Chapter 2 Everyone Wants to Conquer Me 2 (Updated)
The original owner had a splitting headache. He ignored the previous dynasty and neglected political affairs.
He doesn't believe this world is fake.
Everything he suffered was described in the words of others.
Just because he's the male lead.
They suffered greatly in their childhood.
Later, many more women like that appeared.
It's all for that favorability rating.
The young women selected for the imperial concubine selection, the eunuchs around them, and even more outrageously, the court officials—all of them sought to gain his favor.
The original owner went mad, shouting that this world was fake, and that everyone and everything was fake.
The court officials breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the original owner had gone mad; if he went mad, he could no longer be the emperor.
They quickly supported the Eighth Prince to ascend the throne. So what if he's a bit slow? At least he won't kill people indiscriminately.
Not long after, news came that the original owner had committed suicide.
Although the original tyrant is dead, the country is on the verge of collapse, the court is in chaos, there is a military crisis, and the people are displaced, with refugees rising up in rebellion in various places, and the people are suffering.
This country and its people are doomed; it's only a matter of time before they perish.

Ji Huaizhi looked speechless: [What is this thing? It's like the world is being riddled with holes.]
System: [Yes, the original owner regretted his actions after death and committed suicide. He felt he should have killed all those people.]
Ji Huaizhi: [So he asked me to help him kill someone?]
System: [No, after he died, he saw a world littered with corpses, people displaced, and plagued by frequent famines. He regretted becoming a tyrant.]
System: [He only realized after his death that whether this world truly exists or not wasn't so important; the suffering of the common people was what truly mattered.]
Ji Huaizhi: [...]
[System, you're saying a tyrannical ruler who loved to kill would become a good emperor after he died? Do you think that's possible?]
The system beeped: [Please complete the task, host.]
Ji Huaizhi knew he wouldn't say anything; these tasks had become somewhat tedious after a while.
"Your Majesty." The eunuch left behind by the late emperor saw that Ji Huaizhi had woken up and hurried over: "This servant will help you change your clothes."
Ji Huaizhi frowned: "You're not dead yet?"
The eunuch Chen Duojin was so frightened that he immediately knelt down: "This servant deserves to die, for angering the Emperor!"
The emperor's moods were unpredictable, and he was terrified that the emperor might just order him to be dragged out and beheaded at any moment.
"What time is it now?" Ji Huaizhi realized that at this time, the eunuch was indeed still alive.
The first palace maid who transmigrated must have only been here a short time, right?
"It's past dawn, Your Majesty. It's time to prepare for court," Chen Duojin said.
"Change your clothes."
"yes."
Ji Huaizhi felt a little sleepy after putting on the elaborate dragon robe. He looked at the faintly bright sky outside speechlessly, wondering if the original owner was so irritable because of lack of sleep.
He is now the emperor and needs to change the time for holding court.
Just as they were finishing up, Mingyue entered and gave a somewhat awkward bow: "Your Majesty."
"You said yesterday that you wanted to eat the pastries I made last time. You can have them after court."
Ji Huaizhi's eyes were sleepy: "Grant him the privilege of suicide."
Everyone was stunned by the words Ji Huaizhi suddenly uttered.
Chen Duojin looked at the Emperor in surprise. Recently, Mingyue had become the Emperor's darling.
"emperor?"
"Um?"
With just a glance from Ji Huaizhi, Chen Duojin immediately lowered his head and said, "Yes."
He turned and shouted outside, "Someone, drag her away!"
Several people came in and tried to drag Mingyue out.
Mingyue was stunned. She immediately knelt on the ground and asked sadly, "Why? Your Majesty? Why?"
"Did I do something wrong, Your Majesty?"
She didn't understand. Why would they kill her today when she was perfectly fine yesterday?
Ji Huaizhi opened his eyes and said, "You just entered the door with your right foot, so you're upset."
Mingyue's expression froze.
His eyes suddenly widened, his expression cracking: "Just because of this?"
Ji Huaizhi: "Do you need a reason to kill me?"
Chen Duojin immediately waved his hand: "Drag him away, don't offend the Emperor's eyes."
Seeing that the crowd was about to restrain her, Mingyue struggled to her feet and cried out, "Ji Huaizhi! You can't do this to me!"
"How dare you!" Chen Duojin's voice trembled. "How dare you address the Emperor by his name!"
Mingyue was startled. Looking at Ji Huaizhi's expressionless face, a sudden panic gripped her: "No! You can't kill me!"
"Didn't you say you cared about me? You said you'd never seen a woman like me before, and that you wanted me to stay by your side forever."
Mingyue checked his favorability rating for her in her mind, and to her surprise, it was -100. This result almost made her vomit blood.
She didn't understand how things could have changed so much overnight.
"You don't like me anymore?"
"Your Majesty, look at me." Mingyue was terrified; her panic grew stronger and stronger. It seemed he really was going to kill her.
"It's me, Mingyue. Have you lost your memory?"
"I came into this world for you."
Chen Duojin dared not lay a hand on Mingyue, mainly because the Emperor had previously doted on her too much.
Therefore, the people in the palace dared not lay a hand on her.
Ji Huaizhi casually lifted her chin: "You came for me?"
Mingyue hurriedly nodded, "Yes... I came for you."
Ji Huaizhi's eyes seemed to have the power to captivate the soul; Mingyue almost drowned in his gaze.
But his next words were chillingly cold:
"Then you should die for me."
Ji Huaizhi glanced at Chen Duojin: "What are you standing there for?"
Chen Duojin immediately understood: the Emperor had grown tired of her.
"Yes." He looked up at the palace servant: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take him away."
"So as not to offend the Emperor's eyes."
Mingyue tried to say something, but someone covered her mouth and dragged her out.
Her eyes were filled with resentment; she knew that if she left from here, the mission would have failed.
But there was nothing she could do; she could only watch as Ji Huaizhi drifted further and further away from her.
Ji Huaizhi: "Let's go to court."
