Reborn as a Treacherous Minister

Cheng Yi's previous life was a joke.

He spent ten years giving everything he had to put a venomous snake on the throne. In return, his entire family, loyal to the last, died horribly, and he was branded a traitor who colluded with the enemy, a treacherous minister and villain.

Only as he lay dying did he realize he'd poured his sincere heart into a dog. The person he'd treasured for ten years and his closest friend stood shoulder to shoulder as they pierced his heart. Two ungrateful wretches.

Cheng Yi died with his eyes open.

When he opened them again, he was back ten years in the past.

He was a young general, just returned victorious, full of ambition.

The emperor had arranged his marriage to the eldest son of the Minister of Revenue, but he had resisted the match to the death for that person's sake.

The old Duke had beaten him until his skin split, and the whole capital was waiting to see him defy the imperial decree and break off the engagement.

Cheng Yi turned around and went to propose with a generous betrothal gift.

What do you mean, he doesn't want to?

He wants to marry. He wants to marry Young Master Shen.

As for those two ungrateful wretches, without him, they'd be trampled into the mud and left to rot in a ditch.

He would collect every debt from his previous life, one by one.

Everyone in the capital knew Shen Yichen was universally disliked.

They called him sinister, vicious, capricious, and spiteful, an ungrateful wretch the Minister of Revenue's household could never tame.

His reputation was in tatters. He was the only young master in the entire capital whom no one wanted to marry.

Yet one day, an imperial decree matched him with a spirited young general.

The whole city was in an uproar. Everyone was waiting to laugh when the engagement was broken off.

He was waiting, too.

Instead, the young general cornered him against a wall. In those dark eyes, he saw a depth of tenderness and curiosity he couldn't understand.

Everyone knew the general didn't want to marry him, but the young general said, "I do."

The world said he wasn't worthy, but the young general said, "We're a perfect match."

Shen Yichen was baffled. Why wasn't the story going the way it was supposed to?

What happened to the white moonlight?

Why... why was he being spoiled instead?
