[Blurb]

As the number one young master in the capital, Feng Nian'an grew up in luxury. In the corrupt Great Qi dynasty, where graft was rampant, he colluded with treacherous officials, seeking nothing but his own wealth and glory.

He thought he was the only clear-eyed person in the world.

That is, until Zhongli Jin, heir to the Prince of Changping, arrived in the capital.

He investigated wrongful convictions, rescued ordinary people, impeached corrupt officials, and exposed petty villains...

He just happened to oppose Feng Nian'an at every turn.

Feng Nian'an tried to stop him, yet couldn't help admiring him.

When he learned that Zhongli Jin had fallen into someone else's trap, he even risked committing treason by deceiving the emperor to save him.

Zhongli Jin saw through everything. "You don't actually want to rot alongside Great Qi. So why are you stopping me?"

Feng Nian'an fell silent. "My Feng family has put down roots in the capital. One wrong step, and we'll be doomed beyond redemption. From now on, I won't stop you from restoring the state, and you won't stop me from keeping my family safe."

But Great Qi was already riddled with wounds and beyond saving. Zhongli Jin's interference only made it harder for the dynasty to keep going.

Loyal officials died horrific deaths, and censors risked their lives to remonstrate.

At the mass graveyard, there were never enough hands to bury the dead!

Tormented by the ghosts of the wronged in his dreams, Feng Nian'an had no choice but to open his eyes.

Zhongli Jin: "What do you think now?"

Feng Nian'an, with nowhere left to turn: "Let's rebel."

Zhongli Jin: "Well said. Let's get to it."

The road to rebellion was long. One of them made plans, while the other cleared every obstacle in their way. They worked together flawlessly.

Late one quiet night, Zhongli Jin looked at Feng Nian'an, exhausted and collapsed on the bed, and was overcome with heartache.

I always feel like I haven't treated you well enough. Without me, perhaps you really could have lived this life in comfort, instead of joining me on this road of no return.

Feng Nian'an: "Then conquer the realm and give it to me as an apology. Stop being so sentimental!"

The main story isn't this serious. It's about two drama queens outdoing each other as they deceive people and scheme to seize the throne.

[Upcoming Novel Blurb] Enter the Entertainment Industry with My Archrival

Ye Shangqing, son of the Marquis of Dingyuan, was a notorious wastrel in the Great Jing dynasty: extravagant, debauched, and good for nothing.

One day, he and his archrival transmigrated together.

But he became a much-maligned, little-known celebrity, while his archrival became a top-tier star!

His family was more powerful, his connections were better, and he was more talented at his job!

Manager: "You're already infamous, so want to get even more famous? Then ride Xiao Jue's coattails! Pair up with him as a CP!"

Ye Shangqing: "What if he won't agree?"

Manager: "Then force your way in!"

Ye Shangqing: "Great idea. I'll do it right away!"

Pair up with him, ride his coattails, and use him to climb to the top!

So Ye Shangqing teamed up with Xiao Jue on variety shows, subtly hinted at their schedules on Weibo, and deliberately staged intimate candid shots on set...

He fed their CP fans a steady stream of content.

But then he realized Xiao Jue's attitude seemed to be getting a little strange.

Cornered by a certain someone, Ye Shangqing was terrified:

I only wanted to ride your coattails. Why are you taking this seriously?!
