Update Schedule: Saturday

Originally known as The Obsequious Official Is Like a Delicate Flower, or Obsequious Official. I’ve changed it to this title for now, muah. 

The author’s opening words: Every chapter has a silly little extra, and the text is full of memes and foreshadowing. The action is placed far in the future from the initial foreshadowing, so I’ll mark it in the author’s notes whenever the two match up 💛

Silly, sweet, refreshing novel:

In the fifteenth year of the Chenghua Dynasty, the usurper Ning Chen finally died. The youngest left minister since the founding of the dynasty, his power extended over all the realm, and his methods were as ruthless as his heart. He formed a party around himself in order to extend his private interests, and assassinated loyal ministers who resisted his cause. In the end, a thousand arrows pierced his heart before the royal palace, and he died. 

At that moment, Emperor Li Wuting was standing before the palace, gazing down at him as if he were nothing more than an ant. 

The night after Ning Chen died, Li Wuting reincarnated to the day he took the throne. 

In his last life, he put his trust in an obsequious official, causing chaos in his court. This time, he resolved to strangle the problem in the cradle. 

***

When Ning Rushen transmigrated from the modern era, it was the first year of the Chenghua Dynasty, and the new emperor was ascending to the throne. 

In the solemn court, he saw the emperor who had just taken his place walk down the hall until he came to a stop before him. Killing intent surfaced in the depths of his eyes. 

Ning Rushen, who had just transmigrated: …What’s wrong?

Seeing a swift slap about to land on him, Ning Rushen suddenly fell to his feet before the eyes of the court! His face was as pale as snow, and the corners of his eyes were red, like a delicate little white flower swaying before the wind. 

The officials cried, “Your Majesty, have mercy!”

The new emperor, Li Wuting, who hadn’t even touched him: ???

Ning Rushen wiped away the tears at the corners of his eyes and let out a little sob: This official is so weak. 

Li Wuting smiled. What a wonderfully obsequious official. 🙂

Afterwards, Li Wuting slowly discovered that this delicate flower was not only fresh, but also rather sweet at its core.

Cold-faced but soft-hearted gong x white on the outside, black on the inside prime minister shou

1x1, an alliance of strong partners. No abuse, all sweetness, relaxing and silly. 

The main character rides in out of nowhere. He transmigrates from modern times to ancient times, rearranging many matters for his own use. Please don’t compare this to actual history. 

The shou is a fake white flower. He’s written as a delicate rose, but reads as a man-eating orchid. 

This is an alliance of strong partners in a comedic court, where the shou dresses up as a pig in order to eat a tiger, plucking its fur and squeezing its butt (whoa).

The original host was a crafty and fawning official, with no mistake. The shou and the original host are not the same person, and the gong and shou are falling in love for the first time. 

When it is a family name, the character 宁 is read Nìng. This is a silly novel that isn’t that serious, so some unfamiliar ancient vocabulary will be changed to more easily-understandable words. Ordinary, easy and pleasurable writing is of the highest order!

The main character is not yet twenty at the beginning of the novel. He has not yet come of age and held his crowning ceremony, so his hair is loose. The official examinations are not completely the same as the real historical ones. All the settings in the text are part of the main outline, and are there for the sake of the plot. Don’t worry over them! 

This is the happy planet of silly people; those who maliciously start fights with unpleasant comments will be deleted on sight. 

I do not accept those who hop between various chapters without subscribing and set up false flags. 

The gong and shou are both big shots, and the main characters are super strong! The whole journey is free of abuse; this is a face-slapping feel-good novel. 

Sweet doting love HE, comedy
