The Villain Helps Me Rule the Galaxy

[Career-driven heroine x love-struck hero]

Career comes first, romance second.

An Yueming was once a hero of the Galactic Federation. But overnight, he sent everything he had fought for to its grave, helping the Galactic Empire rise from the ruins.

The hero of old donned armor and became the Galactic Empire's most notorious executioner: the Empire's blade, the Emperor's attack dog. Yet he lived in pain day after day.

No one knew why he had acted so ruthlessly, except for two people: the Emperor, and his beloved wife, who had died tragically in the Federation's final days.

After a fierce battle, he buried all the rebels who had ambushed him, then lay in the wreckage of a fallen starship, clinging to life and feeling that there was no point in living. Then a familiar figure appeared before him.

Though he had lost most of his eyesight, he recognized her in an instant.

Ever since she could remember, Gu Tongtong had lived on this godforsaken desert planet, but she'd never truly felt that she belonged there. She made a living scavenging in the desert, until one day she found a badly damaged robot.

She took the robot apart and sold its parts for supplies. But when she removed its faceplate, she was stunned to discover that beneath the machine's exterior was not an it, but a man.

Still reeling from the shock, she saw the man's cloudy eyes tear up in response to the bright light. His pale face broke into a faint, bitter smile.

He said, "Long time no see."

After you left, I became a machine. Now that I've seen you again, I want to become human once more.

To save her foolish husband, who had become a walking corpse, Gu Tongtong had to get off her lazy backside. Who could have imagined she'd trample the villains and ascend the throne, ruling the entire galaxy?

From then on, he was only her blade, her attack dog.
