In my past life, I bent over backward for the court, reviewing memorials until I was coughing blood, and still ended up abandoned by everyone.

Now I have been reborn. Whoever wants to be a punching bag can take the job. I will give every ungrateful wretch the cold shoulder equally!

But I've been bound to a romance System that keeps throwing up bizarre missions.

"Please act coy with Chancellor Su."

"What in the world?!"

"Please touch his abs (0/1) to unlock instant return."

"Do not touch through his clothes. Please try again."

"I, the Emperor, %@&*!"

"Please feed General Xie."

"Please spend half an hour alone with Prince Yong."

"Please get into bed."

"..."

Several years later.

"Chancellor Su has achieved remarkable results in reforming the bureaucracy. The court is now clean and upright. He requests the honor of lunching with Your Majesty."

"The Imperial Tutor has no bad habits and is still unmarried. We have negotiated two more cities."

"Prince Yong has brought in secret intelligence from the enemy state!"

"General Xie offers you the land and rivers as his betrothal gift. He took down the Xiongnu!!!"

The court is restored, and all nations come to pay tribute.

Me: "???

I was just slacking off. How did I end up rebuilding the whole empire?!"

The gong's perspective:

Xie Qianli was born into a family of nobility. His illustrious military achievements made him a force to be reckoned with, but also made him so powerful that the Emperor saw him as the most conspicuous threat.

He knew better than anyone that an emperor's heart was as deep as the sea, and that a ruler could never tolerate a treacherous minister.

On the night he was given poisoned wine, the moon hung low. He closed his eyes, ready to accept his fate, only for a fingertip to tap his chest and then hook around his wrist.

Ying Xi's eyes were tinged red as he said, "My dear subject, shall we get into bed?"

--

Bonus scene:

To complete a System mission, Ying Xi works up the courage with liquor.

Tipsy, with the imperial bed curtains half drawn, Ying Xi fumbles around in the dark again and again, but just can't undo the man's complicated belt.

He gives up!

Ying Xi flops down to sleep.

But then someone bites his earlobe. A low, husky voice murmurs beside his ear, slowly pressing into it.

"How about I teach you, Your Majesty?"

Reading guide:

1. A beloved Emperor shou x a cunning, loyal-dog gong. 1v1, both pure, and each has eyes only for the other. Happy ending.

2. Multiple love interests at first, then one-on-one later. The shou's interactions with the other characters are all plot-related.

3. The main story is told in third person.

New novel blurb: After I Began and Abandoned the Mad Minister

Transmigrated into a useless prince who is about to be betrothed to the current Grand Secretary, Zhu Chaojin flees the wedding in the middle of the night.

Rumor has it that the Grand Secretary is a bloodthirsty, unpredictable man. If Zhu marries him, he probably won't live through the night.

He can't afford to provoke him, so he can at least run.

-

On his journey south, through picturesque rain-washed scenery, he meets a refined, gentle young man in dire straits.

The man's bearing is as beautiful as jade, his sleeves fragrant. He's a civil official fleeing south to escape the persecution of a powerful minister.

Zhu Chaojin gladly invites him to travel together. They're both down on their luck, so they might as well look out for each other on the run.

But during their escape, Zhu accidentally gets poisoned with an aphrodisiac and, in his daze, sleeps with the man.

Ashamed when he wakes, he can only steel himself and promise to "take responsibility."

As time passes, he sees the beautiful young man growing more and more attached to him, and Zhu Chaojin becomes increasingly uneasy...

Then the capital is thrown into turmoil and an army lays siege to the city. He cruelly leaves without a word and hides in a hut deep in the mountains.

-

He thinks he can live in seclusion under a false name from then on.

But the very next day, his hut is completely surrounded by armored soldiers.

Through the morning mist, a familiar figure slowly approaches.

A deputy general bows and says respectfully, "Grand Secretary."

Zhu Chaojin: ?!

...Who?

The gentle young man who had once been down on his luck now stands before an army, looking down at him with a soft smile. "Your Highness, my betrothed."

"You ran from our wedding, then started this relationship and abandoned me. Tell me, how should we settle this score?"

A beautiful, quick-witted, spoiled young lord x a split-personality, unhinged Grand Secretary gong
