Gu Yinian transmigrates into a book.
The good news: he’s become a prince consort, holding a stunning princess in his arms.
The bad news: the princess is a man, and the villainous tyrant who will ascend the throne in the story!
According to the plot, the tyrant is about to castrate him.
As the tyrant’s slender, jade-like hand moves closer and closer to a certain part of his body, Gu Yinian’s heart nearly leaps into his throat.
In desperation, he shouts, “My lady, wait! I forgot to tell you, I suffer from impotence!”
The tyrant pauses and gazes at him dangerously with beautiful eyes. “If that’s so, why did you marry me?”
To save his life, Gu Yinian makes up an excuse on the spot, swearing it’s true. “Naturally, because I fell in love with you at first sight. I couldn’t bear the thought of you being humiliated beneath another man, so I wanted to bring you home and give you a good life!”
Lying is easy. Keeping up the lie is a living hell.
To make his lie believable, Gu Yinian is forced to play the lovesick fool, madly in love with the tyrant, crazy about the tyrant, and banging his head against the wall for the tyrant. When the tyrant says he’s hungry, Gu Yinian gets up and cooks. When the tyrant says he’s cold, Gu Yinian climbs into bed to warm it. When the tyrant says he wants to take a romantic bath together, Gu Yinian immediately strips naked…
Wait, hold on. Why would a man like the tyrant want to take a romantic bath with him?
At long last, after countless trials and tribulations, the tyrant successfully claims the throne!
Thinking he’ll finally be free of pretending to be a lovesick fool and serving the tyrant hand and foot, Gu Yinian is overjoyed inside, though his face is full of sorrow.
“Since you’re a man and now the emperor, I can’t very well keep you here. I only hope you’ll think of me from time to time after you return…”
Gu Yinian thinks the tyrant, with his cold, heartless nature, will turn and leave without a backward glance.
But the tyrant seems to have expected this. He pulls Gu Yinian into his arms, his voice tender and affectionate, like honey laced with poison.
“Since you love me so deeply, my husband, you shall come with me to the palace and marry me.”
Shocked, Gu Yinian finally blurts out the truth. “You’re a man! I don’t want to marry you!”
The tyrant chuckles and leans in to whisper in his ear. “You don’t know this, husband, but you suffer from impotence. A man is precisely what suits you.”
Gu Yinian: “…” So this is what it means to bring a rock down on your own foot.
Even more terrifying, despite being a man, he’s been diagnosed as pregnant with the tyrant’s baby!
Gu Yinian, who gets caught halfway through fleeing with his pregnant belly: ) He’s completely given up and lies down peacefully like a corpse.jpg
