I Refuse to Clear My Name [Book Transmigration]

*Only after Liang Qi died did he learn that he had transmigrated into a power fantasy novel about a hero who humiliates villains.

And he was the villain being humiliated: an ugly, evil tyrant.

He was talentless and wicked, and prone to wild mood swings. Most importantly, he failed to recognize the future emperor who would bring down his dynasty. He humiliated the hero at every turn and forcibly took the hero's beloved.

In the end, the hero reclaimed his country, slapped him in the face, and danced on his grave hand in hand with his beloved. He even ruined Liang Qi's reputation in the history books.

System: [Host has successfully been reborn. Please cozy up to the protagonist and clear your name to save yourself.]

Liang Qi steadied the dragon carving on his throne and smiled. "Save myself, is that it? Wouldn't it be easier to kill the protagonist?"

Before him, the overpowered protagonist knelt in humiliation, his hands bound as he surrendered.

Since the man had delivered himself right to his door, Liang Qi smoothly drew his royal sword. With a smile in his eyes, he faced the protagonist and struck without mercy.

But the System wouldn't let him kill the man. He gave a scornful laugh, his smile dazzling and his beauty bewitching. "Fetch the royal sword for me in your teeth."

This time around, either the protagonist dies or he lives. Is he supposed to let the hero step on his face and show off?

*If he can't get his hands on a collector's edition skull of the overpowered hero just yet, he can at least thank the System for giving him a complete walkthrough of the plot.

The protagonist's beloved is aloof as the moon and will one day become a great statesman. Right now, he's enduring humiliation to get close to the protagonist. Liang Qi pours a pot of wine over him, soaking the white bandage over his eyes. "With a pitiful, delicate look like that, you're wasting your talents by staying at my side. You belong at Bright Moon House..."

The protagonist's first golden finger will become a powerful general. For now, he's hiding his talents while following the protagonist. Liang Qi plants a foot on his back. "Your master has already become my slave. You can be my human sedan chair."

The second golden finger is a genius strategist, playing a double agent right under his nose...

And the Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years, who will one day hold all power at court and cruelly torment and violate him at will, is still a little eunuch in his service. Liang Qi lifts the man's chin with the tip of his shoe. "You're not worthy of serving me. But I'm short one plaything to amuse myself with."

And what's this? The protagonist? Give him a few lashes and humiliate him.

*After all that, the plot reaches the point where the protagonist is drugged and takes his first harem member.

Of course, Liang Qi was the one who drugged him, and he sent the protagonist's wife away too.

Candlelight glimmers on the brocade curtains. He lifts the protagonist's chin with his whip, his eyes full of wicked mischief. "If you die like this, don't blame me."

But the next second, the protagonist pounces on him and kisses and bites him amid the richly embroidered curtains. A warm breath coils around his neck like a venomous snake. "Your Majesty, have they touched you like this too?"

System: Well, if you say so, Host...

*The new emperor is ugly and tyrannical, and everyone hates him. But when they glimpse the face hidden beneath his mask, they all lose themselves.

Before long, they willingly bow their heads, docile as tamed dogs. Only when the new emperor turns away do they bare their fangs, gazes burning and obsessive as they wait for a chance to make him their own.

*A mad and world-weary emperor who transmigrated into a book, shou & one rabid, obsessive gong

*The shou is irresistible to everyone, with arrows pointing at him from all sides. Neither gong nor shou is a good person.
