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

When Zhao Douan's firm voice fell, Xu Zhenguan clearly froze for a moment.


A blush mixed with irritation rose to her icy, snow-like complexion, instinctively wanting to rebuke, "Impudent."


But when she met Zhao Douan's sincere and forthright gaze, the scolding got stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down.


Such a thought uncontrollably leaped out.


In Xu Zhenguan's view, the so-called "Your Majesty's Lu Ding" was just another joke from this foul-mouthed fellow.


Strangely enough, if anyone else dared to make such jokes three times in a row, her heart would be filled with extreme disgust.


Yet Zhao Douan had done so repeatedly and she had never truly become angry.


Xu Zhenguan did not know that this was also a sort of "broken windows effect".


From the moment Zhao Douan first boldly confessed and she did not punish him, Mr. Zhao obtained the privilege to be "oily and slick" to a small extent in front of the monarch.
