[Woman disguised as a man + master-level flirt + everyone gets their comeuppance + faked death and identity reveal + hilarious money-making]
After transmigrating, Lu Changwei, a top history student, becomes the Great Qian dynasty’s powerful and universally hated “fake eunuch,” the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old.
A living hell from the start: the whole court wants her dead, and the suspicious tyrant wants to boil her alive.
To stay alive and save up a million taels of gold to become a landlord in Jiangnan, Lu Changwei relies entirely on her acting skills, launching into a frantic routine of keeping all her admirers happy!
She takes a sword for the mad tyrant. His eyes turn bloodshot as he locks her on the imperial bed. “Awei, for all eternity, you can be the one and only person to hold the imperial seal!”
When the cool and aloof Grand Secretary makes things difficult for her, she plays weak and coughs blood. His faith crumbles, and in the middle of the night he corners her against a wall, fingering his Buddhist prayer beads.
That’s not all. The arrogant young general is willing to turn into a mad dog for her, while the battle-worn chief bodyguard regards her as his only god.
Even the domineering Eldest Princess and the cool, aloof future Empress fight like cats just to lock her in a gilded cage!
Lu Changwei clutches her chest binder in terror. “Don’t fall for me, it won’t end well. A wage slave only loves gold coins!”
At last, she has enough money. On New Year’s Eve, the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old is reduced to ashes in a great fire.
That day, the entire court goes mad! The tyrant coughs blood and faints, the Grand Secretary’s hair turns white overnight, and Great Qian descends into utter chaos!
Six months later, in the watery towns of Jiangnan.
When the madmen storm a pleasure boat with bloodshot eyes, they find the supposedly dead eunuch in a red dress, stunningly beautiful, cuddling an actor as they listen to music.
The seven top power players completely lose it and draw their swords on each other. “Come home with me!”
Lu Changwei smiles faintly and holds up a debt note from the imperial treasury. “Who dares touch me? The whole realm will collapse at once!”
