Daily Life Raising the Future Tyrant

The previous idea wasn't inspiring me, so I've changed the premise. Sorry.

Gu Yunjiao is the biggest wastrel in the capital, and the only daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, who cherishes her like the apple of his eye.

She likes throwing her weight around and snatching handsome men.

Until one day, she wakes up and realizes she's actually the wicked supporting character in a book. She coveted the future tyrant and even forced him to submit, eventually bringing about the execution of her entire family.

Terrified, Gu Yunjiao decides that from now on, she'll put her lustful ways behind her. Staying alive is what matters.

But on a cold, snowy night, she still ends up finding a pitiful young man.

Gu Yunjiao recognizes him at once as the future tyrant from the book: cruel, unfeeling, bloodthirsty, and violent.

But right now, the young man is curled up in a corner, dressed in rags and painfully thin. Pale and frail, he looks like a bird with its wings clipped, as if he might snap in two.

Gu Yunjiao sighs. What can she do? She's just too kindhearted.

She'll take him home and raise him. Hopefully, he'll remember her kindness one day and spare the Gu family.

The Seventh Prince, Wei Ling, was born of low status and despised by everyone. Abandoned in the countryside as a child, he suffered every kind of abuse.

He was destined to rot in the mud.

But on that snowy night, someone held an umbrella over him, shielding him from the wind and snow.

Dressed in jewels and fine clothes, she was like snow atop a mountain, yet now she shone her light on nothing but his muddy little corner.

She tended to his wounds, hired a tutor for him, and even stood in front of him to protect him when others bullied him.

For a moment, Wei Ling even began to crave the warmth she gave him.

Only later did Gu Yunjiao realize that the tyrant was still the same tyrant. He had never been a pitiful little victim.

He was a demon who had crawled out of hell and merely learned to hide it.

Until one day, she looked at someone else a little too long.

The young emperor's eyes roiled with a possessiveness she had never seen before.

"I'll give you anything you want, my love."

"But from now on, you can only look at me."
