Xie Xu was unlucky enough to transmigrate into an erotic novel.
In the novel, the protagonist, who shares his name, is the crown prince of the Chao Kingdom, and is ravaged day and night by a crowd of men.
The crown prince of Chao was born with a fate of loneliness and loss.
His mother died when he was three, his father when he was fifteen, and as soon as he took the throne, the kingdom was struck by disasters both natural and man-made. In private, the ministers all called him a disaster star reborn.
And the original crown prince had not only a terrible fate, but a terrible character as well.
Because he neglected the affairs of state day after day, he was eventually overthrown by Xie Jie, the regent of Chao and the original crown prince's own uncle.
He was also bound hand and foot and sacrificed to a legendary evil god, beginning a plot in which he was locked in a dark room and subjected to sexual abuse by all manner of evil gods.
When Xie Xu transmigrates into the story, the old emperor has just died, and the inhumane plot has yet to begin.
Xie Xu is overjoyed and vows to change the plot and turn the erotic novel into a triumphant comeback story.
From then on, he diligently governs the kingdom. He also wins Xie Jie over, sharing robes and a bed with him, drinking together, becoming sworn brothers, and living a delightful life.
And so, instead of being cursed and dragged out by a crowd of ministers to be sacrificed, he is now tearfully begged by a crowd of ministers to go out and be sacrificed.
Once the doors of the temple close, Xie Xu sits in the darkness and reflects on what, exactly, he did wrong.
The next moment, candles flare to life. He sees Xie Jie, dressed in splendid robes and seated on the shrine, with two dragon horns growing from his head.
Xie Xu suddenly understands.
He takes off his shoe and hurls it at the other's face.
According to popular rumor, ever since His Majesty married a deity, the Chao Kingdom has enjoyed favorable weather and its people have lived in peace and prosperity.
Deep inside the temple, Xie Xu is caught between agony and ecstasy on the shrine.
The good news: the evil gods described in the book never appeared.
The bad news: those evil gods are all incarnations of a certain wicked dragon, and there is more than one of them.
