Go Ahead, Wipe Out My Entire Clan!

Qiao Si transmigrated into a court-politics novel and became a minor cannon-fodder character. Deceived and used by a sinister, scheming aristocratic clan, he met his end. Luckily, he could be reborn. So he died eight times and still couldn't beat them. In his ninth life, Qiao Si finally realized that he wasn't cut out for political maneuvering. If he couldn't beat them, then he wouldn't play! Instead of fighting tooth and nail to survive, he would let himself go! He decided to commit a crime so heinous that his entire clan would be executed, and take the villain's whole family down with him! Surviving was hard, but getting your entire clan executed was easy, right? Once his clan was executed, the wicked aristocratic family would be made to die alongside him. What a satisfying thought! But Qiao Si never imagined that this time, the emperor could actually hear his thoughts! No matter how desperately he tried to get himself killed, no matter how fiercely he kicked up a fuss, the emperor refused to punish him. Not only did he spare Qiao Si, he kept showering him with gold and silver and granting him high office and generous rewards! Qiao Si's plan to get his clan executed failed time and again, leaving him in a panic. The ministers could only shake their heads and sigh: What a foolish emperor! How could he let a treacherous minister cloud his judgment? Emperor Yin Shaojue had ascended the throne as a boy. Having seen through people's schemes, he had become suspicious, violent, and mercurial. He had long grown used to the lonely life at the summit. Day after day, he labored with all his might until exhaustion finally brought on auditory hallucinations. After testing them carefully, he discovered that the voice he heard was actually Qiao Si's genuine inner thoughts. In the imperial study, Qiao Si slapped the table and shouted, “You foolish emperor! You tyrant!” What Yin Shaojue heard was: “Go on, execute my entire clan! I don't want to live anyway!!” Yin Shaojue: “...?” Qiao Si: “?” Didn't he hear me? Hurry up and execute my entire clan! The emperor laughed in anger. “You want to die so badly? I'll grant your wish.” Qiao Si was overjoyed. The world spun around him, and then he was tossed onto the dragon bed. Even with his eyes and mouth blocked, his noisy thoughts still went on without end. Yin Shaojue ran out of patience and turned the pretense into reality. After it had happened several times, Qiao Si heard a low whisper right by his ear: “Do you still want to die?” Qiao Si shuddered all over. “Mmph, mmph!” No, no, no! I won't dare for the rest of this month! A little plug for my upcoming story, which I'll be writing next: "Replace Me, Let Me Lie Flat": A goofy, sweet urban supernatural romance 1. Yue Shi encountered a living urban legend. It was an indescribable monster. The monster would gradually take on his appearance, eventually replacing him and taking over his life. It proclaimed: “I will replace you. I will imitate you, learn from you, and become you, until your job, social life, daily routine… even your identity, all belong to me.” Yue Shi: “That includes overtime, business dinners, loan payments, housework, insurance, nagging about marriage, and picking up packages?” The monster: “Everything that belongs to you.” Yue Shi was overjoyed. What a deal! 2. At first, the monster kept a close eye on Yue Shi, diligently going to work, socializing, competing at work, and making a comeback in his place. Yue Shi pretended to be frightened and anxious, theatrically dragging it along in “resistance.” “Nooo~ This is my life~” To make Yue Shi behave, the monster tried a mix of threats and bribes. First it grew long, soft tentacles to scare him, then it handed over its salary, and finally it used humanity's most basic desires to make him give in and lose all motivation. Later, the monster took over Yue Shi's life step by step, gradually learning joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Under the monster's management, Yue Shi's formerly disastrous life gradually turned into a face-slapping comeback, and “Yue Shi” himself became a mysterious, unfathomable CEO in the eyes of others. It was financially free, admired by all, successful in both fame and fortune, and radiating charm. It had achieved the kind of life everyone wanted. Yet the monster felt empty inside, with little joy and no sense of satisfaction at finally becoming human. After pondering for a long time, the monster decided it was probably exhausted from working overtime and went home early. When it opened the door, Yue Shi was lying flat at home, looking utterly content. He was playing video games and drinking milk tea in the air-conditioned room. When he turned and saw the monster had returned, he hurriedly hid what he was holding. “You, you have to let me explain…” But the monster was silent for a few seconds before asking the question it had been thinking about all the way home: “Yue Shi, your life is now smooth sailing.” “Don't you want to take back everything that belongs to you?” “Soon you'll disappear… Aren't you afraid?” 3. Later on, the monster grew more and more reluctant to go to work. It spent its days clinging to the human who had given it a soul, a life, and every emotion, whispering his name again and again. “Yue Shi, A-Shi…” Yue Shi's scalp prickled at the sound of its voice, and countless times he soothed those innumerable tentacles just as he had before. After countless exchanged glances and kisses, Mr. Urban Legend suddenly found the answer in Yue Shi's eyes. “So the one who was afraid all along… was me.” Theme: Stay true to yourself, and you can find a way out even when all seems lost.
