One Hundred Thousand Vegetable Group

Zhao Du'an, a government official leading a cautious life, finds himself transported to another world where he becomes the favored 'pretty face' of a female emperor and an oppressive, power-abusing villain. Before he can relish the moment, he faces mortal danger for releasing a national criminal. Cornered and desperate, he plans to soothe the female emperor to seek mercy, only to discover his 'leading gigolo' role is a sham. 
Worse still, his notorious reputation prompts officials and heroes alike to impeach and eliminate him; and martial artists and clerical magicians consider him a disgrace. Overwhelmed, Zhao Du'an decides it's better to stop being human to survive.
Starting by betraying his allies, he becomes the Emperor's top lackey. Years later, amidst heavy snowfall in the capital, the female emperor Xu Zhen Guan sighs atop the city tower, 'It was supposed to be a pretend companionship, how did it turn real...'
Also known as 'Deceiving and Flattering at the Court of Great Yu', 'The Record of a Villain Going White'.

The Empress's No.1 Lackey

"Your Majesty…" Zhao Douan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he subconsciously shrank back.


"…" Xu Zhenguan couldn't help but feel exasperated, thinking to herself that Zhao was usually so bold. Back in the palace, he even dared to confess his feelings for her.


His eyes weren't that honest either, so why was he turning into a coward today?


"I order you to come and sit beside me," she said, stressing her words.


Zhao Douan had no choice but to steel himself, stand up, and sit down on the small couch next to the Empress, keeping a certain distance.


"Come a bit closer," Xu Zhenguan sighed and patted the spot beside her.


"Oh." Zhao Douan grew even more suspicious, sensing that today's Empress was a bit strange.


His nerves tensed as he carefully shuffled closer and sat down by her side.


Being too close, as soon as he sat down, he acutely felt a wave of heat.
