I Reincarnated Into an Explicit Novel and Stole the Male Lead's Concubine

Lin Xi transmigrates into an erotic novel where the male lead relentlessly pursues and ravishes the love interest in ways that would never get past censorship. And Lin Xi has transmigrated as... an inconspicuous servant in the male lead's household.

Every day, he diligently... works, slacks off, and skims a little off the male lead's wealth, planning to save enough silver to escape the estate.

Until he sees the beauty the male lead has recently brought into the household. Fair-skinned and gorgeous, fragile and lovely as a white butterfly, the beauty is kept in the rear courtyard under heavy guard.

Thinking of the inhuman treatment this beauty is going to endure, Lin Xi grabs two chicken legs and climbs over the beauty's wall. The beauty is reclining on a chaise longue, radiating charm. Lin Xi falls in love at first sight. One thing leads to another, and the two get together. Lin Xi no longer wants to run away.

Every day, while the male lead is away, Lin Xi sneaks into the rear courtyard to have an affair with the beauty.

The beauty's childhood name is Lan Jun. Soft and boneless, Lan Jun often nestles in his arms, crying about the male lead's coldness and cruelty. Lin Xi always comforts him, offering sweet words and vows of love, then quietly skims a little off the male lead's meals and sneaks it over to Lan Jun's courtyard.

To elope with the beauty as soon as possible, Lin Xi climbs the ranks in the household, and his monthly pay keeps rising.

Until a eunuch sent by the Emperor sneaks into the beauty's courtyard, bows twice with utmost respect, and addresses him as "Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

Lin Xi, who has just rushed over to elope with the beauty, swallows hard, eyes trembling.

Only then does he realize that the beauty Lan Jun he has been having an affair with every day isn't the love interest of an erotic novel at all. He's the Crown Prince of the realm, recuperating in the male lead's rear courtyard, and a ruthless killer!

Terrified, Lin Xi packs his things and flees that very night. But before he can get out of the city, a huge army surrounds him. The beauty steps out from among the soldiers, of noble imperial blood and breathtakingly beautiful.

The beauty tilts his head and smiles ominously. "Brother Lin Xi, where are you going? You said we'd be together for the rest of our lives. Were you lying to me?"

Lin Xi immediately starts to soothe him. "Sweetheart, my darling, if I say I went out to buy you candied hawthorn sticks, would you believe me?"
