Ten years ago, when Gu Qingqing was still a saintly little girl, she read a novel.
It featured a tyrannical villain so evil that everyone despised him.
He kidnapped the heroine, tortured the hero, and eventually killed them both.
But the tyrant had suffered a truly tragic childhood.
So while every reader was begging for the tyrant to die on the spot, Gu Qingqing's saintly compassion overflowed. She wrote a long comment and became the only reader who felt sorry for him.
Ten years later, grown-up Gu Qingqing had long forgotten the saintly comment she'd posted.
Then she transmigrated.
She transmigrated into the body of... the chief eunuch serving the very tyrant she'd once pitied?
*
The tyrant had a harem of three thousand beauties, each one breathtakingly beautiful.
Yet he had no interest in them, and spent his days taking pleasure in tormenting his consorts.
So whenever it was time to attend him, consorts from every corner of the palace tried their hardest to bribe Chief Eunuch Gu Qingqing, all so they could avoid spending the night with him.
Gu Qingqing's response: “Anything works for me, as long as the money's right!”
After taking the consorts' money, Gu Qingqing gave them advice.
So one beauty had a stomachache today, another Noble Lady caught a cold tomorrow, and the day after... The tyrant began to realize something was wrong.
*
It was another night when one of the consorts was scheduled to attend him. When Gu Qingqing told the tyrant that the consort had sprained her ankle, he suddenly let out a cold laugh, a murderous glint flashing in his gloomy eyes.
Tyrant: “Not one of the women in my harem is healthy. Since they're all useless, cut them all down.”
Gu Qingqing, who had taken their money and given them advice: “????”
She hurried to plead that the beauties didn't deserve such a punishment, but the tyrant's bloodshot eyes turned toward her. “I need someone to warm my bed tonight.”
Gu Qingqing glanced down at the long sword at her throat. “...I'll go call the beauties over right away!”
Tyrant: “Don't bother. You will do.”
Gu Qingqing: “!!!”
No way! A chief eunuch attending the emperor comes with an extra fee!!

A timid, money-loving cutie x a cruel, murderous tyrant
The tyrant is a real tyrant. He does whatever he wants, and kills people whenever he's in a bad mood. He's the kind who could wreck his whole country at any moment, so don't expect him to think or act like a normal person.
