The General Rules, and I Suffer Miserably

[Spoiled, carefree prince top × Obsessive, restrained general bottom] Xie Wan transmigrated into a stallion novel as a disposable villain. The original character, who shared his name, was the only relative of the Great Wei emperor: the most pampered and most brazen little prince in the realm. With a pretty face and the emperor’s favor to shield him, the original character was arrogant and wicked. Whenever he saw someone beautiful, man or woman, he would simply have them dragged back to his mansion. Any official family in Great Wei with even a little influence kept their sons and daughters hidden, afraid the prince would set his sights on them and snatch them away. Then one day, while out on the street, the original character happened to see the book’s protagonist, Shen Linyuan, crown prince of a neighboring kingdom. So a week later, Great Wei sent its troops across the border. To sue for peace, Shen Linyuan was bound hand and foot and delivered through the back gate of the prince’s mansion in the middle of the night. Shen Linyuan endured every humiliation at the original character’s hands. At the end of the book, after bearing his humiliation and destroying Great Wei, the first thing he did was have the original character hacked to pieces and hang his corpse from the city gate for three days. When Xie Wan transmigrated, he was lounging lazily in a carved sandalwood chair, legs crossed. His peony-patterned brocade robe blazed like fire, his gold-embroidered deerskin boots shone like lacquer, and he had a wine cup hooked between his fingers, his eyes tilted slightly as the whip cracked in his ears. When he finally made out the man hanging in the hall below, beaten until his flesh was a bloody mess, his hand trembled and wine soaked his clothes. To avoid ending up as a corpse displayed at the city gate, Xie Wan decided to keep his distance from Shen Linyuan. To convince Shen Linyuan that he had no improper designs on him, Xie Wan spent his days and nights at the pleasure houses. Whenever he met Shen Linyuan, he made sure to have a beauty draped over each arm. On the day his fated ending was supposed to arrive, Xie Wan followed his plan and fled ahead of time, taking refuge in a remote little kingdom. Unfortunately, he had underestimated the depth of Shen Linyuan’s hatred. To get his revenge, Shen Linyuan turned the whole world upside down, determined to drag Xie Wan out of hiding and torture him. At last, Xie Wan was brought back to the imperial capital in a wretched state and forced to kneel at Shen Linyuan’s feet. He closed his eyes, waiting to die, but the stern-faced man before him pointed his sword at the throne: “Sit on it.” Xie Wan: ? The new ruler of Great Wei was frail and often ill. Yet although there were many around him with treacherous ambitions, no one dared to challenge his authority. The reason was simple: he had an invincible blade at his side. Little did anyone know that the emperor, who diligently served his country and people by day, lay on the dragon bed at night with his eyes tightly shut and his breathing ragged. The handsome general, famed for his loyalty and countless military accomplishments, gripped the emperor’s throat with one hand and sneered. “In the past, Your Majesty spent every night at the pleasure houses and still had plenty of energy the next day.” “If Your Majesty can’t satisfy me tonight, I won’t let it go.” 1.

Good news: He wasn’t dead. He’d transmigrated into the crown prince’s bodyguard. Bad news: When he woke up, his clothes were in disarray and he was climbing onto the crown prince’s bed, butt in the air. He had lost all his immortal powers, and vengeful spirits ran rampant through the Eastern Palace. The poor crown prince was not only delicate and sickly, but also plagued by evil spirits. As a cultivator, Xie Zhuchen believed it was his duty to protect a frail mortal. The crown prince seemed touched. He said softly, “I hate people who lie.” “You said you’d protect me forever… You’d better keep your word.” But later… why did someone tell him the crown prince was a murderous lunatic? Xie Zhuchen didn’t believe it. The crown prince was so pitiful. How could he be mad? And kill people? Impossible. Until the crown prince, so frail that he blushed whenever he accidentally met Xie Zhuchen’s eyes Kicked over his shrine and abducted him back to the palace in front of all his followers. Xie Zhuchen: ! When Shen Zhuoyu was young, he received a prophetic warning. From then on, everyone who dared get close to him met the same fate: they either died or went mad. Everyone feared him. They trembled at the sight of him. After six bodyguards died in a row, the seventh turned out to be a fake Daoist who did nothing but put on a show. He wasn’t much to look at, either, and he even dared to covet Shen Zhuoyu. So Shen Zhuoyu casually killed him. But the fake Daoist didn’t die. When he woke up, he acted completely differently and solemnly promised to protect Shen Zhuoyu. At first, Shen Zhuoyu paid him no mind. Later, he decided to keep the bodyguard by his side forever. Then the demon Daoist ran away. When they met again, the man had silver hair and violet eyes. Seated high on a divine altar and worshipped by the people, he glanced at Shen Zhuoyu with cool detachment and pretended not to know him. So Shen Zhuoyu ripped apart that pristine silver robe in front of everyone and dragged the banished immortal down from his altar. He tapped the beautiful man’s cheek with the bloodied tip of his sword and asked with a smile, “Master, I’ve been looking for you for so long. How can you pretend you don’t know me?” Theme: Strive for what you want, and be free
