[Blurb]

Ye Jihuai was reborn. In his previous life, he had been a joke.

The first top scorer in the Great Wei dynasty to achieve the highest marks in all three examinations, he was cursed by millions as a traitor. The youngest tutor to the crown prince, he was sentenced to death by the very student he'd taught.

In this life, he would no longer act on impulse. He wanted only the highest power in the dynasty.

Ye Jihuai was reborn at the time he was heading out with the army to quell a rebellion in Miaojiang.

The Miaojiang prince, Lu Shixun, had infiltrated the army and was arrested as an assassin.

Ye Jihuai knew the Miaojiang boy had ties to the Great Wei royal family, so he took the boy by the hand and brought him back to Great Wei.

After returning to the capital, Ye Jihuai became the crown prince's tutor, just as he had in his previous life.

-- The young man from Miaojiang thought he was about to be murdered, but that Wei traitor took a fatal blow for him?

-- The young crown prince had heard that his new tutor was vicious and terrifying, but when he looked up and saw him, his face flushed?

The two little ones began competing for Ye Jihuai's attention. They were a bit of a handful, but Ye Jihuai thought that for the sake of a clear court and secure borders, he could indulge them for now.

From then on, Ye Jihuai wielded enormous influence at court and rose rapidly through the ranks.

Yet no one knew what kind of sleeping kingdom-toppler he kept at home.

Later, fearing Lu Shixun's identity would be exposed, Ye Jihuai sent him back to Miaojiang.

But Lu Shixun didn't understand Ye Jihuai's intentions. Seeing the beauties flocking around him, his eyes reddened, and he swore through clenched teeth: One day, this man will belong to me alone.

Lu Shixun returned to Miaojiang and reclaimed the throne. Three years later, he abducted Ye Jihuai again.

Everyone said the new king of Miaojiang was savage and cruel. They assumed the moans heard each night from the royal bedchamber meant the king was tormenting the detestable man from Wei.

They didn't know that their king was the one shackled in chains, while the jade-skinned nobleman held his reins and did as he pleased.

Later, Ye Jihuai brought Lu Shixun back to Great Wei and established him as the new emperor.

After court, the new emperor trapped the newly promoted Lord Ye against the dragon throne.

Lu Shixun's voice was apologetic, but his hand was brazen and unrestrained as it slipped inside Ye Jihuai's scarlet peacock robe. He bit Ye Jihuai's pale, flushed earlobe and whispered seductively, "I'm sorry, I hurt my Chief Minister again."

Little scene:

When Ye Jihuai first arrived at the Miaojiang imperial bedchamber.

The Miaojiang king leaned against the bed, gazing down at the lofty nobleman, whose jade-like body was bound by cruel iron chains. The rusty links had reddened the fabric, beneath which lay smooth, snowy skin that no one should dare profane. Unfathomable desire and greed swirled in the king's eyes.

Everyone else thought the king wanted him dead. Only Lu Shixun knew how badly he wanted to devour him whole and mark his body with teeth marks that belonged to him alone.

[Bottom] Lazy, refined, top scorer, delicate scholar, master strategist, everyone is a pawn

[Top] Savage, crude, utterly unscrupulous, takes whatever he wants, jealous to the extreme

[Reader's Guide] Happy ending

1. In this life, the leads do not bear the burden of enmity between their countries or families, and the story isn't angsty.

2. The romance is the main focus. The plot is about a reborn, universally adored protagonist who rises in power and gets revenge on scoundrels. There are many strong, one-sided familial and friendship bonds.

3. Later on, the top becomes an obsessive, lovesick madman who both loves and resents the bottom, and must work hard to win him back.

[Note] The leads are not related by blood or legally. They simply met under these circumstances, which are explained in the first three chapters.

[Update Schedule] New chapters are posted at 11 a.m. There are five updates a week, with Thursdays and Sundays off. I'll post a notice if anything comes up.

The new novel in my series, The Prince Is So Fierce, Can't You Hold Out One More Time? (Rebirth), formerly titled The Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years: a teasing bottom x a top who can't resist being teased

In his previous life, it was only after his death, when he saw Chu Yunkong's madness and felt the man's fingers digging into his flesh, that Yu Qiu finally understood: the person who had deliberately hurt him all along had loved him to the bone.

*Yu Qiu took his mother's surname. His maternal grandfather was once the powerful Chief Minister of the Grand Secretariat, while his father was a poor scholar who married into the Yu family. He grew up studying literature and martial arts in the royal palace, where he met Gao Kuo, the late emperor's illegitimate son.

But Gao Kuo coveted the throne and joined forces with his biological father. He used Yu Qiu to frame his maternal grandfather for treason and tricked him into stealing Chu Yunkong's military seal.

In his previous life, Yu Qiu paid the price for his foolishness. Three years in the Eastern Depot left him wishing he were dead.

And after he became an invalid in his previous life, the most comfortable days he ever had were spent in the estate of Prince An, Chu Yunkong, the man he hated most.

*Chu Yunkong had also been reborn, and he couldn't understand why Yu Qiu was always so kind to him in this life. At last, unable to stand it anymore, he pinned Yu Qiu beneath him. "You asked for this."

Yu Qiu looked at Chu Yunkong's reddened eyes and the look in them, as if he wanted to swallow him whole, and suddenly began to regret it.

He didn't want to give him this chance anymore.
