Chen Yue isn't very sharp. He's a little eunuch assigned to clean the Cold Palace.
After his godfather dies, he worries he'll have no one to rely on, so he spends all his savings to buy his way into the Noble Consort's palace.
He has often heard that the Noble Consort is the emperor's favorite. Once inside, Chen Yue discovers that it's true. The bedchamber has bricks of gold by the tens of thousands, walls of white jade, and a ceiling of golden-thread nanmu. It's magnificent, extravagant beyond measure.
Chen Yue is instantly dazzled. Then he discovers a shocking secret: the emperor has never set foot in the Noble Consort's bedchamber, and the consort's favor is in name only.
Yet the Noble Consort's chambers are brightly lit every night, filled with mournful songs...
Chen Yue figures the Noble Consort must be lonely. And he's a fake eunuch.
If he can ease the Noble Consort's loneliness, won't he rise straight from a lowly eunuch to a powerful one?
Chen Yue thinks this is a perfect plan, so that night he climbs into the Noble Consort's bed. But no matter how carefully he planned, he never imagined that the Noble Consort... was actually a man!
The insatiable "Noble Consort" behind him grabs his ankle as he tries to flee, drags him back, and pins Chen Yue beneath the covers again. His voice is low and languid. "Little eunuch, I'm not done easing my loneliness."
Chen Yue fumes to himself: You damn little pervert! One day I'll report you to the emperor! I'll be a hero of the realm!
The Li imperial family has a secret that must never get out: every emperor has suffered from a split soul, with two different personalities living in one body.
Li Mian hates that the other person in his body likes dressing as a woman and occupies the Noble Consort's place in the imperial harem. He finds it disgusting and, when in control, has never set foot in the harem.
Until one night, he suddenly wakes up to find a pretty little eunuch in his arms. Furious, Li Mian is about to kill him.
But the little eunuch sleepily hugs him back, kisses him on the mouth, and mutters, "Don't forget to give me the jade bracelet tomorrow..."
Li Mian falls silent, thinking how revoltingly peculiar that other person's taste is.
From then on, however, he often forces himself to wake up and dress as a woman, using the Noble Consort's identity to claim the little eunuch's body, night after night. Just as Li Mian thinks he'll eventually tire of the little eunuch, the little eunuch runs away.
Enraged, Li Mian orders a massive manhunt.
But when the guards bring the little eunuch back, he suddenly rushes in front of Li Mian, crying and sniffling as he shouts, "Your Majesty, I must report the Noble Consort for being a pervert! He has defiled the imperial harem and deserves death!"
Li Mian: "..."
Chen Yue realizes no one has answered for a while. Trembling, he looks up and sees a pair of eyes fixed on him coldly, their expression almost amused.
Terrifying. Exactly the same as the Noble Consort's.
He faints on the spot.
