I Became a Fake Palace Maid, and Ran Away After the Villain Read My Mind

[Two male leads] [An initially simple, straight man posing as a palace maid who later becomes a valiant general, the bottom × a scheming, willful, dramatic beauty of an emperor, the top] Poor college student Xie Xiao transmigrates one day, straight into the middle of a murder scene. And he’s become a “palace maid” in the Great Yu dynasty! While he’s trembling in fear, the murderer raises his sword and presses it against Xie Xiao’s face. Feeling the cold against his cheek, Xie Xiao, who has studied martial arts, secretly prepares to strike back. But when he turns around, he sees a face so breathtakingly beautiful it nearly stops his heart. “Mom! I’ve seen a fairy!” The fairy studies him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiles. Xie Xiao clutches his pounding heart and marvels at how one smile can outshine a hundred beauties. The fairy slowly parts their lips. The fairy is going to speak!!! “I have never seen anyone so ugly.” Xie Xiao, the campus heartthrob of A University: “???” “You’re so ugly, from now on I’ll call you the Clown...” Xie Xiao: Seriously, man? His fairy filter shatters into pieces, and from then on, the fairy goes further and further off the rails... Only later does he learn that he has transmigrated into a book, and that the fairy is the story’s villainous tyrant! - Note: The bottom doesn’t actually become a woman. He’s still a man, just with a palace maid’s identity, which he’ll shed later. The top thinks the bottom is ugly because he wears ugly makeup to hide his identity. The bottom will run away, so it’s something like a reunion after a breakup. This isn’t a purely sweet romance. The political intrigue is at an elementary-school level. The main focus is the romance!
