You, a tyrannical ruler, roam the heavens; you cannot understand my joy.

pain……

My head hurts so much...

Lu Zuo got out of bed and looked around blankly.

The old, carved wooden window was half-closed. There was a sandalwood table, two round chairs, and the half-burnt red candle in the candlestick on the table had long since turned to ash. The air was filled with the lingering scent of old books.

No matter how you look at it, this isn't the hotel I'm staying in.

"What did you bring me here for?"

He rubbed his burning neck, his eyes slightly narrowed, reminiscing about the past.

During the summer vacation, I worked part-time on a film set as an extra. Because I was filming until 5 a.m. last night, I went to the hotel with the crew without even removing my makeup.

As soon as I lay down, I felt dizzy and my head spun.

In a daze, I seemed to see a green lake and two men in ancient costumes, and then I was completely plunged into darkness.

When I woke up again, I found myself in this place...

"Steward Li, are we really going to do this?"

"If discovered, it would be a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family..."

Just as I was pondering this, I suddenly heard a hoarse and deep male voice in my ear.

Lu Zuo immediately listened carefully, and another slightly high-pitched, somewhat aged voice entered his ears.

"well……"

"The current situation of the court is such that the Sui state is eyeing us covetously from the outside, while powerful families are stirring up trouble from within."

"His Majesty is ill and has no heir. If news of His Majesty's passing were to spread, our Chen Kingdom would immediately descend into chaos."

After a pause, the man continued, "Fortunately, Heaven has blessed us with this person who is identical to His Majesty in both stature and appearance."

"Simply bring him back to the palace to replace His Majesty, and the situation in the court can be stabilized."

"And you and I can completely control the Great Chen Dynasty!"

"When the time is right, Lord Shi can take his place and become the true master of Great Chen!"

After these words were spoken, silence fell outside...

After a long silence, the man with the deep voice finally spoke: "Okay!"

"Wenqing will obey his father-in-law in everything!"

……

Inside the room, Lu Zuo's face was deathly pale, and he was covered in cold sweat!

Sui State, Chen State...

From their conversation, it is clear that they have traveled back to the Northern and Southern Dynasties period.

If I'm not mistaken, the unification of the world is not far off.

The two people outside must be the culprits who caused him to be knocked unconscious as soon as he transmigrated.

His aim was to replace Chen Shubao, the last emperor of the Southern Chen dynasty.

According to historical records, Chen Shubao reigned for only seven years before his kingdom was destroyed by the Sui Dynasty, and he was taken to Chang'an, where he suffered humiliation and died.

Even more deadly is...

After these two have seized control of the court and held absolute power, they will kill him and usurp the throne!

In the current situation, it's a case of either sticking out one's neck or sticking back, there's absolutely no way out!

"He should be waking up soon."

"Let's go in and talk to him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zuo immediately lay down on the bed and pretended to be dead.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and two men walked in.

One of them was tall and straight, dressed in a plain white robe, about thirty years old, with handsome features, sharp eyes, and a two-foot-long beard.

The other person was dressed in a blue robe, with an ordinary appearance and a wrinkled face. He was an elderly man in his fifties with no beard.

After entering the room, the two exchanged a glance and then walked to the bedside.

The old man bent down, first placing his hand on Lu Zuo's wrist to check his pulse, then raised his arm and patted him on the chest.

Upon receiving this pat, Lu Zuo felt a cool sensation penetrate his body, reaching straight into his heart.

In an instant!

He felt exceptionally refreshed, radiating an indescribable sense of ease. His mind was also crystal clear, his thoughts more lucid than ever before.

This thing...

Could it be the legendary true qi?

Could this be a viable world for cultivation?

Lu Zuo guessed that the old man's move was a way to wake him up, so he quickly opened his eyes and pretended to look around blankly.

"here it is……"

"Hehe." The old man grinned, sat down on the edge of the bed, helped him up, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Kid, you've hit the jackpot."

"From this day forward, you will be the supreme ruler, the Emperor of the Great Chen Dynasty, above all others!"

"what?"

Lu Zuo feigned surprise: "Old man, you can't joke like that."

Do I look like I'm joking?

The old man's gaze sharpened, like two knives piercing Lu Zuo's eyes!

"To tell you the truth, my family is the Grand Steward of the Chen Kingdom, Li Cheng'an."

"And this is Shi Wenqing, a secretary in the Imperial Secretariat."

At this point, Li Cheng'an glanced at Lu Zuo, saw his surprised expression, nodded in satisfaction, and continued, "Half a month ago, I accompanied His Majesty incognito out of the palace to Jiangling to seek treatment from the divine physician Shen Bingxin."

"I never imagined that Shen Bingxin was from Cihang Jingzhai?"

"While treating His Majesty, they suddenly attacked and killed him. By the time we rushed into the house, His Majesty had already passed away."

"The imperial court cannot be without a ruler for even a day!"

"Since your appearance and figure are exactly the same as His Majesty's, I brought you back to replace His Majesty and rule the Great Chen Dynasty."

Cihang Jingzhai?

Lu Zuo, a fan of martial arts novels, felt a surge of emotions.

These four words lead us to the conclusion that this is not the historical world, but the Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty!

After explaining the cause and effect, Li Chengan's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he abruptly grabbed Lu Zuo's cheeks!

He felt a sharp pain in his cheek and involuntarily opened his mouth.

Immediately afterward, Li Cheng'an tossed in a pill, watched as Lu Zuo swallowed it, and then grinned, saying, "This is the most potent poison in the world; even the King of Hell will call you to die at midnight!"

"As long as you promise us that you will behave well in the future, we will give you the antidote and ensure your safety."

"otherwise……"

"Hmph, even a supreme deity couldn't save your life!"

Lu Zuo nodded hurriedly: "This humble servant is willing to follow your instructions, sir and Lord Shi."

The two looked at him, then exchanged a glance, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha..."

"This child is teachable."

Li Chengan sneered: "However..."

"To avoid making you think we're lying or scaring you, we need to let you experience firsthand how deadly it can be when the King of Hell calls you at midnight."

Bang bang!

He moved his fingers swiftly, pressing on two acupoints on Lu Zuo's left side!

Immediately, the room was filled with heart-wrenching screams and the two men's unrestrained laughter.

The howling continued from dusk until late at night before finally stopping.

"Get a good rest tonight, and tomorrow I will teach you His Majesty's demeanor, manners, and habits."

Li Chengan left the room with a remark and led Shi Wenqing away.

On the ground, Lu Zuo was curled up in a ball, his facial features contorted so much they were almost deformed, his muscles trembling all over, and his eyes staring at the doorway as if they were about to spit fire.

"You two bastards..."

He gritted his teeth, cursed under his breath, and slowly stood up, supporting himself on the ground with one hand and gripping the bed board with the other.

Just then, a golden panel suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
