Can Even the Hated Emperor Have a Love Triangle?

Please support my new novel, When the Scum Gong Becomes Everyone’s Darling

Gong Nanxun is an emperor who wears a mask all day because he is supposedly “disfigured.”

By the time he ascends the throne, the Great Shu kingdom is already in ruins.

Prince Xiao holds power over the court, the Marquis of the Western Campaign commands a massive army, and the Grand Tutor has a mysterious faction backing him.

All of them want to topple Gong Nanxun, the ugly emperor.

Gong Nanxun treads carefully, but still falls into their trap and is poisoned. Through a prophetic dream, he sees his own end: his body rotting away as his life slowly burns out.

With just over three months left to live, he decides to go mad.

Everyone who wants him dead can come die with him!

“Prince Xiao, you keep coming to see Us. Are you eager to offer yourself to Us?”

That day, remembering Gong Nanxun’s rotting face, Prince Xiao felt so disgusted he could have vomited up a hundred flies.

“We have heard that the Grand Tutor has a proud spirit that stands firm against frost and wind, and a body covered in scars from rain and snow. We would very much like to see for Ourselves.”

That day, the Grand Tutor knelt in the cold rain until his knees were raw and bleeding, utterly humiliated.

“The Marquis of the Western Campaign certainly knows how to enjoy himself, with concubines by the dozen and beauty without end. What a pity to waste such lovely people.”

That day, the Marquis of the Western Campaign wept inconsolably while holding the corpse of his favorite male companion. Gong Nanxun mocked him by tucking a bloodstained magnolia into the companion’s hair.

It wasn’t enough for Gong Nanxun to go mad alone. He also raised a loyal dog who was obedient to him but utterly unhinged around everyone else, and together they tormented his enemies to death.

But that was nothing compared to what came next.

Gong Nanxun took off his mask. Beneath it was a delicate, breathtaking face. He had never been disfigured.

When he approached those men under a different identity, he accidentally...

Became the exquisite beauty Prince Xiao couldn’t get out of his mind.

Prince Xiao knelt and slipped a jade ring onto Gong Nanxun’s finger as a token of his love. “If I become emperor one day, you will be my empress.”

He became the rare soulmate with whom the Grand Tutor played music in perfect harmony.

The Grand Tutor’s calm, lake-like eyes rippled at the sight of him. “If you truly have nowhere else to go, you can come to my residence. I would gladly take your hand and never let you go.”

He became the unreachable moonlight the Marquis of the Western Campaign longed for.

The Marquis killed every male companion in his household. “What do I have to do to satisfy you? Do you really want me to give up my life?”

When the poison finally takes effect, Prince Xiao, the Marquis of the Western Campaign, and the Grand Tutor all go mad when they see that familiar face revealed beneath the mask.

The person they were obsessed with and in love with was the very same mad emperor they hated with all their hearts.
