I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

Gu Yuanbai transmigrated into a BL novel as a weak, sickly emperor who barely had any sense of presence in the plot. The novel was a story of the struggle to gain the political power and love between the future regent and the first beauty in the capital, and he was supposed to serve just as a backdrop board.

Gu-wildly ambitious-Yuanbai: Don’t make me laugh.

He was the emperor—why would he let go of his power instead of expanding the national borders and leaving his name in the annals of history?

Xue Yuan, the son of the current supreme general and the future regent, hiding a burning ambition, accompanied his father into the palace for the first time. That day, he looked up, hidden among the crowd of courtiers, and caught a glimpse of the young emperor’s face.

Naturally rebellious, he sneered, thinking contemptuously that the little emperor looked prettier than the palace ladies. With this too-beautiful appearance and weak body, how was he planning to rule the country?

By making people take pity on his frailty?

After offending Gu Yuanbai, Xue Yuan was brought to kneel before him.

Gu Yuanbai let out a muffled cough, the snow falling in thick flakes gathering on his shoulders. Xue Yuan’s expression was dark.

“I’m in a bad mood.” Gu Yuanbai glanced at the future regent with a soft smile, his voice husky. “Don’t make me unhappy, do you understand?”

Xue Yuan was like a mad dog.

However, Gu Yuanbai was not afraid of anything except for life not being exciting enough. Taming a mad dog into a loyal official in his sickly condition was just a different way of challenging himself.

But he was too careless—it seems that the dog became too tame.
