A Straight Man Beneath the Beauty

Zheng Tianle, a slacker in the history department, transmigrates into the body of Pei Lingsu, the most beautiful woman in all of the Great Liang, after a laboratory accident. She not only possesses hidden cultivation unrivaled beneath heaven, but is also the daughter of a powerful family at the very top of the aristocracy. As a blood-soaked general, a sinister crown prince, and the heir to the second-greatest clan all pursue her, Zheng Tianle, a straight man through and through, is physically sickened and nauseated. His attempts to keep his distance and stand his ground, along with his bold, masculine manner, are instead mistaken for an aloof pride that keeps everyone at arm's length. The more he spurns them, the more obsessed they become. To make matters worse, his adoptive father is busy plotting a rebellion, while the court is doomed to collapse three years later. Zheng Tianle has no choice but to rely on his half-baked knowledge of history, a grandmaster's instinct for violent solutions, and a straight man's outrageous antics to turn the fate of a chaotic age into a farcical spectacle.
