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

"Don't want to see me... Don't want to see me?"


Zhao Douan's smile gradually stiffened on his face, and a string of question marks slowly floated above his head.


Wasn't it... what do you mean, didn't you ask me to come to the Palace to see you, and now you don't want to see me?


Zhao Douan, maintaining a cautious attitude, tentatively asked,


"Is Your Majesty receiving guests, or did you see someone after returning to the Palace?"


The palace maid serving in the sleeping quarters shook her head and said softly,


"Neither, Her Majesty just doesn't want to see."


Having said that, the palace maid, with spirited eyes, looked around and carefully reminded, "It seems like Her Majesty is angry with you, sir."


Zhao Douan felt a headache coming on, but although he lacked romantic experience in his past life, his emotional quotient still told him that under the Empress's feigned indifference, he absolutely must not just leave.
