Novel List

Lin Nanjing transmigrates into a clichéd harem drama novel as the emperor’s close eunuch—a role destined for cannon fodder.

Good news: He’s temporarily not in life-threatening danger.

Bad news: He’s a fake eunuch, and if discovered, it’s off with his head.

Lin Nanjing: "..."

Holding scissors, he trembles slightly.

"I can’t do it… I just can’t."

In the imperial study, Emperor Li Chengqian rages after receiving a petition from the general asking him to take concubines and secure heirs.

“When did I ever need him to dictate whom I favor in the harem?”

The courtiers immediately kneel in panic. Meanwhile, Lin Nanjing kneels while furiously ranting in his mind:

[Power-hungry much? The audacity to suggest the emperor take concubines—you must have a death wish!]

Li Chengqian nods secretly, appreciating this little eunuch’s perceptiveness.

Suddenly, inspiration strikes:

[Wait, there’s a deeper reason here!]

[Wow! So it turns out the general has secretly harbored feelings for the emperor! Unable to serve him directly as a man, he sent his sister to the palace instead.]

Li Chengqian’s expression cracks.

How dare he covet the imperial body?!

[He even kept the emperor’s worn socks under his pillow, treasuring the scent.]

Lin Nanjing is gleefully gossiping, but the emperor, enraged, slams the memorial and storms off to the general’s residence.

Lin Nanjing, confused: "Where’s he off to now?"

The Emperor: "Find! That! Sock!"

Li Chengqian prides himself on his devotion to his one true love.

Lin Nanjing: [Oh, please. More like a fragile, obsessive crush.]

Li Chengqian, annoyed: "Am I that kind of person?"

Lin Nanjing: [It’s because the emperor resembles his first love so much—no wonder his crush is so fixated.]

Li Chengqian: Stop! I don’t want to hear it anymore!

Between rumors of infidelity and replacement love, the dignified emperor becomes increasingly numb. Staring at the culprit’s handsome, fair face, his thoughts twist:

“Take him away! Twenty lashes!”

Lin Nanjing grows wary of the emperor’s “perverse” tendencies, constantly finding excuses to strip his pants and oversee punishment.

One day, he pleads shamelessly, "Your Majesty, could you please stop pulling down this servant’s trousers?"

Li Chengqian recalls the scene, his expression stern: "No."

Lin Nanjing: [Perverted dog emperor, why do you keep staring at a eunuch's… it’s already flat as a pancake!]

Li Chengqian smiles darkly. "Pervert? Let me show you real perversion."
