After I Went Crazy, the Tyrant Begged Me Not to Die

After transmigrating to ancient times, Chu Jinyu finds himself surrounded by trouble: his virtuous-seeming stepmother is vicious, his father is blind to the truth, his elder brother is attracted to men and plans to force himself on him, his half-sister is reborn and uses him as a shield, the servants curry favor with their betters and cut his meals, and the maids try to climb into his bed before framing him.

As for him, Chu Jinyu, he coughs every few steps, lives on medicine, lost his concubine mother young, and has no one to rely on.

Talk about a disastrous start.

Worst of all, his future self is deceived by Prince Ping, who covets the throne, into giving his heart and body, only to have his legs broken, his eyes blinded, and die miserably.

Chu Jinyu hugs himself tightly.

He has never been treated this unfairly before!

What's the point of living through all this? He might as well die.

He doesn't want to live, but he still holds a grudge.

How do you stop a pot of water from boiling?

How do you solve your troubles at the source?

Faced with a family full of villains, he can't be bothered to deal with them one by one.

So, at the palace banquet, he raises his sword and charges at the emperor, seated at the head of the hall with an unreadable expression.

"You dog emperor! Today, I, Chu Jinyu, will uphold justice on behalf of Prince Ping and my Chu family! Prepare to die!"

Come on, Emperor, execute my entire clan!

The emperor: "?"

The emperor is attacked, and the Imperial Guards rush into the hall. Chu Jinyu throws his head back and laughs, then leaves them with the words, "My Chu family won't let you get away with this," before decisively slitting his own throat.

Just as he'd expected, his entire clan is wiped out down to the last person.

The emperor really delivered.

But then...

Chu Jinyu opens his eyes after killing himself in the hall, only to find himself back in his drafty little room.

History repeats itself. He looks at the palace banquet invitation on the table and reaches for his sword again.

"...Prepare to die!"

The emperor, who finds this scene strangely familiar: "?"

The third time, before Chu Jinyu can even reach the palace, the emperor has the Chu family surrounded and brings Chu Jinyu to the imperial palace.

"You! You are simply... infuriating me to death!"

After attempting to assassinate the emperor and promptly slitting his own throat, the emperor, who has just bound himself to a nurturing System, gets stabbed twice before he even has time to meet the target of his mission.

The emperor has a splitting headache.

Chu Jinyu doesn't get to throw his tantrum and is thoroughly displeased.

"Beep beep. Your mission target is in a bad mood. Please comfort them as soon as possible."

"Mission reward: High-yield seeds."

The emperor: "This is outrageous!"

He's the one who's aggrieved? I'm the one who's aggrieved!

But for the sake of the seeds, the young tyrant, who had bathed the court in blood, softens his voice. "Whatever's wrong, I'll help you get even. Just stop trying to assassinate me, okay?"

Chu Jinyu: "Sure. Execute my entire clan."

"Don't spare a single one."

The emperor: "..." Picking a fight with this boy means picking a fight with the King of Hell himself.

Theme: Solve the problem at its source.
