A female court official disguised as a man × a devoted emperor. Political intrigue and romantic tension, with both leads falling for each other. Pure indulgence, no angst, and enough affection to make your heart melt!
After transmigrating into the body of He Chen, a minor official destined to be cannon fodder, I was forced to disguise myself as a man and navigate the imperial court. I only wanted to stay alive and avoid the original owner's fate: being framed by powerful officials and having her entire family executed. I never expected to stumble straight into Emperor Xiao Qian's heart.
The leader of the upright officials resents me for bruising his pride, while the prime minister sees me as a thorn in his side. They join forces to frame me and make trouble for me at every turn? Ha! With the mind of a top history student, I can sow discord and turn their own tricks against them, making them pay for their own schemes!
But who could have guessed that the cold, dignified emperor would show me such special favor? He comes to my defense at court, brings me warm tea late at night, and even declares in public, “Who dares lay a hand on someone who belongs to me?”
I hide my identity as a woman while fighting my way through court, all the while dealing with the emperor's increasingly heated gaze. Then one day, Xiao Qian grips me by the waist and asks in a low voice, “He Chen, why are you always afraid to look me in the eye? Could it be that you're hiding a secret?”
