Chapter 41

Meng Xizhao transmigrates into an unfamiliar dynasty and becomes the son of a first-rank official.
Before he even has time to rejoice in the sudden wealth and honor that have fallen into his lap, he suddenly realizes:
His first-rank official father is a notorious schemer known throughout the land.
His duchess daughter is a widely recognized shrew.
His eldest brother cheated his way through the imperial exams, with ambitions of becoming the most corrupt official in the dynasty.
His younger sister is determined to marry the notoriously flirtatious Fifth Prince and even urges the whole family to help the prince seize the throne.
And as for him—he’s a universally disliked, lovesick playboy.
Their family has already accumulated a “death toll” score for misdeeds. By next year, it will be enough for them to be wiped out entirely, their name cursed for eternity.
Meng Xizhao wipes his face and resolves: I can still save them.
To avoid annihilation, Meng Xizhao pushes aside the useless Fifth Prince and throws himself at the emperor’s side.
The emperor loves music—Meng Xizhao trains singers overnight to perform in the palace.
The emperor loves beauties—he searches far and wide for ambitious, stunning women and teaches them palace intrigue strategies for free.
The emperor becomes so enchanted he neglects court duties, hugging beauties and enjoying music; Meng Xizhao brings the forgotten Crown Prince to the Hall of Governance and publicly supports him.
To the ministers, Meng Xizhao is a favored, treacherous, and highly cunning official.
To the common people, Meng Xizhao is a competent, honest, and exemplary official.
To the Crown Prince, Meng Xizhao is a benefactor, a friend, and an unattainable beauty.
He watches Meng Xizhao rise ever higher, not knowing whether Meng Xizhao would be willing to rise even further and join him in ruling the empire.
Meng Xizhao: I’m following the schemer’s script, not the empress’s guide!
Don’t come near me—!
If you can’t beat him, join him: a rainbow-praising, scheming official who’s soft and needs his beloved to motivate him into action.
True villain—forming factions, manipulating the emperor, eliminating rivals, while the people’s lives improve and the court is in turmoil.
Set in a fictional dynasty, with an expansive world-building.
