Yan Zheyun was born and bred to be a winner. His parents were on the Forbes’ List, he was the valedictorian of his graduating class at the top university in the country, and the icing on the cake was being voted ‘school grass’ four years in a row by his peers. And now, at just twenty-five, Yan Zheyun was the proud chairman and CEO of his very own tech company. 

But what should have been the happiest day of his life turned into the worst when he heard a strange robotic voice while crossing the road for coffee, just because he couldn’t wait for his secretary to return from the photocopying room.

And then he died. In a very boring, very run-of-the-mill car accident. 

…except maybe he didn’t. 

The first thing Yan Zheyun thought after he opened his eyes and found himself in a bedroom that looked like the set of one of those inner palace dramas was: Wow, coffee wasn’t worth it.

The second thing he thought after he realised he was now in a historical BL novel and had transmigrated into the body of a tragic beauty who was (about to be) used and abused by his multiple lovers was: I must have opened my eyes with the wrong technique, let me try again…nope, still here. Well. F**k. 

From CEO to lowly slave, Yan Zheyun couldn’t believe his luck. Stuck in a foreign world and surrounded by crazy tops (respectively A.K.A ‘The Childhood Friend’, ‘The General’s Son’, ‘The Crown Prince’, ‘Some Other Prince’, ‘That Creepy Duke’ etc.), Yan Zheyun realised that his one day’s experience as CEO had not prepared him adequately for this new life of misery. 

But he wasn’t the sort to give up without a fight so…Yan Zheyun resolutely made up his mind to stay away from the terrifying romantic plot line, try and write himself a new political plot line, and while at it, hug some big thighs, curry some favour with the powerful.  

And in a dynastic monarchy, whose thighs would be a better choice for hugging than the emperor himself? 

Liu Yao: …This Sovereign permits you to hug other parts too.

From CEO to Concubine

Noble Consort Li's face turned an interesting shade of purple. Good. Yan Zheyun wasn't in the mood for their petty squabbling. He'd tried his best to stay out of the line of fire but since they kept insisting on involving him, he wasn't beyond dealing misery around with a shovel.

What did they, did everyone in this stupid place expect? For him to take their insults quietly without causing any fuss? To allow them to make light of circumstances that he hadn't been able to control, just because he hadn't been fortunate enough to transmigrate into the body of a powerful noble, or even better yet, the emperor?

Fat chance. If they wanted to cause him trouble, he was happy to retaliate in kind.

Surprisingly, instead of Noble Consort Li, it was Noble Consort Dou who tried to downplay the severity of the situation. Her usual stance was to remain silent on most matters that didn't call for her immediate input, so Yan Zheyun had assumed she would proceed as such.
