After transmigrating to Great Zhou, Su Changge opens his eyes to find himself bound in the eunuch's chamber, with a cold blade already at his side.
At the last possible moment, the cold-blooded empress storms in with her army. Not only does he keep his manhood, he also activates the Nation-Ruining Enchantress Governance System and becomes the only personal eunuch by the empress's side who doesn't have to be castrated.
But Su Changge soon discovers that this cushy life is not only hard to swallow, it could cost him his life at any moment.
The empress dotes on him, but her possessiveness is terrifying. If he seems too clever or too powerful, she might have his legs broken and lock him away in the inner palace.
So when the chief eunuch frames him, he doesn't argue. He simply says through tearful eyes:
"This servant is at fault. Your Majesty, please don't get angry on my account..."
The next moment, the empress flies into a rage, and the powerful chief eunuch is dragged off to be slowly sliced to death!
From then on, Su Changge acts meek by day to win her favor, then redeems cultivation techniques and secretly practices martial arts by night. He tells a story in passing, and the empress has gunpowder made. He casually mentions taxes, and the court launches sweeping reforms.
Everyone thinks he's merely a sickly, treacherous eunuch who uses his looks to throw the palace into chaos.
But no one knows that this canary, held in the empress's palm, is quietly sharpening his sword.
