The Fake Eunuch: I Made the Empress Lose Her Soul

A modern chef transmigrates into the Great Yue Dynasty as a eunuch, but not just any eunuch—he's a disowned son of a merchant family, reduced to a lowly gray-robed servant. While other eunuchs are timid, Chen De defies fate and becomes the most ruthless figure in the harem. Once a favored son of the former emperor, he bullied princes and teased imperial consorts, living a life of glory. Now fallen to the bottom, he endures scorn as a latrine cleaner. When the young emperor ascends and the empress dowager fasts to death, the imperial kitchen is helpless. Chen De whips out modern pre-made cuisine, and a dish of Kung Pao Chicken fills the palace with aroma, making the young empress cry with joy and winning over the empress dowager, turning the tide. He slaps down the snobbish steward, recruits a little eunuch follower, and with the backing of the empress dowager and empress, rises from gray-robed servant to the pinnacle of harem power. In this life, even as a eunuch, he will dominate the court and become the puppet master behind the Great Yue throne.
