I Am Terrified, Your Majesty

Chu Wenfeng accidentally transmigrated into the protagonist bottom of an ancient-style, tragic romance between a ruler and his subject.

The protagonist bottom was born into a family of distinguished generals and grew up alongside the emperor. But his entire family was slaughtered because of the imperial court's suspicions, leaving him as the family's sole surviving heir. Protected by a trusted confidant, he returned alone to the army his father and brothers had built from the ground up.

According to the plot, he would soon be unable to let go of the man he loved and would voluntarily return to the capital, surrender his military authority, and drink poisoned wine, becoming the emperor's most tragic and unforgettable lost love.

Chu Wenfeng sat in the military tent, lost in thought.

The bad news: The emperor still hadn't let him go, and the army didn't respect this lovesick young lord. His life was in danger at any moment.

The good news: His most reliable best friend had transmigrated here with him.

To survive in this thrilling and dangerous era, the two hit it off and decided to first earn the army's trust, then reclaim wasteland and grow crops, open trade routes... They turned a remote border town into the foremost economic hub in the surrounding region.

At long last, they had settled in, and the time for the plot to unfold had arrived.

Chu Wenfeng still hadn't voluntarily surrendered his military authority. Heartbroken, the emperor could only send an old eunuch all the way there to deal with him.

The old eunuch stood before Chu Wenfeng, holding poisoned wine and a noose with an arrogant air. "Surely you understand the principle that a subject must die when his ruler demands it. General, choose."

Chu Wenfeng dropped to his knees in fear. "Your humble servant is truly terrified. I must ask my deputy general first."

He asked his best friend, "How are our forces?"

His friend replied, "A hundred thousand troops, strong and well-equipped."

Chu Wenfeng stood up.

He asked again, "How are our supplies?"

His friend replied, "We can just about provide for ourselves."

Chu Wenfeng sat back down in the seat of honor.

Suddenly enlightened, he looked at the eunuch bearing the imperial decree. "Eunuch, did you just say that I am the emperor's subject?"

The old eunuch stared at him, shocked and furious. "How dare you!"

Chu Wenfeng considered this for a moment, then sighed. "The late emperor... was still quite the fool."

"What are you waiting for? Seize him for Us!"

1. The love interest is his most reliable best friend. Their romance is purely sweet, with no angst.

2. The protagonist unifies the realm later on. His golden finger may be a little overpowered, but don't worry, just enjoy the power trip.

3. Entirely fictional setting, with an imagination that takes flight.
