Synopsis
A modern office worker transmigrates into the body of a notorious, ruthless regent known for purging the imperial family and tormenting the young emperor. Now tasked with managing a traumatized seventeen-year-old ruler, the new Lan Du struggles to balance his perceived tyranny with his actual lack of cruelty. It reads like a classic transmigration into a villain trope, blending elements of court intrigue with the misunderstood tyrant dynamic common in historical BL novels. This is for readers who enjoy slow-burn redemption arcs and comedic misunderstandings; those seeking a dark, gritty political thriller should skip it, as the tone leans toward the absurd. The pacing is brisk given the completed length, with the standout quality being the humorous gap between the regent's internal panic and the emperor's terrified interpretations.

Editorial Review
This completed BL novel offers a concise exploration of the villainous transmigration trope. Its primary strength lies in the comedic irony of the protagonist's attempts to maintain a stern facade while inadvertently terrifying the emperor. The dynamic between the cautious ruler and the bewildered regent creates an engaging tension that drives the narrative forward. However, the work suffers from a significant lack of traction, as evidenced by its minimal visibility. This suggests that while the core concept is functional, the execution may not be distinctive enough to stand out in a crowded market of historical romances. With only 141 chapters, it is a quick read, but it lacks the epic scale some readers expect from court dramas. It is a competent, if unremarkable, entry into the genre.
