The Little Fainthearted Emperor

[Content warning: dog training, romantic rivalry, one-versus-many, pampered top, younger top, invincible, utterly unhinged, pathological, arrogant, self-destructive, disabled, starved for love, sensitive tyrant boy top. The top is missing the tip of his right ring finger.]

Ning Yi was destined to go down in history, infamous for all eternity as a foolish ruler.

Cruel and bloodthirsty, mad beyond compare.

He should have died.

Feared by thousands, secretly adored by thousands: a little mad top for everyone to cherish.

A harem-style story, perhaps featuring a strong, patient general who is also his adoptive father; a powerful, ambitious, sinister regent; loyal, personality-less twin shadow guards; a cool, refined prime minister; and a reckless, unruly young general, among others. An arrogant, unhinged boy top, romantic rivalry, and a beloved-by-all protagonist.
