Why is the Dog Emperor Like That? - Chapter 1

It has been seven years since I transmigrated as a “cannon fodder” Imperial Preceptor. Now, the Emperor has passed away.

The original story’s grand antagonist, my student and the Crown Prince of the Great Liang Kingdom, Yin Xiao, has finally ascended the throne.

Everyone came to my estate to offer their congratulations. However, I could not bring myself to smile. They assumed that as the esteemed Imperial Preceptor, I would naturally enjoy endless glory, wealth, and gold. But few people knew that the relationship between Yin Xiao and me was complicated.

Between a teacher and a student, aside from simple gratitude, there are inevitably some messy, inextricable ties. According to the original plot, the villain Yin Xiao failed to take the throne and, in a fit of rage, slaughtered a multitude of people. Among them was this cannon fodder Imperial Preceptor—me.

To save my life, I had no choice but to work hard to cultivate Yin Xiao and help him ascend. For seven years, I exhausted my mind and body, yet I was constantly met with his cold face.

I still remember how he always looked at me with such ferocity when I was by his side. He once left me with a chilling threat: “Once I ascend the throne, you just wait for your death!”

I smiled bitterly. This Imperial Preceptor job is truly not easy. Working the longest shifts and enduring the harshest abuse, I have had the worst luck.

Now that he has actually ascended, how could I dare to remain in the capital? On the day of the Imperial Concubine selection, while Yin Xiao was being pinned down in the palace by the Empress Dowager to choose ladies for his harem, I greased my soles and bolted.
