My Merits Made the Emperor Fear Me, So He Drove Me Away. Now His Kingdom Is Falling, Why Are You Crying?

Eight years after transmigrating, Gu Feng never imagined that he would be the one to stage a beacon-fire spectacle to win a beauty's smile.

He gathered the militia for Zhou Ziwei, and even overthrew the previous dynasty for her. When the yellow robe was placed on his shoulders, he still resolutely helped her take the throne.

But he never expected her to fear that his achievements would overshadow her own authority.

Just as victory and unification seemed within reach, he saw beacon fires blazing across the land.

Only after returning did he learn that it had all been done to make her first love smile.

Heartbroken, Gu Feng resigned and left.

When the country fell and the land lay in ruins, Zhou Ziwei was dumbfounded.

Zhou Ziwei: "Gu Feng, I truly know I was wrong. Please, come back."

Gu Feng: "When you had power over the whole court, you forced me to leave. Now that the country has fallen, you regret it?"
