After the Brooding Green-Tea Top Reborn at Max Level

In his previous life, Zhou Tongfeng was straight, but a man threatened him and forced him into marriage. His family tied him up and delivered him to a powerful, influential clan, all to curry favor with its legendary head. Zhou Tongfeng struggled for his life: “You bastard Shang Zhuochen, I’d rather die than be the bottom! I’ll take you down with me, even if we both die!” The man rubbed his temples and said with a headache, “I never said you had to be.” On their wedding night, the man took off his shirt. Those muscles, those contours, that slim waist… The man raised an eyebrow at the dazed Zhou Tongfeng. “You don’t know how, or… can’t?” Zhou Tongfeng swallowed and changed his tune in a flash. “I’ve never done this before. I don’t know how, but I can learn! Could you… teach me?” The man sighed and gave him hands-on instruction. A completely straight guy, tearfully taking his medicine and topping! After the first hour, Zhou Tongfeng accepted it. After the first day, Zhou Tongfeng got used to it. After the first week, Zhou Tongfeng was hooked. After the first month, Zhou Tongfeng was addicted. This was so good! And then, while he was busy enjoying himself, their first wedding anniversary arrived. Zhou Tongfeng was widowed. His wife was dead. * Given another chance, Zhou Tongfeng only wanted to enjoy a sweet married life. So what if he was a live-in son-in-law? Hah, he’d be one for life! He was done picking up this piece of trash. Zhou Tongfeng couldn’t wait to enjoy a life of hot nights in bed, throwing his weight around, swaggering about, and bathing in riches! The time was about right, too. Just as he was tidying himself up and getting ready to marry into a wealthy family in style, he found out that his wife was the one who was straight! Oh, no! Wife, open the door! I’m your husband! Ah… no, I mean, your little brother. * “Master, Zhou Tongfeng definitely has ulterior motives! He’s after something! You have to believe us!” Zhou Tongfeng looked aggrieved. “Big brother, don’t listen to those villains’ slander.” Shang Zhuochen waved them away coldly. “I don’t want to hear this a second time. Take them away.” He may not be my real little brother, but he might as well be. Fengfeng couldn’t possibly hurt me, right? Of course I believe him. That’s more like it. With a foxlike, coquettish air, Zhou Tongfeng rubbed his big brother’s solid shoulder and said in a sugary voice, “I’m the only one who truly has your best interests at heart, Big Brother!” * Gong’s POV, no pairing changes or role reversals, both leads are sexually inexperienced Fox works over tiger; spirit forms appear Dark, beautiful gong, younger and deceptively sweet In this life, the gong is the strongest fighter in the story from his very first appearance, and the most calculating Height: 170 → 195 Cold, handsome, stoic shou, dark skin, white hair, amazing physique Height: 183 [Content warning: the gong is extremely repressed, extremely so, with tons of self-indulgent fantasies and daydreams. Proceed with caution if that’s not for you.] My next book is now open for follows: The Dream-Husband of the Year Takes on the Whole World! I hope anyone who likes it will add it to their favorites. A delusional emperor who keeps acting out and making a spectacle of himself A black-hearted, then innocent, then black-hearted regent, but his husband turns all his schemes to smut Mad dog × stubborn mule Shou’s POV: As an ambitious regent, he spent ten years plotting with meticulous care, only to lose everything in a single day. But as the minister entrusted with the young emperor by the late emperor, his reputation, honor, principles… even his life were all bargaining chips he was willing to stake. The young emperor was still a child, while the young minister had been poisoned and had only thirteen years left to live. A loyal minister gives his life for his sovereign. After ten years of careful plans, he had made himself a stepping stone and paved a stable, broad road to power for the young emperor. * Defeated in battle, the young emperor held a long sword to his neck. “I lost. Your Majesty… kill me!” Pinned to the ground, he struggled to suppress his excitement and relief. His eyes shone with terrifying intensity. He stared straight at the emperor before him, smiling as he bared his neck for the killing blow. But then, clank! The sword hit the ground. The emperor smiled strangely. “Regent, you jest. You’re in poor health. Get up and sit in a chair; the ground is too cold.” Mercy toward one’s enemies is a great taboo for an emperor. The regent’s alarm bells rang, so he deliberately provoked the emperor before him: “Heh… the dragon bed is warm, though. If Your Majesty truly wishes to show me kindness, why not let me sit on it?” But the emperor’s smile only grew more twisted. “Of course. Since the regent has asked so nicely… I couldn’t be happier to oblige.” Gong’s POV: The domineering CEO had built his fortune from nothing, clawing his way up from the bottom. Almost everyone thought he was cold and ruthless, without any particular interests, and so calculating that no one could see through him. …Almost everyone. Because he had a one true love. And he didn’t even try to hide it. He was a hardcore fan of an old-school wuxia political intrigue novel, and an absolutely die-hard fan of the villain. In the book, the villainous regent had a handsome face and an excellent reputation. He completely fooled the protagonist’s group, and not one of them could tell he was the villain. But later on, the protagonist’s group discovered that the regent had put the young emperor under house arrest! He wanted to usurp the throne and change the dynasty! After