The Tyrant's Special Favor

Content warning: Stop yelling at me! Stop yelling at me! The author is on the second male lead's side too!

Synopsis:

Qi Rao was stunningly beautiful.

In her previous life, her kingdom fell, and she became King You's plaything, meeting a miserable end.

After being reborn, she gained a golden finger and rose to become the supreme "Celestial Master" of Great You. King You grovelled at her feet, the palace attendants worshipped her like a deity, and from the pinnacle of power, she could summon the wind and rain.

But then...

The iron cavalry of Southern Wei stormed into the palace gates, and Great You fell overnight!

"You're the Celestial Master of Great You?"

The young king, clad in golden armor, was arrogant and devilishly charming.

He lifted her chin with the sword in his hand, his eyes cold and dangerous.

Qi Rao: (I heard His Majesty despises sorcery. I heard he attacked Great You ahead of schedule just to kill me, the Celestial Master. I heard...) He's a tyrant, a lunatic!!

Xi Ze, ruler of Southern Wei, had fought tooth and nail for his throne.

To avenge himself, he swore to kill every charlatan under heaven.

When he heard that Great You had a Celestial Master, he grabbed his sword and fought his way there.

He never expected to find a peerlessly beautiful woman before him. She was slender as a willow in the breeze, with every glance full of grace, as beautiful as someone in a painting.

A Celestial Master? More like a femme fatale!

The femme fatale was full of schemes.

Not only did she keep finding reasons for him not to kill her, she also got close to his strategist and even tried to run away with him???

Xi Ze: Try running, and I'll break your legs!

Qi Rao: I just got away from a foolish ruler, and now I've run into a tyrant. What terrible luck~

--Upcoming novel: After My Ex-Husband Ruined Me, I Became Empress--

Prince Xuan was a gifted and ambitious man, learned in the classics.

Yet he was tender and attentive only to her, a delicate woman in frail health.

He Wei was so lost in his tenderness that she couldn't pull herself away. Even as his concubine outside the household, she was perfectly content.

Then she died.

Only then did she accidentally discover how deceitful and ruthless he was.

He had manipulated her fate and made her devote herself to him, all because her true identity was that of a princess who had been lost outside the palace.

Reborn three years earlier,

with a golden finger, wouldn't it be better to build her own career?

In his previous life, he lost the contest for the crown prince's position.

He also lost He Wei, the woman he loved most, his concubine outside the household.

Acting on impulse, he stormed the palace to force his way onto the throne, but failed and took his own life. No one even claimed his body.

After being reborn, he decided to turn over a new leaf. He no longer wanted the illusory throne. He just wanted to treat his precious princess-concubine well and have two children in three years. But then... Before he could tell her what he intended to do differently in this life, she stabbed him and ran off with his strategist?

And that wasn't all...

Three months later, she was nestled against his strategist, Rong Chuan, smiling sweetly.

Chu Yao: Damn it!

All those schemes in my previous life were thought up by that bastard Rong Chuan!

Rong Chuan smiled faintly and protectively drew her behind him. "Your Highness, please don't frighten my wife!"

Chu Yao: Wife? His wife? His wife?

Later, he became the one whose heart was broken.

Reader's Guide:

1. He pursues his wife, but never wins her back.

2. The second male lead takes the main role, so Rong Chuan is the male lead!
