I, the Peerless Villain, Don't Need the Empress to Worry About Me

The Great Zhou dynasty is nearing its end. The ruler is tyrannical, treacherous villains run amok, and the people are suffering beyond measure.

An ordinary young man meets an ordinary young woman.

They meet for love, then part because of love.

[Once I've succeeded in my rebellion, I'll make you my wife.]

The young man swears to himself.

[Once I've pacified the realm, I'll make you empress.]

The young woman swears to herself.

Ten years later, the two sides face off. The man awkwardly gazes at the woman seated high on the dragon throne.

Should he go through with this rebellion or not?

The woman, dressed in imperial robes, looks at the man below, with a band of rebels behind him, and falls silent.

Should she put down this rebellion or not?
