The Sickly Emperor Beloved by All (Rebirth)

Nan Rongchen only learned after his death that he was a villainous, tyrant emperor in a book. His “younger brother,” whom he had tracked down from among the commoners, was the true choice of the former emperor’s sacred heart and the protagonist of the transmigrated book. Meanwhile, he himself possessed no royal blood and was only meant to serve as a ruthless, territory-expanding blade paving the way for the protagonist, existing solely to set off the protagonist’s benevolence and wisdom. He knew full well he was far from innocent. During his reign, he used thunderous methods to pacify internal troubles and ward off external enemies, and his hands were stained with plenty of blood. The noble and upright Imperial Tutor did not seem to mind his blood-soaked karma, staying by his side for years and declaring that he was fond of him. Thus, beyond his own measure, he tried to hold the bright moon in his arms. Until an arrow tore through the sky, and the Imperial Tutor’s gaze turned cold as he advised him to surrender without a fight. Only that arrow missed its mark, leaving him to be imprisoned by the protagonist in a dark cell, forced to endure the pain of dying all over again. Fine. Let there not be a next time. *Having fallen to such a state, he still somehow ended up rebirthing. [System 365: The plot collapsed after the host’s death. Please replay the tyrant plotline. Upon success, you may fake your death and survive.] He had come to terms with it. According to the plot, he would humiliate the protagonist group and farm hatred values with a Buddhist mindset. Yet the protagonist group turned out to be terribly abnormal. First was his protagonist younger brother, who, after being subjected to all sorts of humiliation, smiled as he wiped away the blood from the corner of Nan Rongchen’s lips. Then, putting on a hypocritical show of solicitude, he vowed to grant him a lifetime of peace. The alien prince who admired his younger brother, after being slapped across the face in public by Nan Rongchen, bit down on his fingertip and, just to disgust him, kept his silk handkerchief tucked next to his skin. The wildly eccentric older brother who hated him to the bone was not normal either, insisting on draping his robes over him while he was indulging in pleasure according to the plot, and even secretly sketching portraits of him in dishabille, though there really was no need to go to such lengths just to exact revenge. And the Imperial Tutor, as pure and noble as the moon, went mad as well. And that was not all. In the end, the Imperial Tutor authored treatises to clear his name, the alien prince knelt and surrendered numerous cities, the protagonist handed over the imperial jade seal of his own accord, and the eccentric prince slaughtered every single rebellious traitor in the realm for his sake. They offered their hearts, surrendered political power, and laid down mountains and rivers, all simply to beg the tyrant they once loathed so deeply to stay alive. Nan Rongchen slapped away the Imperial Tutor’s hand from his wrist and pushed aside the protagonist who had grabbed him by the waist. “What madness are you all raving about? I am a villain, you know.” *Legend has it that the Wu God has protected Linyue for generations, but Nan Rongchen never believed in gods, once piercing the center of the divine statue’s brow with a single blood-soaked sword. And so, after his rebirth, retribution came calling. The Wu God, with white hair and red garments, reeking of ghostly aura, bound him tightly with countless red threads that offered no escape, yet gently wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. “Lingjun, hell cannot hold you. You can only cross this mortal dust sea of ten thousand tiers together with me.” One-Sentence Summary: Even a villainous tyrant has to be a universal heartthrob?
