[Steady, sinister widower top x gentle, snarky bottom]
“Wow! I must be incredibly unlucky to transmigrate into the body of such a calamity of a person!”
Wen Ruolin transmigrated into the body of a notorious sinner from history, a powerful court minister who kept a private army and crushed loyal officials and generals beneath his heel.
He thought he could stay alive by hiding out in the countryside. Who could have guessed the original owner was a hidden powerhouse, utterly unlike the rumors? He was skilled enough to hold off an enemy army at the border all by himself, then calmly give his life, leaving behind a legend told over countless pages.
Even more incredibly, Wen Ruolin was bound to a “reenactment mystic realm” that sent him through time without warning, forcing him to relive the original owner’s melodramatic yet heroic life over and over.
His sect was framed by the powerful? The mysterious organization “Black Mad Dogs” was relentlessly hunting him? No problem. The original owner’s martial arts prowess was his golden finger!
But just as he finally got used to the perilous life of the ancient world, he suddenly realized that his connection to the original owner might be more complicated than simply possessing his body.
He kept a private army, cozied up to the powerful, and persecuted loyal officials.
Yet this person, whose crimes were so numerous they could fill the bamboo records and whose name would stink for a thousand years, still gave his life when the nation and its people faced ruin, keeping the enemy forever beyond the city gates.
Back in the present, the smoke of war rose once more.
Wen Ruolin threw himself into the fray again, but the problem this time wasn’t the foreign enemy. He suddenly realized that his relationship with the original owner might not be the conventional bond between a body and the soul that inhabits it.
He often leaned against the bedside, gazing at the waxing and waning moon in the distance, his thoughts in turmoil.
Until one day, he was no longer alone behind the scenes.
“Long ago, someone else was lost in the same abyss as you.”
“So what?”
“Years ago, I failed to hold on to that person. I swore then that from now on, even if thunder struck and Heaven condemned me, I would never leave him alone again.”
Powerful minister? Treacherous official?
The martial world? The imperial court?
See how a modern wage slave navigates the whirlpool of ancient political intrigue, grumbling as he builds a career and, along the way, picks up a widower powerhouse for an earth-shaking romance!
