The Tyrant Awoke from His Illness in Shock: His Beloved Minister Was a Woman

[Forced possession + woman disguised as a man + both leads are each other's first and only + top scholar versus emperor]

What does it feel like to come first in the imperial exams, become the newly appointed top scholar, conquer a city, change your name overnight, and fail your conquest mission?

Shen Yuanzhao knows. She knows all too well!

As a professional conquest specialist, Shen Yuanzhao is responsible for maintaining order in every original world. She is cold-blooded and merciless, and has never failed in her work.

But during her final mission, the original world collapsed. The male lead, Long Aotian, who should have ascended the throne, became a prisoner, while the crown prince, originally a cannon-fodder villain, turned dark.

And when she was young, she had betrayed him while posing as another conquest specialist.

She had pulled him out of the mud, taught him to read and write, taught him how to love... then ruthlessly flung him back into the mud!

His white moonlight became a black moonlight, and he even sought out all sorts of masters to summon her soul!

After living in fear day after day, Shen Yuanzhao's dual identity was finally exposed, and on her wedding day, no less!

The now-darkened emperor pursued her all the way there. Seated high on his throne, he lifted her chin with a bloodstained sword, then teasingly lowered it to her collar, cornering her. Every word he said made her heart pound with fear.

"Minister Shen, how pitiful. Your mission failed, so now you can only stay by My side.

"Minister Shen, have you ever heard of keeping a beauty in a golden house?"
