The blurb needs to be revised. This is currently a mixed version.
Sheng Qinglu transmigrates into the history books. He is the sole great villain in them, the regent who has been reviled for years and wants to control the young emperor.
He is truly The Outcast, a figure second to none and above all others.
He doesn't want to rewrite history, torment the young emperor, and seize power, only to end up remembered in the history books as a treacherous traitor.
He's just a university student who studies history. Nothing is more exhausting than keeping up with his studies every day while managing a whole bunch of officials and worrying over all those tedious details.
Every day, he has dark circles under his eyes and reads memorials until his eyes ache. When he looks at the little bean in front of him, he decides: Forget it, he might as well raise him well! He can think about seizing power later.
Seeing how lazy he is every day, the kid will surely never amount to much! He can consider usurping the throne later.
The young emperor's lessons increase day by day, and he cries his heart out every day, his face covered in snot and tears. He wasn't even this devastated when the late emperor died.
The young general Cen Jingyan has protected the borders and guarded the emperor alongside his father since childhood. He absolutely cannot let the young emperor suffer such humiliation. He is determined to expose the traitor's true face and leave a deep mark on his heart.
He never expected that the traitor really would leave an indelible mark on his heart.
He would bind him for the rest of his life, until he lived as the traitor did.
Theme: Be independent and self-reliant
