I'm a Fake Eunuch! Did I Become the Empress's Mind-Reading Cheat?

[Transmigration] [Absurd comedy + Empress hears his thoughts + Fake eunuch + Oscar-worthy manipulation]

After transmigrating to the Great Qian Dynasty, Lin Bai becomes a fake eunuch whose head could roll at any moment. Living by the principle that “getting a job is out of the question,” he decides to lie flat in the imperial harem, eating his fill and waiting to die. Faced with the aloof and commanding beauty of an empress, Lin Bai puts on a show of tearful devotion: “This servant’s admiration for Your Majesty is like the mighty Yangtze, flowing on without end!” In his head, though, he grumbles furiously: “That stupid woman’s making big promises again. Like hell I believe her! Hurry up and clock out, I want roast chicken!”

Who could have guessed that the empress would awaken the ability to read minds?

And so, the entire court descends into chaos. The officials discover that this fake eunuch, who seems to do nothing but flatter people, can use god-tier acting to confuse enemy envoys until they lose their way, and even manipulate the powerful regent into questioning his entire life. Watching Lin Bai curse her under his breath with “Quit bothering me” while being forced to offer up peerless strategies, the empress’s lips curl into a delighted smile. “Eunuch Lin, come to my chambers tonight. We have some overtime to put in.”

Lin Bai: “??? Your Majesty, I’m a eunuch! Overtime like that wouldn’t be appropriate!”
