In a nutshell: A laid-back eunuch who just wants to lie flat somehow becomes the moonlight in the heart of an emperor who checks in every day. [Goofy slacker × emperor who reads too much into everything] [Woman disguised as a man × the identity-reveal trope]
Transmigrated into the body of a low-ranking official’s daughter in ancient times, Shen Qingci lies flat to avoid being selected for the imperial harem. She comes across a handsome man with serious injuries and even makes him write a “promise not to kill me.”
After her escape attempt fails, she is forced to enter the palace as a eunuch. By day, she sweeps Zichen Hall; by night, she writes The Tale of Consort Zhen, and on the side, she runs “Anti-Gaslighting Training Classes for the Emperor” for the consorts.
Then, one night, the tyrant pins her against the wall with a hand around her throat. “I’m not good enough? Hmm?”
Clutching The Eunuch’s Survival Handbook and trembling, she says, “Maybe… you should look at the five-star reviews from the consorts first?”
Later, the tyrant receives a secret report:
“Xiao Shen and Consorts Guifei and Defei have founded the ‘Sisterhood for De-Masculinization.’ They say Your Majesty is a blue-and-white porcelain vase that looks good but is no use!”
“They used the gold melon seeds you gave them to crowdfund a retirement manor. They’ve even drawn up the floor plans!”
Xiao Jingxuan looks at the little eunuch secretly eating melon seeds on his dragon bed and suddenly chuckles. “You want to escape?”
The next day, the palace walls are covered with an edict appointing her empress. Shen Qingci stares at the words “not permitted to retire for the rest of your life” and falls into deep thought.
It's quite funny, very interesting. Very relaxing. The characters of the concubines in the harem are also interesting. There is no plot of palace fighting, overall it is a sweet and sweet novel.
The novel is culturally rich and demonstrates the author's deep knowledge.
This book is a rare good book. The story in the book has clear logic and the protagonist and supporting characters all have distinct personalities!
. How can I put it this way? The author really wrote it very carefully!
I have read a lot of online novels, but I have rarely seen such a pure, refreshing and non-colorful work full of positive energy!
Nice. Pushed. The early stage is really nice. I haven't watched it yet
It's good-looking, the plot is rigorous, the characters are vivid, and the plot is what I want to see.
The plot has ups and downs and is full of suspense, making people read it late into the night and not want to sleep.
It's beautiful, so awesome, and the inner drama is wonderful.
Very good, the storyline is in order, I still want to continue after reading it, come on!
