Tyrant Yun Qi has a handsome face but a heart as cruel as a snake's. To monopolize power, he drenches the court in blood and leaves the people in misery, until the beautiful general Jiang Chen, whom he personally promoted, kills him.
But Yun Qi discovers that he hasn't died. Instead, he's returned to three years earlier, when he had just begun throwing the court into chaos. To rewrite history, Yun Qi decides to kill Jiang Chen first and eliminate the threat.
Before he can put his revenge plan into action, a eunuch drags him off the imperial bed and forces him to kneel. Yun Qi is about to fly into a rage when Jiang Chen, who was supposed to be forced to spend the night with him, walks into the bedchamber dressed in imperial robes.
How dare a traitor lay claim to my imperial robes? Yun Qi roars, "Take them off!"
Then he is stripped bare and thrown onto the bed.
Yun Qi: "Touch me and you're dead!"
Jiang Chen plants a foot on Yun Qi's chest. "Back then, you killed the person I loved and trampled on my devotion to my country. Since you can't die, you'll just have to taste the humiliation I went through."
*
Jiang Chen was born into a poor family. When Yun Qi named him Martial Arts Champion, he repaid the emperor's favor with outstanding military service. But because he was close to the Regent's son, he aroused suspicion and was tricked by Yun Qi into the palace, where he became the emperor's plaything. Jiang Chen endured the humiliation and finally killed the tyrant, only for the two of them to switch identities and return to three years earlier.
Jiang Chen ascends the throne and works hard to govern, but the country only falls into greater disorder.
The loyal ministers he once trusted all want him dead.
Yun Qi, on the other hand, becomes the only one who can help him resolve each crisis.
Setting aside their past-life prejudices, Jiang Chen gradually becomes drawn to Yun Qi's talent for governance. He unlocks the chains keeping Yun Qi confined. But years of tormenting each other have worn away the affection Yun Qi once felt for him.
In this life, Jiang Chen will repay him many times over for all he has suffered.
PS: The top and bottom switch identities, but not bodies. In their previous life, the bottom forced himself on the top.
