Yun Can is a pitifully malnourished ginseng spirit. After taking human form, he sneaks into the palace disguised as a little eunuch tending the flowers, focused on saving enough money to buy spirit stones for cultivation. Seeing the tyrant Lu Jinchuan tormented by debilitating headaches, he volunteers to treat him, though all he actually serves is bathwater steeped with his own ginseng body.
But as the medicine goes down, the tyrant’s gaze grows stranger and stranger. One day, he makes his decision on the spot: make him empress!
Lu Jinchuan had been using his headaches as bait to catch a traitor in the palace. He never expected to hook a fragrant, soft little fake eunuch who could even ease his pain. The little eunuch isn’t a spy, yet he’s practically begging to treat the emperor’s illness. His Majesty is certain: this fellow must be after my looks!
Later, he discovers the truth: the little eunuch is no eunuch at all, but a withered ginseng spirit. Lu Jinchuan isn’t worried in the least. After all, what wicked thoughts could a malnourished ginseng spirit who can’t even afford spirit stones have? He just wants some gold and silver, and maybe to rope me into being his meal ticket for life.
