On the day of Mu Ciyou's twenty-second birthday, he transmigrated into a book!
[System: Beep~ Congratulations, you've transmigrated into the role of a treacherous court favorite and court jester. You can earn money by livestreaming.]
"What's a court jester?" [System: A minister favored and toyed with by the emperor.]
The straight man Mu Ciyou shouted, "I don't want to transmigrate into a book! I want to go home!"
[System: Beep~ Once your character is killed, you'll return to the real world.]
To die and go home, Mu Ciyou embarked on a path of courting death, doing every capital offense imaginable: embezzling, deceiving the emperor, forging an imperial decree, and persecuting loyal officials...
One day, he heard that a palace maid who'd climbed into the emperor's bed had been killed.
That night, two figures tangled together beneath embroidered yellow curtains decorated with dragons.
The next morning, Mu Ciyou clutched his lower back. "I've been violated! I demand compensation!"
[System: Your attempt to court death by offering yourself failed. Compensation: a human-skin mask.]
Mu Ciyou changed his appearance and enlisted to fight the enemy, hoping to die.
The emperor personally led his troops into battle. "Your voice feels so familiar, my dear minister. It's as if an old friend has returned."
A barrage of comments appeared before Mu Ciyou's eyes: [His true identity has been exposed] [He's the old friend who faked his death]
His neck instantly turned red. He clutched his belt. "I'm not me... Really, I'm not..."
**The following scenes are recommended for readers aged 18 and up.**
1. In the twenty-sixth year of Jingxi, Crown Prince Gu Nian'an was playing cuju when he accidentally kicked the ball into the "vital spot" of Mu Ciyou, the Junior Grand Protector.
Mu Ciyou doubled over in pain, covering his crotch with his left hand and hurling the ball back with his right. It hit the crown prince in the forehead.
By coincidence, the old emperor was passing by.
Mu Ciyou was in pain but secretly delighted, waiting for the old emperor to punish him.
The old emperor scolded, "You wretch! The Junior Grand Protector is the sole heir of the Mu family. How can you cut off his family line?"
Gu Nian'an immediately knelt. "Please punish me, Father."
[Comments: Mu Ciyou just scored gold and silver treasures, while Gu Nian'an scored house arrest and a period of reflection.]
2. Gu Nian'an was reflecting in his study, and Mu Ciyou delivered all his meals.
Mu Ciyou gobbled everything down in a flash. "Braised prawns, sweet-and-sour ribs, crispy quail, bird's nest with rock sugar... It's all going into this Junior Grand Protector's stomach."
Only a bowl of rice was left to set in front of the crown prince.
Gu Nian'an struggled to swallow the dry rice. "Mu gege, I'm sowwy."
"Your Highness, one shouldn't talk while eating or..." Before Mu Ciyou could finish, he fainted.
"Someone! Help!" the crown prince cried in alarm.
An investigation revealed that the crown prince's food had been poisoned, but the entire feast had ended up in Mu Ciyou's stomach.
[Comments: Mu Ciyou just scored the privilege of attending the emperor and Gu Nian'an's heart.]
3. His Nth attempt to court death: "A cigarette after the deed"
Mu Ciyou leaned against the headboard, his muscular chest bare. He took a puff from a long-stemmed pipe and blew out a heart-shaped cloud of white smoke.
"Cough! Cough!" Gu Nian'an choked and coughed twice. "When did you pick up this bad habit? Quit at once. You'll damage your health."
At the words "damage your health," Mu Ciyou was overcome with excitement and took several more puffs.
Gu Nian'an wrapped an arm around Mu Ciyou's slim waist. His fingers slid down from Mu Ciyou's abs, while his fiery gaze fixed on Mu Ciyou's handsome face.
A new idea for courting death flashed through Mu Ciyou's mind. He ventured, "If I were to top you, would Your Majesty sentence me to death?"
Gu Nian'an answered in a hoarse, restrained voice, "I would sentence you to death, my dear minister."
Mu Ciyou swiftly rolled over and pinned the ruler of the empire beneath him.
But Gu Nian'an was a step faster. As their positions changed, he pried Mu Ciyou's legs apart and made him straddle him.
"But you'll never top me!"
Mu Ciyou's brow furrowed slightly. His lashes were damp, and saliva ran from the corner of his mouth. Inwardly, he cursed, "You dog of an emperor!"
[A pure-hearted, straight-laced, muscular court jester who wants to die every day VS a younger, scheming emperor who wants to get laid every day]
Also known as: "Did the Court Jester Die Today?"
