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

"Zhenbao actually convened an Imperial Faction gathering?


Such a grand display?... Zhao Douan was secretly astonished.


Was Your Majesty summoning me, taking him along incidentally, or was the summoning primarily for this lad, yet considering this official's dignity before reluctantly including me... Lord Ma looked at the eunuch's face, his enthusiasm and sycophantic eagerness, and felt a surge of jealousy on his gaunt face.


The thoughts of the two men were not for outsiders to know.


Lord Ma immediately rose, made quick arrangements for Haitang and others to stay behind.


He and Zhao Douan did not take a carriage but instead each mounted a horse, and along with the young eunuch, they rode as a trio straight to the Imperial Palace.


Upon reaching the palace, someone was already waiting to guide them straight to the hall where the Imperial Faction had gathered last time.


Zhao Douan was somewhat dazed; this was his second time attending such a gathering.
