How to Slack Off by the Tyrant's Side

[Feudal, scheming, domineering, obsessive emperor top x Socialist, laid-back, sickly villain bottom]

[Both have lost their memories]

Pei Buyan, a model 21st-century citizen who abides by the law, prides himself on his sharp anti-scam instincts and steadfast socialist beliefs.

But transmigration happens to him anyway.

And if he's going to transmigrate, he might as well end up as the barbarian concubine of a mad prince.

Worse still, his original identity is questionable. He might be a spy from an enemy nation.

Everyone says Prince Yan, Xiao Zhuo, is a bloodthirsty, violent fool who spends his days chasing pleasure.

The first time they meet, Xiao Zhuo kills several people right in front of him. Blood sprays across Pei Buyan's face, hot enough to make him tremble.

The next moment, Xiao Zhuo drags him onto the bed and pins him beneath his towering frame, leaving him nowhere to escape.

The next morning, Pei Buyan, aching all over: ...He hasn't shown himself to be a fool, but he's definitely insane.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Pei Buyan isn't the sort to fret over things. All he wants is to be a quiet little slacker.

Xiao Zhuo asked to marry Pei Buyan only because he was a foreigner and a man. By taking him as his consort, Xiao Zhuo could make his father, the emperor, and the other princes lower their guard.

So he left Pei Buyan in the residence, paying him no attention.

Until the day he first stepped into Pei Buyan's courtyard and met the mad little liar who babbled nonsense.

At first, Xiao Zhuo only found him amusing, and enjoyed teasing him.

But later,

when he saw Pei Buyan laughing and chatting with someone else, he wanted to lock him in a room forever.

When he heard Pei Buyan speak someone else's name, he wanted to kill them all.

But Xiao Zhuo only let himself imagine it. Instead, he kept demanding Pei Buyan again and again, determined to make him cry and say only his name.

Pei Buyan was close to those people, so Xiao Zhuo was willing to put on shackles for his sake, caging the madness in his heart.

After winning the struggle for the throne, Pei Buyan regained his memories. He remembered that he had transmigrated long ago and once served as Xiao Zhuo's strategist.

Their marriage as barbarian prince and consort had been an act, but by a twist of fate, the pretense became real.

On the day Xiao Zhuo ascended the throne, Pei Buyan slipped away. But before he could enjoy even a few days of peace, cavalry surrounded his little courtyard.

The emperor rode in slowly on a tall horse and stopped in front of Pei Buyan, looking down at him.

In the memories he'd just recovered, the little liar had smiling, crescent-shaped eyes and a sly grin.

Emotion churned in Xiao Zhuo's dark eyes. "Have you had enough of playing at being empress?"
