Liu Zhuo was born into an illustrious family. Graceful and refined, she was the empress of the Liang Dynasty, the mother of all under heaven. One morning, she woke up to find she had become a young actress playing an empress.
Liu Chuo had spent her whole life acting and never once let the mask slip. With her superb acting skills, she made the empress she played go viral online.
She thought that now she had left the deep palace behind, she could finally let loose...
But one stormy night, Liu Zhuo, dressed in a backless gown and fresh from accepting the Best Newcomer Award onstage, found the emperor outside her home. He was drenched, yet still refused to let go of his imperial dignity.
Xiao Ting looked up at his empress, usually so gentle and dignified, who now stood barely dressed.
Liu Zhuo looked down at her emperor, usually so decisive and imposing, who was trembling.
They gazed at each other in silence, their feelings complicated.
To help Xiao Ting adjust to society, Liu Zhuo found him a series of jobs, including security guard, assistant, and a role playing the very Emperor Xuandi of Liang who had restored the dynasty.
"When did I ever have three thousand beauties in my harem?"
"When did I ever neglect court because I was lost in pleasure?"
"Who wrote this book? I shall punish their entire clan for the grave offense of disrespect!"
Liu Zhuo helplessly took the script from Xiao Ting's hands. "Your Majesty is wise. It's time to cook."
Xiao Ting: "..."
Later, just as Liu Chuo was about to put on makeup for a recording, she got a call from the building management saying thick smoke was billowing out of her windows.
On the bed, Xiao Ting, who had been kicked off it, looked both baffled and innocent. "You weren't like this before."
Liu Zhuo: "When you wielded the power of life and death, I had to act the way you liked, in bed and out of it. But times have changed... Your Majesty, you'd better work on your technique..."
Why did I wake up to find my empire destroyed? Why has my empress changed? Who's the man on the screen holding my empress? I've been cuckolded? What does that mean?
This is probably a lighthearted, sweet comedy about an emperor and empress who transmigrate to the modern world. The once-maxed-out king wakes up as a bronze-level player to find his empire gone and his empress changed, then wipes away his tears and adapts to his miserable modern life.
