◆ Cool-headed minister × ruthless tyrant (in public)
◆ Clingy little oddball × doting wife fanatic (in private)
The Great Zhao has three great treasures: first, Chang'an, a place of splendid abundance; second, Lingzhou, a vital military stronghold; and third, Yunqing, a place of moonlit pines and flowing streams.
The "Yunqing" mentioned here refers to the Great Zhao's most powerful minister, Yun Zhixue.
Yun Zhixue is famous not only for his beauty. More importantly, he holds power at the heart of the court, and even the emperor must give him some deference. There are even rumors that the Yun family is the second most powerful clan in Great Zhao.
Yun Zhixue closed his eyes, opened them, and discovered that he had transmigrated from his own ABO world into an unknown dynasty.
The System told him he had to complete a mission and win over the tyrant character in order to return to the real world. What's more, the world he had transmigrated into had no alphas or omegas. People here had no pheromones or heats, and were somewhat like betas. For Yun Zhixue, an omega whose heat was about to begin, this felt like the worst possible start...
Worse still, the man he'd become, who shared his name, was a powerful minister with countless enemies. He had even been assassinated, and rumors of his death were spreading everywhere. Yun Zhixue had transmigrated into his body only after he died.
Yun Zhixue was on the verge of tears. So should he be dead or alive? He couldn't exactly claim to have risen from the dead!
Deep down, Chu Xing was a little afraid of Yun Zhixue.
Before Chu Xing took the throne, the late emperor had personally promoted Yun Zhixue, a pillar of the state. He held immense power and had a vast network of supporters. If Yun Zhixue hadn't been a little younger, Chu Xing might even have had to take him as his teacher.
Looking at the man only three years his senior, Chu Xing saw nothing but a cool, detached air about him: cold eyes, an indifferent expression, and thin, pale lips. He was colder than the snow in the depths of winter.
The one thing an emperor could least tolerate was fear. He was the Son of Heaven, the ruler of Great Zhao, and would not allow anyone to rise above him. Yun Zhixue made him feel threatened.
So he meticulously arranged an assassination. The plan succeeded. Listening to his guards' report and picturing Yun Zhixue's gruesome death, Chu Xing felt thoroughly relieved.
But when court convened the next morning, he clearly saw that same cool, composed face again.
Those round black eyes stared at him without the slightest fear...
Chu Xing suddenly felt a chill run down his back...
