In his past life, he stained the court with blood to fulfill a final wish, placing a "benevolent ruler" on the throne. In return, his entire family was wiped out, not one person spared.
Reborn, Jiang Yanzhou tears up the imperial edict with a cold laugh. "This time, I'll make you kneel and watch the throne change hands."
The useless Seventh Prince, Tang Jingshuo, is the pawn he carefully selected.
The young prisoner cowers in a corner. "Why did you choose me?"
Jiang Yanzhou brushes the bloodstained hair from his forehead. "Because you'll grow fangs sharper than theirs."
After five years of scheming, the sickly merchant of old has become a regent with power over all under heaven.
The Crown Prince presents a death-exemption token and begs for an audience. Jiang Yanzhou crushes his teacup. "Rather than rule through a puppet, wouldn't it be better for me to claim the throne myself?"
The First Prince offers the harem as bait. He chuckles. "Why not just hand me the imperial seal?"
Then the "useless" Seventh Prince breaks into the residence one night, his eyes seething with the same viciousness as Jiang Yanzhou's.
"The throne will be mine, and I'll be yours."
Jiang Yanzhou finally bursts out laughing.
It turns out the wolf cub he raised had grown into a bloodthirsty beast long before he ever realized.

There may be some loopholes, for example, if the maid wearing makeup is found out in the sky jail, she will be dead. But it's not a big problem (
Hmm... Is this a belated review? (Crossed out, it's just a fragmentary thought, it's really fragmentary!!!) I stumbled upon this book by accident, and started reading it after briefly reading the introduction. Let's talk about the plot first. At the beginning, I have to say that I really enjoyed watching it. Xiaojiang is decisive and smart in killing, laying out his own power step by step, building connections, doing business, and then becoming an official in the court. He has the feeling of a manipulative male protagonist! According to my initial estimate, the ending should be that Xiao Jiang's revenge is completed, Xiao Tang ascends to the throne, Xiao Jiang gets along with Xiao Tang as a regent, and cultivates a capable successor. Until finally, Hai Yan, He Qing, and others disarm and return to their fields, and the others also have their own destinations. The results seemed to be similar to expectations but seemed to be a lot worse. The further we get to the back, the more difficult it becomes for the two of us. There are obstacles such as the unpredictable emperor's heart, brothers fighting each other, small groups in the court, foreign enemies and other obstacles. Maybe I've seen too many happy endings, or the halo of the protagonist, so I was stunned when I saw so many supporting characters die at the end, and it took me a while to realize how many of the throne changes since ancient times were bloodless. However, Xiao Tang and Xiao Jiang can't be together because they don't know their intentions. One of them is high in the temple, and the stars are shining over the moon. The other is fighting on the battlefield, life and death are unpredictable. The text of Tang Jiang's oe really makes people feel cold~ The writing style is average, and the structural framework is basically clear, but the overall text feels a bit rushed, and the pace is a bit fast in the later stage. If I write it carefully, it should be more than 400,000 words, and it should be more exciting. Some plots are a bit stiff, but the flaws are not hidden, it's okay! Let's talk about some of the characters that left a deep impression on me. I feel like the characterizations are a bit uninteresting, but that's okay. The protagonist is Pei Yanche (Jiang Yanzhou), a typical reborn and revengeful male protagonist in Jinjiang. He has IQ, emotional intelligence and means. In fact, the author's descriptions in the middle and early stages made me think that this is a single male protagonist without CP. Mr. Xiao Jiang is really full of aggression. In his first rebirth, he tried his best to get revenge, but in the end he got revenge, and almost all the people around him died. Xiao Jiang said that if he had taken his parents to live in seclusion from the beginning, so many things might not have happened, but I don't think so. In a social context where wars for the throne continue and people are displaced, they will always have to be involved again. The cycle of cause and effect is really wonderful. Tang Jingyan had a bad childhood, his father didn't like him, his mother who was kind to him was killed by his father, and she was framed in the end. Exiled to Fengzhou, his freedom is restricted, and he is trapped in the shallows, but I feel that if he can, he doesn't really want to be the emperor. What he wants is freedom and stability? But in the end, he was the only one who could be the emperor. The other princes were either disabled, in poor health, or not the right person and lacked the vision and ambition. No matter who became the emperor, he could only die with 100,000 military power in hand. The emperor would never allow such a threat to appear under his nose. Let's talk about Yue Xi. She is a very good girl. