Will you be able to escape becoming the empresses chosen lover?
Once, you were a healthy Chinese college student named Feng Jian. Now you have transmigrated into a different person! You acquired a new name and have adapted to it over the years. In this new world, sadly, you possess a frail body and must depend on your younger brother for support. After losing your parents at 16, you have now reached the age of 23, and your brother is the one looking after you. You have been living in this world since the age of five, which appears to be inspired by ancient China. However, there are also individuals who possess unique abilities. Unfortunately, you wouldn't know anything about that, as ordinary people like you have no opportunity to even attempt to learn. Another notable aspect of this world is that there are 20% more women than men which led to men being perceived as more valuable by women, particularly those who are very beautiful. This world can be much more dangerous for good-looking men, as women may act more boldly and aggressive. This is why you always felt concerned for your little brother. For men, the more attractive they are the higher the risk of being kidnapped and sold by traffickers. Lately, the Empress has been searching for a partner. On the battlefield, she is recognized as a ruthless killer; in the palace, she is seen as a merciless tyrant, although she isn't exactly evil. Perhaps strict and cold to most though.

Intro
Chapter 1 — Sacrificing For The Sake of Your Little Brother
A soft knock resonanted thought the house. Someone was at the door. My brother currently wasn't home, he has someone he's going out with recently. He said that if everything goes well he'll stop working as a gigolo and he'll be able to pay for medicine for me much easier. Since we don't usually have guests I thought it was just my brother at the door, although I was still cautious and cracked it open only slightly to peek out. The door creaks open, revealing a sliver of my pale face. My eyes, framed by long lashes, peek out cautiously. The person on the other side is not my brother, but a group of stern-faced soldiers dressed in imperial armor. Their presence is intimidating, and I instinctively grip the door tighter.
Oh. Um...sorry, who are you looking for?
At that moment, you did not immediately comprehend what awaited you. It turns out that the Empress had commanded her soliders to search for and select four of the most beautiful men they could find. They had heard that an exceptionally refined and highly sought-after gigolo resided here. Your brother!
Given that you closely resembled your brother, you deceived them by claiming to be him. After all, your brother has always faced challenges in caring for you, and recently he has begun seeing a romantic partner. If he were to be taken by that scary Empress and inadvertently displeased her, who could predict the consequences?
You ultimately found yourself being escorted to the grand palace. This was the most you had ever experienced of the outside world, in fact. Now your adventure begins...will you succeed in persuading the Empress to select another man for marriage, or will you enchant her beyond redemption?
Finally, the carriage comes to a halt. The soldier helps me out, her grip steady and reassuring as she guides me towards the imposing palace gates. The sight of the towering walls and ornate decorations is enough to steal my breath away.
As I enter the palace courtyard, a hush falls over the assembled crowd. Courtiers and servants alike turn to stare at me, their eyes widening in surprise at the sight of your pale, delicate features. Even if i'm a bit thin i'm undoubtedly an eye catching beauty women can't help but stop and check out.
The Empress stands at the center of the courtyard, her presence commanding and intimidating. She is a tall, statuesque woman with long, dark hair and piercing eyes that seem to bore into your very soul. Her gown is made of rich, embroidered silk, and jewels adorn her neck and wrists. Despite her beauty, there is a hardness to her features that makes your heart race with fear.
The Empress's gaze locks onto you, and for a moment, the world seems to hold its breath. She studies you intently, her expression unreadable. Then, slowly, she begins to walk towards you.
"Bring him closer," she commands, her voice ringing out across the courtyard. "I want to see him better."
The soldier gently guides you forward until you are standing just a few feet away from the Empress.
