Lin Chuan, a modern corporate slave, stayed up all night finishing a novel about a "villainous prince consort who dies in three chapters." When he wakes up, he's shocked to find himself in the novel—as that cannon-fodder prince consort about to be executed for treason! He plans to play nice and lay low to survive, but soon makes a terrifying discovery: his "inner thoughts" are being "monitored in real time" by the Empress, her secret guards, and even the maids. Mocking the Empress's "ice-cold face like his former boss" gets him pinned to the dragon chair for interrogation; daydreaming about "running away at midnight" has secret guards blocking his way at the palace gate; even his secret worry about the Empress staying up late to approve memorials—"her eyes are as red as a rabbit"—is heard loud and clear by her. While he's scrambling to hide his true thoughts, he's forced into palace conspiracies: concubines framing others, powerful ministers seizing power. Worst of all, the Empress, hearing the softness hidden in his complaints, is slowly falling for this "duplicitous" prince consort? Lin Chuan panics: I just wanted to survive—how did I turn the Empress into a fangirl?
