[Blurb]

(Paranoid little fox x flashy, devil-may-care heartbreaker)

After Yun Qi died, he couldn't be reincarnated and became a "ghostly terror" so despised that even the King of Hell wanted nothing to do with him.

After getting into a fight in the ghost market, he woke up reborn as Pei Yi, the junior disciple of a sect.

When confronted with someone who knew the truth about the injustice he had suffered in his previous life, Yun Qi stuck to the principle that "a beating will make anyone spill everything"... and promptly got beaten up himself.

What kind of weaklings has the Xuanmen Sect been recruiting these past few years?!

It's not that I'm bad at this! I'm broke, okay? This body can't afford any pills, okay?!

Since he couldn't win by force, he'd have to try a gentler approach.

Friend, ever heard of acting like a green tea? You'll discover that human potential is limitless.

Qi Qi had maxed out the skill "Green Tea's Guide to Self-Cultivation: Hugging Your Sugar Daddy's Leg," but then discovered that this fish was seriously weird. Why would it bite the hook all on its own, even without bait?

Qi Qi: Bro, I'd like us to be sworn brothers, and maybe I'll sneak a few honest words out of you while we're at it.

The Court of Heaven

[Preview]

When he was seventeen, Sixth Prince Xiahou Yao went on an outing, was ambushed, and nearly lost his life.

Yuwen Yuan, son of the Grand Preceptor, rushed to his rescue. He lifted the sedan curtain with his sword and fell in love at first sight.

The Sixth Prince was famous as a sickly beauty, fragile as a willow. Weak-willed and timid, he was shaken by the sudden attack. Clutching his chest as he cried, he asked, "Who... are you?"

The young nobleman, who had been looking down on the world from horseback, gazed at the tearful boy in the sedan. He raised the corner of his mouth and reached out to comfort him. "...Your humble servant is Yuwen Yuan. I arrived late to your rescue. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

At twenty-two, Xiahou Yao overcame every obstacle and was named Crown Prince.

That night, a figure entered the inner palace and pushed open the door to the Crown Prince's residence.

The powerful minister leaned against the doorway, his smile beguiling. "Now that you've achieved your wish and become Crown Prince, shouldn't you... make good on what you promised me?"

The air was tender and intoxicating. Xiahou Yao sat at the edge of the bed and took off his princely robes, revealing a glimpse of his smooth shoulder. His voice was gentle. "Be gentle."

The new Grand Preceptor, a decisive man who never let anyone take advantage of him, found himself rooted to the spot at the sight before him, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily. "..."

Years later, Xiahou Yao successfully ascended the throne with Yuwen Yuan's help.

On the eve of the new emperor's enthronement, Regent Yuwen Yuan, who had held the reins of government for years and risen to the highest rank, returned every military tally and surrendered to the emperor.

The court was stunned, and the common people were abuzz with gossip.

When things are too strange, there's bound to be something behind them. A calm before the storm!

The madman who had once pointed his sword at the previous emperor was now utterly obedient to the new emperor. He gave him anything he wanted and did whatever he asked. He even followed him around all day, coaxing him to eat all kinds of tonics and take care of his health.

At court, the chancellor suspected Grand Preceptor Yuwen was plotting something. After all, "With Yuwen Yuan's talent and ambition, why would he willingly serve as a subject?"

The ministers nodded. "That's a good point."

Yuwen Yuan laughed when he heard this. "A Yao is carrying our child. I only want to make His Majesty smile."
