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

After eight years since transmigrating, Gu Feng never imagined that the tale of a ruler lighting beacon fires to amuse his beloved would happen to him.

He gathered the militia for Zhou Ziwei and overthrew the previous dynasty for her. Even when the imperial robe was thrust upon him, he resolutely supported her rise to power.

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

Just as victory and unification were within reach, he saw beacon fires rising.

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

Heartbroken and disillusioned, Gu Feng resigned and left.

When the nation fell, the family was ruined, and the land lay shattered, Zhou Ziwei was dumbfounded.

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

Gu Feng: "When you held all the power, you forced me out. Now that the nation has fallen, you regret it?"
