[Unrequited love + mutual healing; a timid-seeming but strong-hearted, unlucky eunuch bottom × a dark, obsessive, deeply devoted prince top]
The Emperor of Evil Has Gone Mad is a ridiculous, empty novel full of absurd plot twists that earned countless bad reviews. Yu Lang is its unscrupulous author.
When other people transmigrate into a book, they get either a System or a golden finger. But Yu Lang, the unlucky fool, never wanted to transmigrate at all. He was forced into the experience, and on top of getting nothing to help him, he became a despicable, vicious eunuch who meets a tragic end as a minor character in the story.
After learning his lesson, Yu Lang decides that, to save his own skin, he has to cling to the male lead and help him ascend the throne.
So what if he's a eunuch? Eunuchs can have their day in the sun, too. Yu Lang cries out, “I'm going to change my life!”
Murong Jin can't understand it. Zhang Ji, who used to bully him all the time, took one fall and became a completely different person. Now he worries about Murong Jin's health and even his career prospects.
In this treacherous palace, time seems to fly. The two keep each other company, walking year after year along a path rife with schemes and plots.
Murong Jin realizes that the more he looks at Yu Lang, the harder it is to look away.
Yu Lang: “Murong Jin, you don't understand.”
Murong Jin: “If there's something I don't understand, you can explain it to me.”
Murong Jin really doesn't understand why Yu Lang always seems so sad about his feelings for him. Is it because of the cold persona he puts on? But he only acts that way toward other people.
Since Yu Lang came into his life, a ray of light has shone into his pitch-black world.
