Zhao Du'an lived a cautious life as a civil servant, always walking on thin ice. But after transmigrating, he found himself as the pampered boy toy of the Empress—an arrogant, domineering villainous minister. Before he could even celebrate, he was sentenced to death for letting a national traitor escape. 

With nowhere to turn, he planned to whisper sweet words to the Empress and beg for mercy—only to discover that his so-called "role" as a favored consort was a complete sham. To make matters worse, his notorious reputation had already sealed his fate:
The entire court was eager to impeach him.
Righteous warriors across the land sought to eliminate him.
