Peng Muye thought he was just an ordinary student at Kyoto University until he received a mysterious text message: "Congratulations on being selected as the ninth substitute boyfriend. The mission target is the current empress Qin Moran." The empress of the current dynasty appears to be gentle, virtuous, and maternal, but in fact she is an out-and-out yandere. Her "love" will suffocate everyone - the first eight stand-in boyfriends, one is crazy, one is disabled, one is missing, and the remaining five are still receiving treatment in mental hospitals. Peng Muye was thrown into the empress's court, and began a "love" game that seemed sweet but was actually full of murderous intentions. He found that the empress's "love" was crazy - she would banish people to the cold palace just because a palace maid looked at him one more time; she would send people to assassinate the other party's family just because he smiled at other women at a banquet. What's even weirder is that Peng Muye discovered that he seemed to have some special ability - he could "see" the countdown to the empress' true thoughts. Whenever she asked with a gentle smile, "Makino, do you think I'm beautiful?", A line of red words would appear in front of his eyes: [Remaining life: 24 hours]. He must find a way to survive before the countdown ends. But what he didn't know was that the entanglement between him and the empress had begun as early as ancient times...
