Lu Youning transmigrated into a world of beastmen, and her whole body came with her.
But this world was nothing like the beastman world she had imagined.
There were no primeval wildernesses filled with towering mountains and ancient trees, no fertile lands dotted with wild fruits and vegetables, and no world without rules.
This was a beastman world that had already developed into a feudal society...
And as soon as she transmigrated, she was forced to land right outside the eunuch quarters, where she could hear screams from within like a pig being slaughtered.
As an undocumented outsider, she had no choice but to enter the palace and serve as a eunuch for a while, hoping to get a legal identity later.
The good news: She successfully took the place of a young eunuch who had just breathed his last, and was sent to serve the highest authority in the palace, the emperor.
The bad news: The emperor did not seem to have a very good temper.
He never smiled. Everyone who served at his side was always trembling with fear, terrified that one small mistake would get them punished. More importantly, the emperor often transformed into his horned-dragon beast form and coiled up inside the main hall. He looked no different from a giant snake.
And Lu Youning was afraid of snakes.
Very afraid.
She was even less willing to look directly at the emperor, but he insisted on having her serve him personally. First, he had her serve tea. Then he wanted her to keep watch at night. He liked to rub her head with his hand, and would not stop until a pair of fluffy ears appeared. Only then would he...
Wait, ears? Fluffy ears?
She wasn't a beastman. Where had those ears come from?

A batch of young eunuchs arrived at the palace, and Huyan Chi paid them no mind. But one fair-skinned, delicate-looking eunuch stood out from the crowd. He looked calm, yet kept fidgeting with the hems and sleeves of his clothes, revealing the fear in his heart.
But everyone in the palace was afraid of him.
Huyan Chi was used to it.
This little eunuch just seemed more afraid of him than most, especially of his beast form.
That was strange.
His beast form was a horned dragon, just one step away from being a true dragon. But after thousands of years, the true dragon beastmen had vanished, living on only in legend. The royal family's horned dragons had taken their place as the object of everyone's love and reverence.
She was actually afraid of his beast form?
Huyan Chi transferred her to his side so he could observe her.
The little eunuch had lovely skin and bright eyes. Though she feared him, her fear was quite different from that of ordinary people. She even dared to mutter complaints about him when she thought he was asleep.
She didn't even know that beastmen had astonishingly sharp hearing. She had no common sense at all.
How interesting.
