Overnight, his closest family were murdered, and he was poisoned with a strange toxin. Li Ruoshui, the Sword Saint, became the supposed culprit who had colluded with the Demonic Cult to kill his brother and father.
Having barely survived, Li Ruoshui lost his inner power and took the assumed name Li Zhaoxi, dragging his half-crippled body through a miserable existence.
After personally stabbing Li Ruoshui and sending him off a cliff, Ji Wuchang was haunted by nightmares every night. In the end, he chose to leap from the cliff in the same way as Li Ruoshui, bringing his life to an end.
When he woke again, the person before him was the one he'd thought of day and night!
Ji Wuchang's face was deathly pale as he looked innocently at Li Ruoshui. “Brother, do you know me? I... I don't seem to remember anything.”

With Ji Wuchang's blood, Li Ruoshui recovered sixty percent of his power. The two joined forces and entered the martial world to investigate the truth about what had happened.
From the martial world to the imperial court, more and more people were implicated in the events of the past. Everyone from those around him to his deceased family members had been involved.
Li Ruoshui was left bewildered, confused, and utterly heartbroken.
At the start of the new year, firecrackers rang outside and fireworks lit up the night sky. In a cave illuminated by the flames, Ji Wuchang pulled him into his arms, the steady thump of his heartbeat beside Li Ruoshui's ear.
“Brother, whether you go to heaven or hell, through a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, wherever you go, Wuchang will follow.”
“So you still have me.”
That's right. I still have you.

Coming soon: How the Villain of a Political Intrigue Novel Can Save Himself, transmigrate into a book
One day, Sang Ru transmigrated into a political intrigue novel as the villain, Pei Huannian, a former prince whose attempt to restore his dynasty had failed. Even five years later, he still remembered Pei Huannian's fate vividly: being torn apart by five horses.
To scrape by in this world and find a way back, Sang Ru's first thought was to find a chance to leave. But no matter how much he tried to avoid it, some mysterious force always pulled him back and made him follow the story's key plot points.
So Sang Ru decided to change his strategy and cling to the male lead, Liang Qiancang, becoming his “grandson.”
Of course, “grandson” here means something very different from what it usually does.
When the emperor sent Liang Qiancang to the freezing borderlands, he sent Pei Huannian's advisers elsewhere and went with Liang Qiancang himself, helping him plan how to repel the Hu people who repeatedly raided the border. When Liang Qiancang was framed by the crown prince and thrown in prison, he used his own connections to investigate and clear Liang Qiancang's name. When Liang Qiancang had little influence at court, he helped him secretly build up his power, all the way until he rose to a position second only to the emperor.
Sang Ru stayed by Liang Qiancang's side as he went from an ignored seventeen-year-old prince to a twenty-four-year-old emperor. Knowing that the tallest tree catches the wind, Sang Ru made himself scarce on the day Liang Qiancang ascended the throne.
But just when he thought he had hidden himself perfectly, a wanted poster bearing his likeness appeared.
Suddenly, his sunflower seeds didn't taste so good.
Sang Ru: Am I doomed to be torn apart by five horses after all?
Liang Qiancang died in the second year after ascending the throne. Before he died, Pei Huannian stabbed him with a sword coated in an incurable poison. Reborn, he was determined to kill Liang Qiancang at their coming-of-age banquet, where they first met, and nip the threat in the bud.
But who could have guessed that Pei Huannian, whom he had pushed into the water, would come back up seeming like a different person? Instead of constantly opposing him as in his previous life, he clung to him day after day, following him everywhere and refusing to be shaken off.
Looking at Pei Huannian beside him, his foxlike eyes narrowed and his expression completely harmless, Liang Qiancang furrowed his brow.
What trick is he up to now?
But as that delicate flower saved him from danger again and again, Liang Qiancang's hatred for Pei Huannian gradually faded, replaced by a wildly growing possessiveness. He wanted to keep him locked at his side every moment of every day.
On the day of his enthronement, Liang Qiancang looked down at the assembled court officials, but Pei Huannian was nowhere to be seen. Beneath his imperial robes, his hands clenched until his knuckles cracked.
Liang Qiancang gritted his teeth. “Pei Huannian, I'll hunt you down, even if I have to search to the ends of the earth!”
Half asleep in the middle of the night, Sang Ru felt a faint tickle at the side of his neck. He opened his eyes, and his heart nearly leapt out of his throat! Liang Qiancang, who should have been in the imperial palace, was lying beside him. His cold, sharp gaze was like a curved blade, his eyes fixed on Sang Ru like a hawk watching its prey.
Liang Qiancang: “Military strategist Pei, you slept with me and now you want to run?”
Sang Ru: “I... I was drunk, and it was a moment of...”
Before he could finish, Liang Qiancang pinned both his hands with one hand, leaving him unable to move. That handsome face suddenly loomed closer, burying itself against Sang Ru's neck.
Sang Ru let out a pained whimper. “How does your minister taste? Did Your Highness enjoy biting him?”
Liang Qiancang raised his eyes. “Are you going to run again?”
Sang Ru forced a smile. “No, I'm not.” As if!
He runs, the other chases, and neither of them can escape.

Great. Han Zheng and the Emperor. Not bad. 💪 💪 💪
After reading it, I would like to briefly describe my feelings after reading it. Overall, I think it's pretty good. I don't know how to express the advantages, so I'll just talk about the others. The first one is that sometimes the wrong name makes me confused for a moment, which affects the reading experience to a certain extent. The second one is that I originally wanted to read the introduction of Li Ruoshui as a sword master, and I thought Because there will be more fights, the kind that is more capable and will have some battle damage after the fight. Even if he only recovers 60% of his power, he actually seems to be more weak and can't even use his internal power. His combat power seems to be really useful only for a while when fighting the boss, which makes me feel a little disappointed. Disappointment; the third one is that I didn't expect the antidote to be the earring. I thought it would be hidden in the painting, but I fell and dropped the earring. It was really unexpected, but it still made me feel weird (just a personal feeling); the fourth one was that I thought the little emperor was a key person. Things are very important, but the result gave me the feeling that he was like a treasure hunter who fainted and woke up to get the jade seal. The same happened to the prime minister. I thought they were very important, but in the end I found out that they were just like that. Then it also made me feel that the ending was a bit rushed, with the decisive battle and the ending. Whisper bb, I don't know how to write, it's just my few thoughts on reading the article. It's the first time I've posted such a long one, and I'd like to thank you for sending the message with love.
With my brain, I can't see the foreshadowing at all. . .
Oops, looking at the title, I thought it was Li Chaoxi wearing women's clothing. Hehe
Wait, is it Butler Wang or Butler Li, or are there two butlers in the same mansion?
Congratulations on the ending. I hope the extra episode can give Han Zheng a good ending. It's better to have a partner. Aunt Wan Ru is also doing well. I hope they have a good ending 💪 💪 💪
