Who would’ve thought I would transmigrate into a novel and not just as any character, but as a eunuch?
Worse still, I’m actually a woman disguised as a man—the scheming type who tries to seduce the Emperor and everyone knows how that ends: miserably, of course.
Shao Yin: “Since this is a heroine-centered novel, I just need to cling tightly to the female lead’s thigh and say goodbye to that scumbag Emperor.”
********
Before long, the entire harem was buzzing with gossip:
“I heard the Emperor’s little eunuch might actually be a woman. Someone like that so close to His Majesty—surely she’s plotting to seduce him.”
The dignified Empress said calmly,“Then find a reason to execute her.”
But after meeting Shao Yin, the Empress couldn’t stop holding her hand.
“Xiao Yin, your hands are so soft—perfect for a massage. I’ll ask the Emperor to assign you to my palace instead.”
The stunning Imperial Consort scoffed, “Even a thing like that dares to compete with me for favor.”
Yet the moment she saw Shao Yin, she treated her like a best friend, inviting her for daily spa sessions with a dazzling smile.
“Xiao Yin, come take a look—does my skin look especially smooth today?”
The gentle and affectionate Consort Zhen smiled sweetly,
“So this is the girl everyone’s talking about? I’d like to see her tricks myself.”
And after meeting Shao Yin, she sent her freshly picked lilies with a sisterly grin.
“You’re the one I trust most in this palace. You must accept these flowers.”
Even the lively and clever Concubine Lan chuckled,
“Well, everyone else has met her—I suppose I should too.”
Soon she was offering new silk fabric as a gift.
“This color suits your complexion best. Try it on—let me see how it looks.”
Shao Yin felt deeply moved.
The imperial consorts are all my sisters now. My life is officially safe.

But on the Emperor’s birthday, Shao Yin still hadn’t found the novel’s true heroine.
Utterly exhausted, she decided to just pick one “sister” to stick with and live peacefully in the palace.
Who could’ve guessed as she poured wine, the damned Emperor touched her hand.
The Empress, the Consort, Zhen Fei, Lan Pin, all slammed their cups down in fury!
“How dare he lay a hand on my sister!”
“My best friend!”
“My dearest confidante!”
Shao Yin froze as sparks practically flew through the air and every pair of red-rimmed eyes turned to her.
Shao Yin: “…”
Could it be true what they say online that even girlfriends can get jealous?
