Xie Ying transmigrated into a book.
He became the golden finger that helped the protagonist secure his throne, spending his whole life making wedding clothes for someone else.
He had to live for Qi Yan, right up until he died for him.
Xie Ying: "..."
Human rights! He wanted human rights!

After repeatedly risking life and limb for Qi Yan, Xie Ying was utterly exhausted. "Motivation. Give this character a motivation, please."
Heaven's Will: "You love him."
Xie Ying: "?"
From then on, every night Xie Ying diligently wrote Qi Yan a love letter. Before he died, he covered his face in embarrassment and hid all those mortifying things inside the wall.

Everyone knew that Xie Ying was the sharpest blade in the emperor's hand.
He was cruel, bloodthirsty, and had countless lives on his hands. He was His Majesty's most devoted fan, willing to offer up his life at any time if the most exalted person in the realm so much as nodded.
In contrast to his vengeful, brazenly mad behavior, he had a frail, sickly body and a pair of breathtakingly alluring eyes.

Whenever a perilous and difficult matter came up, the court officials dared not speak. They all fell silent.
Only Xie Ying would step forward, coughing and spitting blood, looking half-dead as he said, "I am willing to ease Your Majesty's burdens."

After Xie Ying died, for some unknown reason, Qi Yan dismissed his entire harem and never married again.
The entire court was moved to tears.
This was true love.

The story should have ended there.
But to Xie Ying's utter astonishment, he was reborn!
This time, Heaven's Will no longer forced him to act.
Xie Ying was overjoyed.
He knew he was free!
This time, he was quitting! Retiring! Giving up! No more being a lovesick fool!
The emperor was heartless. He was no longer willing to sacrifice his life to be someone else's tool.
But that supreme monarch, who seemed incapable of love, actually had tears in his eyes the moment he saw Xie Ying.

In his previous life, Xie Ying thought his grave would be covered in curses after he died.
He never expected Qi Yan to carve the words himself with a knife: My beloved.
In his previous life, Xie Ying had racked his brains and schemed day and night to find the best empress for Qi Yan, worrying until he lost countless hairs.
This time... it seemed he wouldn't have to go to all that trouble.
After spending a wild night with Qi Yan and ending up too weak in the waist to get out of bed, Xie Ying thought that he might have to shoulder the title of bewitching empress who brought ruin to the realm himself from now on.
A seemingly heartless emperor who doesn't realize he's in love, gong x a refined, elegant, slightly irreverent, sickly beauty, shou
