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'.

Zhao Douan followed the Empress out of the carriage, taking his place in the entourage behind Xu Zhenguan, as a "retainer guard."


"Congratulations to Your Majesty the Emperor, on gracing us with your presence..."


The leading Daoist with the square face held a horsetail whisk and respectfully bowed, with many priests following behind.


Years ago, when she was still an Imperial Princess, she had once stayed at the Heavenly Master Mansion, seeking guidance in cultivation from Heavenly Master Zhang.


Therefore, even though she was an Empress, today she wore the garb of Kun Dao.
