A Hundred Years After My Death, I Became the Tyrant's White Moonlight

[Preorder: The Treacherous Minister Failed to Fake His Death and Gave Up. Coming in August, still with an older gong and younger shou! Blurb below.] Blurb: When Qin Duoye ascended the throne as a boy, eunuchs held power and the empress's relatives seized control. He devoted himself heart and soul to establishing the Great Wei's peaceful and prosperous age, but overwork made him gravely ill, and he died suddenly on the eve of that golden age. When he opened his eyes again, he had become a frail civil official a hundred years later. After angering the tyrant with an inappropriate remark in court, he was thrown into the water prison, with his life hanging by a thread. In a crisis, one must do what is necessary. Looking at the young successor, Qin Duoye smiled and gently coaxed him: "Your Majesty, how about we make a deal?" The tyrant only stared into his eyes for a moment before agreeing, to Qin Duoye's surprise. But gradually, Qin Duoye began to sense that something was off. The tyrant seemed to like biting him. The tyrant seemed to be especially fond of his eyes. The furnishings in the tyrant's palace were almost identical to those from a hundred years ago. The tyrant... One day, Qin Duoye casually opened a drawer and took out a book to read. [I hate that you were born too early. Love, separation, greed, anger, delusion, and desire for what cannot be attained.] Qin Duoye abruptly threw the book from his hand and slammed shut the drawer of evil. Inside were all the letters he'd written in his previous life, his portraits, and the teacups, brushes, and ink he used to favor. This was bad. The tyrant seemed to like him, or rather, he liked the late Emperor Wei Chenglie, who had died a hundred years ago. Like a lovesick stalker, he had locked away everything that belonged to him inside the palace. Damn. Terrifying. Suddenly, a frosty presence enveloped him from behind. The tyrant's cold hand clasped his fingertips, his voice brimming with desire he could barely suppress. "So you've finally found out, my Emperor..." [The persuasive old ancestor shou x the clear-headed hopeless romantic tyrant gong] 1v1, both are virgins, happy ending [Reading Guide] 0. The shou is called Qin Duoye, not Qin Duo :( 1. The shou has no children and designated a nephew from his clan as his successor. 2. The gong is not a descendant of the shou's family. They have not even the slightest blood relation. 3. The gong is a tyrant and really has killed a lot of people. 4. Before learning that the gong isn't one of his own, the shou treats him like a kid in his family. He only develops feelings after the truth comes out later. 5. The gong and shou only have each other, physically and emotionally. I explain this in Chapters 2 and 4. The actions are meant to intimidate, and the clothes were the eunuchs' idea. The author won't delete reader comments, but apparently people need this explained to avoid imaginary landmines. 6. For clarity and fun, the language is sometimes a little modern. Please don't complain (hands pressed together). Blurb for the preorder, The Treacherous Minister Failed to Fake His Death and Gave Up He's so tired. Really. Now, at last, he is going to die. In the cold, dark imperial prison, Xie Xingzhou closed his eyes. The Emperor's Tutor, Xie Xingzhou, held the court in his grip for over a decade. He was overbearing and willful, persecuted his colleagues, deceived the emperor, and brought suffering to the people. The emperor and his tutor had long been at odds. But the emperor was still young, his wings not yet grown, and his power had already been stripped away. The tutor constrained him at every turn in court. The emperor bided his time for years, finally striking a fatal blow and having the tutor arrested and imprisoned. After the tutor died of illness in prison, no one knew that in the empress's phoenix bed, behind the dim curtains of the rear palace, white and red candles burned together. It was both a mourning hall and a bridal chamber. "Teacher... How dare you die without my permission?" "Xie Xingzhou, I hate you so much." After his attempt to fake his death failed, Xie Xingzhou opened his eyes to find himself bound to the imperial bed. The emperor he had raised himself had become twisted and dark, gripping him by the throat and saying he would make him feel a pain that tore his heart apart. Xie Xingzhou :) Whatever. After ten years of exhausting himself, he was tired. Now he would commit to laziness until the end. Living was fine. Dying was fine, too. Soft bedding was nice, but he could sleep on a hard couch as well. With his wrists tied up, he could just have someone feed him. He just didn't know why the emperor, who had once wanted to flay him, dismember him, and devour him whole, now clung to him like a puppy abandoned in the rain, soaked and trembling. "Teacher, please, just smile for me... I'll give you anything. Please don't be sad..." Reading Guide: 0. Some people hate the moon for shining on them once, then never again. 1. 1v1, both are virgins, happy ending, age gap of ten years, with the gong younger. 2. Pseudo-forced relationship. No physical or emotional abuse. The secret crush is the little emperor's one-man storm of passion. 3. The shou isn't a good person, but he knows what he's doing. 4. The shou is frail for a while early on due to his failed death-faking, but the gong will nurse him back to health. 5. I did my best with the political intrigue. The plot serves the romance, and the language isn't especially classical. The main goal is a relaxing read. 6. Come on in? [Brain storage] Theme: A peaceful country and a tranquil world.
