Have I Become the Tyrant's White Moonlight?

Ming Hanzhang transmigrated into the body of Yin Yao, the famous tyrant who ended the chaos and subdued the four realms... or rather, into the body of Yin Yao's early-deceased beloved.

They say that when Lord Yin was still a prince, his father treated him coldly and sent him as a hostage to a great noble house, where he met Master Ming.

That young master was pure and noble, dignified and poised, with the bearing of a true gentleman. Sadly, his life was cut short, and he died on the eve of Yin Yao's accession to the throne.

For many years afterward, as Yin Yao set out to conquer the world, Master Ming remained a guiding light on his path.

When Ming Hanzhang transmigrated, Yin Yao had already been a hostage in the Ming household for three years.

He had a transmigration guide that contained just one line.

[When your great endeavor is complete, return home in glory.]

Got it. He just had to be Yin Yao's beloved, then step aside once Yin Yao rose to power!

Ming Hanzhang had studied history thoroughly and was determined to play the part of an elegant young gentleman, celebrated for his virtue in a chaotic age.

But... why was the hostage Yin, who was supposedly treated with such "tender care" by Master Ming, now Master Ming's horse slave, trampled underfoot whenever he came and went?

Ming Hanzhang diligently followed the history books.

He shared his bed and meals with Yin Yao, bandaged his wounds, taught him to read and observe proper etiquette, and even personally warmed him and helped him dispel the poison whenever Yin Yao's deadly poison flared on the night of the full moon.

But Yin Yao always looked at him strangely.

Only later did Ming Hanzhang learn that all those beautiful stories were really ways Master Ming had tormented Yin Yao!

Whippings, torture, dragging him behind a galloping horse... Even the poison in Yin Yao's body had been administered by Master Ming himself!

Yin Yao hated him to the core. The day his army stormed into Jinling, he personally cut off Master Ming's head and turned it into a lantern!

Then he became Yin Yao's guiding light... literally.

And the great endeavor the original owner had left him was to kill Yin Yao and avenge himself!

Ming Hanzhang: Damn it, run!

He packed his bags in the middle of the night, hoping to save his own skin before Yin Yao seized power and ascended the throne.

But later, with an army at the gates, Lord Yin climbed down from his horse, his black armor soaked in blood, and strode forward to step into Ming Hanzhang's carriage.

Yin Yao's bloodstained sword and his obsessive, ruthless expression matched the tyrant described in the history books.

Ming Hanzhang closed his eyes and waited to die, but the cold imperial sword merely lifted his chin.

"Why did you abandon me, Master Ming?"

"You and I were clearly so fond of one another."
