[Goofy, theatrical beauty assassin x possessive, obsessive, scheming eunuch lord]
[Transmigrate into a book x reborn, turning a straight man gay]
Zhuang Fei's finger slipped, and he transmigrated into a political intrigue novel as a disposable assassin.
At the time, the assassin was carrying out a mission: to kill Ye Qing, the powerful and villainous commander of the Western Depot.
He was disguised as Mr. Wolong and intended to get close to Ye Qing, only to be killed by him in the end.
Bad news: Ye Qing was about to arrive.
Zhuang Fei immediately tried to run, only to bump right into Ye Qing.
Ye Qing walked toward Zhuang Fei. Alarm bells rang in Zhuang Fei's head. Should he run or stay?
Running away would confirm his guilt. If he stayed, he'd have to pretend to be Mr. Wolong and become Ye Qing's advisor...
Zhuang Fei decided to play dumb and crossed his eyes.
Ye Qing looked down at him. "Come back to the capital with me."
Zhuang Fei: "Your Highness, this humble citizen isn't Mr. Wolong." (Drooling, cross-eyed.)
Ye Qing: "You are. Don't deny it."
Zhuang Fei: "?" (Oh no, now I'll have to keep acting cross-eyed.)
Ye Qing: "I know you're pretending to be stupid."
Zhuang Fei: "!"

Ye Qing had been reborn. He discovered he was living inside a book, where he was the biggest villain, murderous and capricious. On the day the new emperor ascended the throne, he would be torn apart by five horses and remembered as a villain for all eternity.
Today, when Ye Qing sought out worthy men, he would meet an assassin sent by the crown prince and disguised as Mr. Wolong.
When Ye Qing saw the assassin, he saw a pure white halo like a full moon above the other's head. What was it? Luck?
Ye Qing kept Zhuang Fei by his side, observing the lunar halo above his head every day.
One day, he discovered that absorbing Zhuang Fei's luck could ease his strange affliction.
.
In the imperial garden late at night, Ye Qing pinned Zhuang Fei beneath a pomegranate tree and took a deep breath, absorbing some of his luck.
Zhuang Fei covered his mouth and fled in a panic, then rinsed it out at home for half an hour.
The next day, he was kissed again!
The third day, kissed again!!
The fourth day, kissed again!!!
Zhuang Fei finally realized Ye Qing was using him as a mental energy drink?!
He ran away in the middle of the night, but was caught and dragged back before he could even get out of the city.
From refusing to yield even unto death to learning that a gentleman can bend when necessary.
Zhuang Fei became the top advisor who stayed by the governor's side day and night and shared his bed.
Then Zhuang Fei's boss found him. "Why haven't you killed him yet? If you can't kill him, I'll kill you!"
Zhuang Fei: "I'll do it tonight."
He absolutely couldn't let Ye Qing keep having his way with him!
That night, Zhuang Fei eagerly served Ye Qing, even kneading his shoulders himself.
Ye Qing asked, "Are you willing?"
Willing to do what? Did Ye Qing want something more...? But that couldn't be. He didn't have the equipment. It's fine. I'll just kill him.
After reassuring himself, Zhuang Fei answered, "Yes!"
But things didn't go as smoothly as he'd imagined.
Soon, Zhuang Fei let out a cry. "Damn you, Ye Qing! I'll kill you! You're not even a eun... Mmph!"
Having gotten a taste of it, Ye Qing couldn't let go. He laughed in a low voice. "Come on."

Everyone said Ye Qing was ruthless, controlled the government, and was an utterly evil villain who had to be executed.
But in the end, Ye Qing overturned the government, toppled the royal house, and ascended the throne as emperor, restoring his original body.
Even more astonishingly, Ye Qing married a man as his empress.
Ye Qing held Zhuang Fei in his arms and poured wine into his mouth. "My A-Fei, do you still want to kill me?"
Zhuang Fei: He's a supervillain!
1. Mr. Wolong is a term for a reclusive man of talent. The setting is fictional.
2. The gong was never castrated, before or after being reborn. He has another identity.
3. Both are virgins. There is an age gap, and the gong is six years older than the shou.
4. The romance is the focus, with the plot secondary. There isn't much political intrigue.