much effort, the protagonist’s group finally rescued the young emperor and killed the great villain, the regent. The main story ended. But just as the young CEO thought it was all over, a farewell letter in the epilogue shattered his peace of mind! It turned out the greatest villain of all, the regent, had actually been a good person! The regent knew he was nearing the end of his life and had only three years left. After that, he would no longer be able to protect the young emperor. So he willingly gave up his life to teach the inexperienced young emperor one final lesson! The regent hadn’t even embezzled any money. He had carefully hidden all the treasures from the national treasury, and there was several times more than the inventory listed. And the people he had killed were all corrupt officials and treacherous ministers, secretly colluding and building up their own forces while harming countless ordinary people. At that point, all the countless riches, power, and subordinates passed to the young emperor without a hitch! The regent had only one request in his farewell letter: under no circumstances was anyone to clear his name! That way, he could remain the young emperor’s strongest, most solid stepping stone! The young CEO was deeply shaken. The grown-up CEO tossed and turned all night. The adult CEO couldn’t sleep, so he picked up his phone and fiercely argued with trolls on behalf of the villain. Until one day, the CEO transmigrated. * The CEO transmigrated into the emperor. He arrived in the later part of the story, when the regent’s reputation was at its lowest. Seeing his dream character kneeling at his feet, the CEO’s hand shook, and he tossed away his sword in front of the protagonist’s group without a second thought. You want to sleep in the dragon bed? Sure, sure! The CEO-emperor happily agreed. Everyone was dumbfounded. His outrageous behavior was only the beginning. The dream fanboy was just getting started… “What the regent says is naturally right. He couldn’t possibly be wrong.” “The regent only wanted your life, and you dared to impeach him?!” “The regent can kill anyone he wants!!!” And so, the dream fanboy of the year started viciously dragging the whole world to build up his favorite! ***The fighting power of a dream fanboy*** Even back when he was still a CEO, Duan Chengyu had repeatedly taken on trolls under his real name on major platforms for Jiang Lüyin. At his company’s annual gala, he was arguing with people on Jiang Lüyin’s behalf. Between ringing the Nasdaq opening bell, he was arguing with people on Jiang Lüyin’s behalf. When he hit the trending lists after making the Forbes rich list, he was still arguing with people on Jiang Lüyin’s behalf. In short, no matter how busy he was or where he was, whenever there was a fight, he’d show up when called! Troll 1: “The author’s twist with the regent is way too fake. He was clearly a corrupt minister, but now they’ve written him like this. It’s just a twist for the sake of being emotional, a reversal for the sake of a reversal.” Trolls 2/3/4/n: “+1/+2/+3/…+10086” Duan Chengyu (verified account) suddenly appeared, furious: “You’re all as stupid as pigs! You can’t even understand the foreshadowing! How could the regent possibly be a corrupt minister? He was a capable minister, a good minister, a loyal minister, an upright minister, a pillar of the state! If he hadn’t gone easy on the protagonist’s group here and there, and in the ending, how could they possibly…” The spectators watching the drama all said: “Just as expected. Here he comes.” “The bait is obvious, and the hook is huge.” “Send me 50 yuan and I’ll say something nice about Jiang Lüyin.” The CEO immediately sent out a 500,000-yuan red packet! “Go on, say it! I want you to praise him with all you’ve got!” * As emperor, Duan Chengyu excelled in civil and military affairs, ushered in a golden age, and raised the dynasty to new heights. His ministers were satisfied with him in every respect. He was the very model of a wise ruler, a paragon of virtue! There was only one thing that gave everyone a headache: His Majesty really loved arguing with trolls. If anyone had a problem with the regent, His Majesty instantly lost his reason and went completely mad! He even scoured the common folk for all sorts of rumors to clear the regent’s name, personally debunking each one. And he went into painstaking detail, filling the book with all kinds of little details about his daily life with the regent. He compiled it into a volume and published it publicly, requiring every official to keep a copy. If they caught any troublesome commoner badmouthing the regent, they had to drag the person in and lecture them, singing the praises of the regent’s outstanding achievements! As a result, Duan Chengyu only made everyone more interested in the regent himself and his many “crimes.” In everyone’s eyes, the regent had been nothing more than an ordinary corrupt minister. Now, all kinds of scandalous rumors were flying around. The regent’s reputation had become that of a fox spirit come to earth, a demon fox who bewitched his lord. He wasn’t just a corrupt minister; he was a seductive imperial concubine! Under His Majesty’s machinations, everything, black or white, turned yellow. There was no need for this. Really, there was no need! When Jiang Lüyin saw the book, he shut his eyes and nearly passed out. I truly don’t care about my reputation, but Your Majesty didn’t have to do this to me, did you? Could this be His Majesty’s revenge? The court historian, who had witnessed it all firsthand, excitedly scribbled away: “Is this what they mean by one fan being worth ten haters?!” Theme: Good fortune and love favor the brave
