After Reading His Mind, the Little Emperor Kept Me Under Close Watch

[Unhinged, Scheming Emperor Top x Regent Bottom Who Only Wants to Fake His Death] Thanks for adding this to your collection!

Everyone in the capital knows that the young emperor of Da Sheng is a puppet, and that the real power lies in the hands of the ruthless Regent, Shen Huaishu.

Shen Huaishu is not only bloodthirsty but also debauched, and even the young emperor hasn’t escaped his clutches. Every day, he suffers the punishment of being bitten.

After transmigrating into Shen Huaishu’s body, he sits motionless on the imperial bed, too scared to move.

The obedient, adorable young emperor rubs his temples. His voice is clear and bright as he sweetly calls him, “Huaishu.”

But another voice sounds rather obsessive and cold.

[Shen Huaishu, once I’ve poisoned you to death, I’ll hang your corpse outside Wumen Gate for everyone to see.]

The good news: he has a golden finger, the ability to read minds.

The bad news: the young emperor is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He’s not long for this world.

Shen Huaishu was just a modern-day night market street vendor. What could he do?

He could make stinky tofu, clear land and farm it, and raise chickens and ducks.

What Regent? What does that have to do with him?

Wei Shaoan has spent years plotting and enduring humiliation, all so he could destroy Shen Huaishu.

But lately, he’s been losing it. Every memorial he sends in gets returned.

The Regent ignores the affairs of state, wears shabby clothes, and spends his days hawking goods on the street. Sometimes, he even acts completely deranged.

“Your Majesty, the Regent had someone dig a person-high dog hole in the back courtyard of his residence.”

“Your Majesty, the Regent was dancing around in the imperial kitchen, cutting, cutting cucumbers.”

“Your Majesty, the Regent donated all his money, saying he wanted to help disaster victims.”

Wei Shaoan says he’ll just have to see what tricks Shen Huaishu is up to.

The civil and military officials all waited for Shen Huaishu to meet his end. They waited year after year, and at last, they heard news of his death.

But then their emperor’s temperament suddenly changed.

Coming soon: After a Frail Human Is Taken in by an Elite Incubus. Thanks for adding it to your collection!

Yuan Shi opens his eyes to find himself in a strange and terrifying world. He is poor and hungry, and a frail human.

He has no lofty ambitions. He just wants to eat well, drink well, and sleep well. So he desperately needs a job, preferably one that provides room and board.

After getting turned down again and again, he finally finds a nightclub before nightfall.

The atmosphere inside the club is peculiar. Everyone is dressed in outlandish costumes, and each person has a tail tipped with a heart, drooling saliva.

The good news: the club owner decides to hire him and personally takes him to the changing room to put on a uniform.

The bad news: the uniform is a frilly lace dress. He’s been dressed up to suit the customers’ tastes.

And none of the club’s customers are human.

He’s wandered into a gathering place for incubi and become the food they’re about to fight over.

Incubi are said to feed on vital essence, and they especially love draining people dry while making love to them.

As luck would have it, he smells wonderfully sweet and is brimming with delicious vital essence. He’s a lavish feast unlike anything they’ve ever seen.

Yuan Shi is so scared he wants to cry. Then he sees a man who looks as if he stepped out of an ancient painting.

Yuan Shi is adopted by an official from the “Supervision Bureau.”

Bai You is noble and elegant, cool and aloof, yet treats him wonderfully. He comes to his rescue when he’s surrounded by monsters. He trims his nails, personally cooks meals for him, and picks out pretty clothes for him, though the clothes have fox ears and fluffy tails.

But Yuan Shi is happy and comfortable, both in body and mind. He only wants to stay by the official’s side and live this way for the rest of his life.

Until one day, beneath the broken moonlight, he sees the official with his long silver-white hair loose, his eyes turned pink. A tail has grown behind him, its tip a rainbow-colored glass heart.

Then that tail slips through Yuan Shi’s collar...

Bai You is of noble birth, a natural charmer, and the highest-ranking incubus in the demon realm. He only has to stand there, and countless people will willingly prostrate themselves before him and let him do as he pleases.

The leaders of the Supervision Bureau think so too. They believe the little one they tricked into going to the demon realm will be devoured by Bai You in no time. Then they can use it as an excuse to break the peace treaty between the human and demon realms, which has lasted for years.

But day after day passes, and nothing happens.

When they see the little one again, he’s even put on some weight.

The leader: “...That can’t be right!”

Subordinate: “There’s something even stranger. Some monsters have been secretly calling that little one their king.”

The cigarette drops from the leader’s mouth. “...Which king?”
