Lin Xi was bound to the Plot-Filler System and transported into an unfinished ancient-era tale of rival kingdoms. Just when he thought he was about to contend for supremacy, the System informed him: The story route Host drew is to become the tyrant's favorite.
Lin Xi's eyes widened in shock: ... Can I make a living by performing without selling myself?
System: Host, you're overthinking it. To become the tyrant's favorite, you have to stop being human first.
Lin Xi: ?

Lin Xi, who could no longer be human, turned into a colorful white snake and was smuggled by the System into the tyrant's birthday gift.
To gain an extra layer of auspicious protection and save his life, he summoned every ounce of strength in the gift box and twisted himself into the character for "king."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Xi made a dazzling entrance:
A giant character for "ugly" shone brilliantly in the sunlight!
"..."
Amid the suffocating silence, the tyrant gave a cold laugh. "This little thing is quite distinctive..."
Lin Xi: ...
I'm doomed! My mission has barely begun, and already...
The tyrant continued, "I name him Little Clown, and appoint him to accompany the Son of Heaven."
Lin Xi: ?
Who are you calling a clown? Who's the clown?
Oh, it's me :)

Hoping to land on the tyrant's heart as soon as possible (literally), Lin Xi used his slender snake body to fawn over the tyrant and earnestly offer him advice:
The tyrant was cold and dismissive. "Get lost."
Lin Xi scared himself silly looking in the mirror, tied himself into a knot while sleeping, and got his mouth stuck open after sneaking a meatball:
The tyrant watched with great interest. "Reward him."
Lin Xi: ??? This man's taste is a little too rebellious.
The tyrant caught the snake charging at his chest with a headbutt whenever his guard was down, and sneered. "So who's the rebellious one, really?"

Thanks to his natural talent for acting cute (and stupid), Lin Xi successfully began enjoying a life of power and indulgence. But after getting carried away, he was seen in human form by the tyrant.
The tyrant, who feared humans, wore a sinister expression and flatly refused him three times: "What are you? Stay away from me. If you don't change back, get out!"
Lin Xi: ???
So I'm not distinctive when I'm human? What happened to me being the clown on your heart?!
Later...
On the wide dragon bed, the young emperor, cruel by nature, gently toyed with the little white snake's tail and coaxed him tenderly. "Be a good boy, darling. Turn back into a human."
Lin Xi pulled his tail away and tossed his head with icy disdain. Hah, men.
An unfeeling tyrant who lives for a laugh x a walking joke (not really), a goofy and ridiculous darling