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She can handle things and kill people. She is the sword in Jiang Yanzhou's hand, but I did not expect that she would have feelings for Jiang Yanzhou. She said that it was already doomed when we first met. Maybe it was love at first sight. There have been heroes saving beauties in China since ancient times. It is understandable to say so. As we get to know each other step by step and get to know each other more deeply, maybe this seed will sprout? After all, a person like Xiao Jiang is quite charming. He is capable and treats you well. He also saves you and even changes your destiny. If it were me, I might like him too! Finally, I finally let it go, but I blocked the sword for Xiao Jiang. Unfortunately, Jiang Yuan didn't marry Yue Xi in the end. I thought about how the word "wish" was clearly in his name, but in the end he couldn't even be with the one he loved. Tang Jingyuan, it feels really regrettable. The young prince of Yongning Palace had outstanding ability in leading troops at a young age. He was supposed to be a high-spirited young man. However, due to an accident, the family was labeled with an unnamed name. Both his parents committed suicide and their bodies were hung on the wall for public display. At first, I thought it was the people around the protagonist. Finally, I estimated that the ending would be very good. At least he must be a young general with great military exploits. But in the end, he shaved his hair and became a monk and entered Buddhism. The knife ate away without making a sound... Rumei, fell in love with the person she shouldn't love, is greedy for life and restless, you say she loves it because she betrayed the person she loves for her own selfish desires, you say she doesn't love her, but she looks like a madman and wants to be with Xiao Jiang. At the beginning, Xiao Jiang's little affection led to the murder of her parents and her identity was exposed. If I were Xiao Jiang, I would probably kill her when I found out that she had begun to lose control to avoid future troubles. Tang Jingci was a ruthless man who didn't speak much. He had a few brushes and was really willing to give up. In his previous life, he was able to kill Tang Jiang and those princes and sit in that position. Unfortunately, his vision was too narrow, too extreme and unscrupulous, and his mind was not good enough. Finally, I looked at the emotional lines. I felt that the whole story was quite clear, with very few emotional scenes. It was only later in the story that I got a glimpse of the word love (jdp.), Which I couldn't explain clearly. If you think about it carefully, maybe it was a long-lasting love, or maybe it was the mutual sympathy and common planning of the two reborn people, slowly getting closer to each other, falling in love without knowing it, and not knowing when they fell. The text ends with parting. The two of them are vaguely recognizable, like fog, elusive and a little sad. Extra five years of war, maybe it was the discomfort of being alone together for a long time, or maybe it was the mutual care during the epidemic. After time, my heart became more determined, so letters explaining military affairs were sent out. Every victory was a letter of peace. It was obviously not a love letter, but it seemed so sweet and solemn. Hey~ Xiao Couple ~ Xiao Jiang knows that the king of a country must have no heirs, and he is also the master of great achievements. Tang Jiang is destined not to live together in the court, so there is an extra businessman in the distant town. Fortunately, Xiao Tang finally arranged everything and left the court, otherwise it would be a complete be. I cried to death (biting handkerchief) (sniffing) (wiping tears) Phew, the thought is over. Looking at the column, this seems to be the author's first article? The first article for a newbie is about ancient politics and scheming! I'm really looking forward to the author's transformation. Come on, Dada. I hope your writing career will get better and better! (Spread flowers) (Spread flowers)
Finished? I feel so empty in my heart, so many people died in the end, I really cried to death 😭 😭 😭
"To" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ pour
Phew... You're standing right, you're standing right, I'm scared to death, Mommy-chan 😭
[Afraid] [Afraid] Xiao Jiang picked up Xiao Tang and threw him on the bed? ... Kissing... Asking... Him, he... Doesn't he accept it? I also looked at the introductory view, and he is shorter than Xiao Tang, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, no way
"Man" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ conceal
"Mom" gave the author a big worm~
