【“With Eunuch Cao's retirement, wuxia dramas have been set back at least twenty years!”】
Cao Zhengtian, a powerful official of the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guards, transmigrates to the modern era. But as soon as he arrives, the System activates its return protocol and prepares to send him back to the Ming Dynasty.
Should he stay and become a Best Actor, earning millions a year, or go back to being a eunuch with nothing between his legs?
Is that even a question?
Good news: Cao Zhengtian has been promoted! After more than a decade of hard work, he's finally become the Director of the Directorate of Ceremonial and the head of the Eastern Depot!
Bad news: Cao Zhengtian gets so excited that he drops dead on the spot!
Good news: Cao Zhengtian doesn't stay dead. His soul transmigrates into the modern era, and he's finally free of his eunuch identity!
Bad news: Cao Zhengtian has gone from a powerful official to an unknown extra at Hengdian World Studios!
Where's my Ming Dynasty?
Where's my gold and silver?
Where are my antiques and paintings?
Where are my adopted sons and grandsons?
And... and... where's my emperor?
Cao Zhengtian is close to tears!
What's there to do here?
Anything at all?
Huh? There really is!
【Ding!】
【Host's soul does not belong to this time and space. Return protocol initiating. Time until return: 72 hours!】
“Going back wouldn't be so bad, but can I bring my bird with me?”
【No!】
“Then there's no way I'm going back! I've decided: I'm staying to become a Best Actor!”
