After Faking My Death, the Tyrant Reformed for Me

Because the tyrant heroine's story couldn't pass censorship, the stepmother author was forced to transmigrate into a book, hoping to redeem the darkened empress who had been betrayed time and again and was slowly becoming twisted.

To that end, she pretended to be compassionate and taught Hua Mu right from wrong, good from evil.

She jumped from a high platform for her, tore a scumbag to pieces with her bare hands, married into an enemy nation for peace, and stayed by her side as she climbed out of the mire and reclaimed the throne.

She offered up her heart, hoping to make up for all the malice she had poured into her words.

Lu Wan thought she had warmed that block of ice.

Until her father was hanged on the walls of Lonely Moon City, accused of treason and colluding with the enemy.

"Sister, you're so easy to fool." Amid the bloodshed, Hua Mu kissed her, laughing with frenzied mockery. "You taught me how to defeat an enemy without fighting."

Hua Mu was reborn at max level, carrying memories of her tragic death in her previous life.

When the poisonous woman who had once seemed kind on the surface but harbored a snake's heart suddenly changed and clumsily tried to win her over, she found it amusing.

She played the obedient prey, using love as bait to force Lu Wan to reveal the limits of her hypocrisy.

She thought she was the master strategist, always in control, while Lu Wan was merely a timid caged bird, clinging to life in the palm of her hand.

Until she stormed Lonely Moon City and ordered the massacre.

That woman, full of lies and afraid of pain, resolutely raised her sword and took her own life before the troops, hoping to make Hua Mu feel compassion.

Perhaps she had told so many lies that even she had begun to lose sight of the truth.

In that instant, the pain in her heart was beyond measure.

·

After Lu Wan faked her death, Hua Mu turned over a new leaf and became a wise ruler, pure of heart and free of desire.

So Lu Wan returned to her old trade, writing unofficial histories of the empress.

Until one day, she was lured away on an expensive "research trip."

The moment she opened the door, the ghostlike empress pinned her firmly against the wall. Her eyes were red at the corners, and with trembling hands, she clasped a golden chain around Lu Wan's ankle.

"You've taken such an interest in the affairs of my inner palace, Sister. Naturally, I assumed you wanted to join me."

Lu Wan: Just play along with her, and maybe it'll pass censorship... But anything below the neck won't pass either, you little monster!
