A Cat Eunuch Helps Me Coast Through Palace Intrigue (Transmigrate Into a Book)

Coming soon: I'm Live-Streaming as a Villainess in a Feel-Good Short Drama. The villainess takes down everyone!

After pulling an all-nighter and working herself to death, Yu Xiang transmigrated into a book, bringing along the cat she'd just picked up. She became a villainous cannon-fodder character in an unfinished palace-intrigue novel.

By the time she arrived, she had only three lines left before she was doomed.

System: My condolences (smiles). But every time you rank up, you'll get a chance to change the script. Clear the story and you can go home!

Yu Xiang: ...

Armed with an unfinished script and trapped in a palace full of danger, Yu Xiang “fearlessly” joined the power struggles, clinging to the future boss's leg. But as she clung on, she found herself attached to the future sinister, brutal, all-powerful chief eunuch.

Chief Jin gave her a cold look. “We need to settle the score over what happened at the animal hospital.”

Yu Xiang: ???

Jin Lu smiled faintly. “You're the one who had me sterilized, aren't you?”

Yu Xiang felt a phantom pain.

As the plot went off the rails, Yu Xiang was carried back to his nest. Now she had to spend every day soothing her master, stroking his fur, and sleeping... ahem... accompanying him in bed.

Yu Xiang dug her holes with a clear conscience, while the plot galloped out of control like a wild horse. And then there was Jin Lu, always going against the grain and throwing a wrench in the works. Before long, Yu Xiang saw her side story turn into this:

The original male lead wanted to make her a consort, but Jin Lu promoted her to palace official.

The Empress Dowager wanted to adopt her as a daughter, but Jin Lu appointed her Mistress of the Palace.

Her sworn enemy wanted to send her abroad for a political marriage, but Jin Lu made her chancellor the very next moment.

Everyone in the capital knew that the Ninth Thousand Years was brutal and unpredictable, and that he loved only two things: sliced fish and the little palace maid he'd chosen as his bedmate. The maid was breathtakingly beautiful. Not only did she survive under his hand, she rose through the ranks to become the first female chancellor. Then, after the Rebellion of the Nine Armies, she seized the throne and became empress, achieving unrivaled glory.

Everyone waited for the empress to settle scores after her rise to power, but she never made a move. Then someone spread a story that they'd once seen the empress stroking the Ninth Thousand Years' supple bones in the imperial garden, coaxing him: “I already let you deceive the emperor and defy his authority. What else do you want to settle scores over?!”

1. One-on-one romance with a cute pet and a genuinely impotent eunuch hero.

2. No children. The male lead really is impotent.

3. They dote on each other. The heroine dotes openly, while the hero does it in secret.

Coming soon: I'm Live-Streaming as a Villainess in a Feel-Good Short Drama.

A villainess who takes down everyone!

Yan Zhu was a C-list actress who specialized in villain roles. During a press conference, an audience member threw a razor blade at her, and she was forcibly pulled into a System. Her mission was to play a villainess in feel-good short dramas, create obstacles for the protagonists to overcome, earn tips from the livestream, and raise her feel-good points.

Yan Zhu: I'm familiar with being the bad guy.

System: Fail the mission and you'll receive the [Villainess] label, with no chance of redemption.

Yan Zhu, who dreamed of becoming a leading lady: ...

After all, how could a protagonist be evil? (shrugs)

Just as her career was about to be ruined, the System didn't know that Yan Zhu could see the livestream comments.

World One: [Extreme Cold in the Apocalypse: I Have an Infinite Stockpile Room]

The climax would arrive in ten minutes. Everyone pounded on the door, hoping the male lead would let them in.

Comments: [They'll soon realize the heroine isn't even on the male lead's radar. In her past life, she was the one who threw him outside to freeze to death. Now she wants to break in with a screwdriver. If it were me, I'd let them freeze too!]

Yan Zhu, the original White Moonlight, immediately dropped the screwdriver and ran toward the climax. A moment later, the sound of an excavator approached...

World Two: [The False Phoenix]

“Big Sister, you wouldn't want His Majesty to find out that I'm the one who spends every night with him, would you? After all, you still need my womb to secure your position.”

Comments: [The villainess wants to kill the mother and keep the child. She has no idea her younger sister has spent eighteen years plotting to take revenge and replace her. That's what she gets for doing every evil thing imaginable just because she can bear children.]

Yan Zhu, the original legitimate daughter, poured a bowl of abortifacient down her half-sister's throat. Threatening her? She only wanted to borrow her half-sister's bedroom skills. She could just take the baby!

World Three: [I'm a Hot Mom in the Eighties]

“I'm warning you all! We're splitting up the family. From today on, I'm taking the children, and you can have everything else!” The heroine waved a broom and chased everyone out of the house.

Comments: [The male lead is back from doing business! Soon he'll see his relatives' ugly faces, split the family, get his property back, and build a fortune with the heroine, right?]

Yan Zhu, the original relative, turned around and went straight to the army. “These are my brother's papers. He volunteered for military service. Yes, send him as far away as possible!”

[The Whole Family Can Hear My Thoughts, and I'm in Charge of Being the Egg]

[I'm the Strongest Big Shot in the Cultivation World!]

World N: [The Wife's Revenge]

“I've sent the text saying I'm going on a business trip and invited all our relatives to come celebrate my birthday. The room is full of surveillance cameras. Now, get ready for my revenge.”

Comments: [Hahaha, she finally found out she was being cheated on. I wonder what those ‘relatives’ who helped catch them in bed will look like!]

Yan Zhu, the original cousin, rushed into the room with a camera and frantically filmed the girl on the bed, who was wrapped in a blanket and screaming denials. “Didn't you promise you wouldn't see him again? Why are you sleeping with him again?!”

When she finished, the whole room fell silent.

System: Aah! This is supposed to be a male-lead power fantasy!

Note: The villainess persona serves the original host, who has a protagonist's halo.

The short-drama plot ideas are inspired by things found online. Please notify me if there's an issue, and I'll revise them.

The male lead appears much later.

Theme: Care for animals.
