Your Majesty, Stop Flirting. I’m Really Straight

Shen Chi wakes up after transmigrating into a book, bound to the smart-mouthed System 9527. The System won’t save his life. All it does is announce his death countdown and gossip about the neighbors: “Ding! Host, you’re only three steps away from your tragic death!”

Shen Chi: “You’re so good at delivering bad news. Why not go work in the Ministry of Rites and manage funerals?”

To stay alive, he frantically packs his younger sister off to the palace. But she gets whisked away by the emperor’s younger brother, and Shen Chi is forced to enter the palace himself and apologize.

He fakes an illness, turns etiquette into a weapon, and unleashes his sharp tongue, forcing a hopeless situation into a spectacular courtly fiasco.

From his throne, Li Chengzhao chuckles. “With a mouth like yours, Young Master Shen, you could guard a city so well that I wouldn’t take it in three years.”

Shen Chi: “Oh no. It seems the emperor was after me all along!”
