The Day I Was Trapped Repeating My Assassination of the Traitor

Prince Li Yong was raised by the regent from a young age, yet he had always hated him. The regent, Yan Zheqing, was so stubborn and unyielding that he refused to back down in his struggle for power against the emperor. Everyone at court and beyond reviled him as a traitor.

During the battle for the throne, Li Yong used ruthless methods and stood alone against thousands. He climbed over mountains of corpses and seas of blood to seize the throne, then set about eliminating the remnants of his enemies.

He found a list of rebels in the regent’s study and immediately hosted a grand banquet for his ministers, planning to personally execute everyone named on it.

The first on the list was the regent, the man he hated most.

At the banquet, he plunged his sword through Yan Zheqing’s chest in front of everyone.

Perhaps it was his imagination, but as the regent, usually so sinister, fell into a pool of blood, he seemed to be smiling.

Afterward, Li Yong was suddenly overcome by an unbearable headache and an intense feeling that he was about to die. He eventually passed out.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back on the afternoon of the banquet, several hours before it was due to begin.

And the regent he had just killed with his own sword was now talking to someone not far away.

Li Yong discovered that he and Yan Zheqing had been drawn into an endless time loop. After each banquet, they would die one after another, and time would rewind to that afternoon.

Through countless repetitions, Li Yong discovered that the regent had deliberately written the list of rebels for him. He learned that Yan Zheqing had fought so fiercely for power for his sake. And he found... a marriage contract, sealed away for years and never meant to see the light of day, bearing both their names.

It turned out that Yan Zheqing had secretly loved him for years, and had planned to die at the banquet that night so Li Yong’s future would be smooth.

And Li Yong was not the only one who wanted Yan Zheqing dead that night.

The only way for Li Yong to survive was to prevent the regent’s death.
