My Sickly Emperor Is Irresistible

◆◆◆◆

When she, a woman of cool, aloof temperament and gentle elegance, transmigrates into the body of the notoriously brutal and lecherous “Third Prince” of Xue Ni, a grand age of phoenix cries across the realm begins!

Xue Jingfeng, the infamous “XX Prince” whose name makes the whole country tremble, is a spoiled, brutal wastrel who cannot read a single character and delights in tormenting court officials. His wicked deeds since childhood are too numerous to record.

They say he never attends to anything important or appears at court. Every day, he is either flirting with handsome men or on his way to flirt with handsome men. He is nothing but a useless prince.

Ever since he came to his senses, court officials and other princes have condemned him every few days. Even his beloved father and mother, the emperor and empress, are furious at his lack of promise and endlessly lament it. In the whole Celestial Empire, even the dogs probably look down on him.

Only after she became “him” did she discover that this debauched prince, who was skilled at eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, was actually… her, disguised as a man?

Well… at least she had the right idea about liking handsome men. It was just a little mix-up over gender that earned her the “prince who loves men” reputation. So she stayed calm, ignored it, and did her best to restore her good name. But…

“Third Prince, may I ask which young master you’d like summoned to attend you tonight?”

At that, she could no longer stay calm. She roared, “What’s with this courtyard full of crippled and sick men waiting to attend me? Can someone explain?”

◆◆◆◆

Here are the male consorts in the courtyard:

The first consort is beautiful and pure, the loyal-dog type whose heart, lungs, liver, and guts are all laid bare at a glance, with nothing hidden. He can cook, and he can even fix a roof. This prince is very satisfied, except… “I’m standing right in front of you, and you completely ignore me. What? You’re blind?! No way. Those eyes of yours are so misty and lovely, and you’re blind?” Alas, this prince is heartbroken.

The second consort is bewitching and seductive, an absolute beauty who can set men and women alike ablaze with a single glance, the sort who’d die beneath a peony and still consider it a life well spent. This one leaves this prince at a loss. She is indifferent in temperament, heart, and desire, and utterly bland all over. But this consort is so lascivious: his eyes, heart, and whole self are lewd. Uh, in short, this consort is so lustful and bloodthirsty that I can hardly handle him. Still, he brightens up the courtyard, so I won’t say too much. I can only try to reason with him. But… “Second consort, I’ve talked myself hoarse. Why are your eyes drooping with sleep? What?! You’re deaf? You couldn’t hear me at all? Then all that breath I wasted was for nothing!” I’m furious. This prince is leaving.

The third consort is ethereal and upright. Just seeing his back can set one’s imagination running wild, but looking at his face makes one regret ever having entertained such profane thoughts about him. This immortal seems rather interesting to me. I heard he often sits alone in a corner, silent and unsociable, so I volunteered to visit him. But… “Third consort, I’m trying to have a heart-to-heart with you. Why do you just smile without saying a word? Oh, you’re mute. That’s all right. There isn’t a single normal person in this prince’s courtyard…” Calm down. This prince is calm now.

The fourth consort, to be continued…

There are ten consorts in this courtyard, and male favorites are everywhere, yet every one of them is missing a part or two. Don’t expect a single one to be whole. They all hate the “Third Prince” to the core. She has no choice, truly no choice. All she can do is send them away one by one, letting them leave her world with their virtue intact.

If my heart is not in it, then I’ll let you go!

Note: The Third Prince is a woman disguised as a man. This is a proper female-lead story. There are plenty of handsome men along the way: the best get hired, and the rest are eliminated.
