His Majesty Can't Possibly Be So Devoted

Yue Jiayin transmigrates into a palace-intrigue novel she has read, becoming a cannon-fodder supporting character with the same name as her own.

The original Yue Jiayin was sentenced to death for framing the heroine, Jiang Wanrou. To save her life, Yue Jiayin pretends to be ugly and stupid during the selection, hoping to be rejected and sent out of the palace.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Li Yuchen keeps her name card and even moves her into a side hall of the Qianqing Palace.

Worse still, Jiang Wanrou has been reborn and sees her as an enemy from her past life.

From an assassination attempt at the imperial hunting grounds to covert battles in the harem, Yue Jiayin relies on her modern knowledge to escape danger time and again.

She discovers that Li Yuchen is not as deeply in love with Jiang Wanrou as the book claims. Instead, he is a lonely, suspicious emperor who can even sense "another world."

From mutual suspicion to honest trust, the two join forces to thwart the Empress Dowager's plot to seize the throne for her biological son, Prince Rui.

In the end, Yue Jiayin lets go of her obsession with leaving the palace and is named empress. Standing alongside Li Yuchen, she makes a life of her own within the palace walls.
