Chapter 1

That mad tyrant had killed again.

Today, the Imperial Censor had requested that the eldest son, born to the Noble Consort, be named the crown prince.

From the throne, behind the beaded curtain of the imperial crown, a breathtakingly handsome face flickered into view.

The man’s voice was deep and sinister. “What did you say?”

“Are you suggesting We are on death’s door? Reaching for Our throne already?”

The court officials familiar with the emperor’s temperament instantly dropped to their knees in a wave of motion.

The Imperial Censor’s legs gave out, his knees slamming onto the jade steps.

Then, the unpredictable emperor suddenly raised a hand and drew his tall ceremonial sword.

Amid the screams, blood splattered across the great hall!

The Imperial Guard mobilized in an instant. The families of the Noble Consort and the Imperial Censor were raided and arrested within a breath’s time.

The Noble Consort, clutching her ten-year-old son, begged for mercy with a broken heart, but the tyrant only frowned, annoyed by the child’s wailing.

“Kill them.”

Two more bodies were carried away.

Watching from outside the screen, I gasped. I turned to the Daughter-Doting System beside me.

[“What the hell, is he sick? Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs. Was that his biological son?”]

Daughter-Doting System:[“He was, Host. Chu Ye is a mad emperor. He seized the throne by killing all his siblings and his own father. His hobby is killing people. He cuts down court officials like it’s a game, and he shows zero hesitation when it comes to his concubines and children.”]

[“Before you, Chu Ye has already killed 99 transmigrator daughters. Congratulations, Host. You are the one-hundredth.”]

I was even more confused. [“So why would a ‘Daughter-Doting System’ like you bind with a psycho like this?”]

[“A ‘Slaughter System’ would make more sense for me. We could have a showdown at the palace gates.”]

The Daughter-Doting System sounded aggrieved. [“I wasn’t in charge of Chu Ye at first. The ‘War of the Nine Princes System’ failed, then the ‘Seductive Concubine System’ and the ‘Redemption Arc System’ also failed.”]

[“Later, their data showed that Chu Ye killed daughters at the lowest frequency, since sons posed a direct threat to his throne.”]

But the system quickly cheered up. [“I heard you’re a famous rogue cultivator, very unorthodox, with a 100% success rate to date!”]

[“Host, host, so, will you choose to be born to the Empress in the central palace, a discarded concubine in the Cold Palace, or the highly favored Virtuous Consort?”]

It was quite a comprehensive list, covering all the typical mother types for a pampered three-year-old protagonist.

But I ignored the system. My gaze was fixed on the handsome man lounging on the dragon throne.

Chu Ye’s posture was arrogant, exuding a sense of explosive, mad indifference to everyone and everything.

System: [“Oh right, Host, you can choose one item from the system store to start with. Do you want a Beauty Pill or a Charm Pill?”]

I said, [“Give me a Pregnancy Pill.”]

System: [“What?! Host, many transmigrators don’t even live long enough to use that!”]

I pointed at Chu Ye. [“It’s for him. I choose to be born in the emperor’s belly.”]

The Daughter-Doting System was utterly shocked. [“Holy cow! I knew you were a rogue, but I didn’t think you were this rogue!”]

Whatever! Your host has already used the Pregnancy Pill on the tyrant and has successfully been implanted in his belly.

Chu Ye suddenly felt a strange sensation in his body.

But he paid it no mind, continuing to review memorials to the throne and ordering executions for those that displeased him.

It wasn’t until the tyrant retired for the night that the palace attendants keeping watch outside remained on edge, daring not to make a sound.

A young eunuch was struggling to stay awake until dawn when he suddenly heard a sound from within the bedchamber.

A dry heave.

The attendants were terrified! They scrambled inside to serve him.

Chu Ye threw up until he was dizzy.
