The Young Power Minister

[Political Intrigue + Ensemble Cast + Martial World + Beautiful but Tragic + Intangible Cultural Heritage + Happy Ending]

In his previous life, he served his sovereign with utmost loyalty and wisdom.

In this life, he feigned madness and foolishness to stay alive.

The Crown Prince fought loyally for his country and died on the battlefield, only for treacherous ministers to ruin his reputation.

What a disgrace!

Reborn in another body, he found himself in the body of an idiot who had lost all his internal strength.

Why not give up and coast through life?

He only wanted a person, a flower, and a world of his own. Who cared about the throne?

But circumstances wouldn't let him!

In his previous life, the Crown Prince was renowned, practically the perfect man! He could fight on the battlefield, compose poetry, and make a name for himself.

In this life, he transmigrated into the body of Liu Silang, feigning madness and foolishness as he slapped his enemies in the face, all while playing a well-behaved, seductive, crazy fox.

He never imagined it.

The villain who had left him without a place to die and hunted him down in his previous life was none other than Grand Tutor Ning, the man he had revered most!

Everyone hated Grand Tutor Ning! They said that although he taught and nurtured others, he was bloodthirsty by nature, and that he was a beast in human skin who harmed the innocent!

But no one knew that after the Crown Prince died, Grand Tutor Ning lit candles outside his chambers every night.

He said, "I'm afraid the night is too dark, and the Crown Prince won't be able to find his way home."

He lit the way, hoping the Crown Prince's soul might find peace.

Posterity says: "He bore history's infamy alone, yet his merits and blessings spread across the world."
