Powerful Ministers Are Forbidden from Using Their Charms

On the first day after transmigrating, Pei Mingxi sat in prison as a jailer handed him a dagger and told him to kill himself.

Pei Mingxi wondered what he'd done to deserve such a terrible fate, and spent seven days agonizing over it. As death approached, all his memories surfaced...

It turned out he was a powerful court official who'd used his good looks to wreak havoc at court, egged on the young emperor to oppose the regent, and ended up in this sorry state.

Not only that, he'd also fawned on the empress dowager and relentlessly pursued the general he'd secretly loved, ruining his reputation.

Blood stained his white robe, and the memory came to an abrupt end.

Pei Mingxi jolted awake on a soft couch, back in time to the day before he was going to advise the young emperor to depose the regent.

"Prepare a carriage at once!"

"Are you going to the general's residence, my lord?"

Pei Mingxi's eyes nearly rolled back. He was about to die, so why would he go see his unrequited love? He was going to advise the emperor!
