The notorious traitor Ming Yuanshu died in one fell swoop, and the whole realm celebrated, delighted that he was gone. Who could have guessed that when the court officials opened their eyes again, they had all been reborn twenty years in the past?
At this point, the traitor was only five years old, a little runt who hadn't even grown all his teeth yet. The officials sharpened their knives, swearing to snuff him out in the cradle.
But when they sneaked into the Duke of Zhenguo's estate, they discovered that the ruthless traitor of the future was curled up in a woodshed, his forehead burning with fever. He could barely get a sentence out without stammering.
The little boy was frail and pitiful. When someone picked him up, he trembled all over and clutched his head tightly, his movements so practiced they broke their hearts. Stammering, he said, "Big brother... don't hit me."
Their hearts twisted painfully, and they fell silent in an instant.

As a legendary hit that took the internet by storm in its day, The Power Over the Court made its great villain, Ming Yuanshu, the most popular character for fan creations.
In the book, Ming Yuanshu was born into poverty and was ruthless and cruel. Relying on his formidable skills, he climbed step by step to the very top, only to be defeated by the crown prince, the protagonist, in the end.
As a hardcore fan, Duan Feiguang finished the whole book and then wrote a thousand-word review, furiously cursing the author for botching the ending.
Then he opened his eyes and found himself transmigrated into the book as the character he hated most: the crown prince.
The crown prince was only twelve years old at this point. He scrambled to his feet and hurried to the Duke of Zhenguo's estate, following his memories.
There he saw the fan-favorite character he'd dreamed about day and night, still just a little boy, dressed in rags and covered in grime. He held his small hands carefully behind his back, afraid Duan Feiguang would find him disgusting.
Duan Feiguang's eyes stung, and he nearly burst into tears.
He carefully took Ming Yuanshu's hand and pulled him into his arms.
"I'll take care of you from now on."
