together for the rest of our lives, just the two of us? Didn't you promise to grant me anything I wanted?"
Pei Yan rubbed his aching head. "O-of course. What does my beloved minister want?"
Xie Jingfeng cornered him beside the bed. "When will Your Majesty have a child with me?"
Pei Yan: "..."
So you were the most unhinged one all along!
