I Found Out About My Own Scandal in the Comments

Xiao Huairen was knocked unconscious by the empress and left sprawled among a pile of memorials. When he woke up, not only had he forgotten that the empress had hit him, he also discovered that the memorials had turned into a comment section full of unruly commoners.

[Why did the emperor fall for Consort Yang, anyway? What the heck, does he just like what he can't have?]

[1st Floor: The things you can't have will always make you restless. Even shit you can't get your mouth around smells delicious!]

[2nd Floor: Consort Yang is beautiful, with a tiny waist and a curvy backside. The emperor can't get enough of her, haha.]

[Consort Yang puts on fragrance every day. Don't tell me the emperor deliberately gave it to her to stop her from getting pregnant.]

[1st Floor: Haha, probably not. That dog is so excited, maybe it's the opposite, and he's trying to make her infertile.]

[2nd Floor: Nice one, sis. Here's a pen, you write it.]

Xiao Huairen was furious. Insulting his cousin, gossiping about the imperial harem, speaking frivolously, and showing disrespect to his superior: the offender deserved to be granted suicide!

He tore up the memorial. "Investigate! Find out which bastard wrote this!"

Another day passed, and the comments appeared again.

[The emperor really does have rocks for brains. The empress practically spelled it out for him, and he still believes his cousin! He can't do a single thing right. The court and the harem are a complete mess. Blind in both eyes and heart, my God, what a miracle!]

[1st Floor: A meteor shower rained down from the sky and a meteor smashed a giant crater into his head. Do you expect a crater to think?]

[2nd Floor: Better to bring the whole kingdom down with you. The epic romance of King You of Zhou and Bao Si.]

Can't do a single thing right? King You of Zhou?! These ignorant commoners, do they know how busy he is in the imperial study? Do they know he barely sleeps all month? Do they know how much he's done to keep the court in balance?!

He decided to clear his name, but the comments got even nastier.

[Oh my god, you're so pretentious. "We," really?!!]

[What kind of mummy are you? Oh my god, everyone, come look! The old fossil has been reborn.]

[You make it sound so real, but you're just making it all up with that mouth of yours.]

[That's like putting a gold rim on a piss pot. Pretty mouth, though.]

[This guy's way too deep in character. If you're unhappy, why not write fanfiction instead?]

The self-control Xiao Huairen had been so proud of vanished. He was nearly driven into a breakdown. After that, he devoured one juicy scandal after another in the comment section, getting face-slapped again and again.

As for the empress, her comments went like this:

[The empress is way too strong. Even the emperor gets beaten down by her. Go, Yaoyao! Kick his ass!]

[The empress has such a fiery temper. I love her! That whip move was so cool!]

[That Jade Beauty deserved it for running her mouth. Good job beating her!]

[Yaoyao is so fierce. Swing that broadsword!]

Later, he figured it out. He was living inside a book, and behind the virtuous and virtuous-looking women of the harem were faces like these. So he was the little lamb who'd fallen into a wolf's den?

No way. He would awaken, change his fate, and make a comeback!

Theme: Keep clearing his name and getting face-slapped, see reality for what it is and change it
