After Transmigrating as a Lotus Spirit

Rong Mu transmigrated into ancient times and became a lotus spirit. Refined, elegant, and ethereal, he is presented by an old monk to the "Madman Emperor" to help soothe the ruler’s violent temperament. His ultimate mission? Curb the Emperor’s indiscriminate killing spree and lower the body count.

Rong Mu: "...Don't bully me just because I’m a delicate flower!"

On his very first night, Rong Mu transforms into human form to flee. However, his new body is so weak and clumsy that he nearly face-plants right back into his own lotus vat.

To make matters worse, the legendary tyrant unexpectedly doubles back.

"An assassin?" 

Fearing for his life, Rong Mu blurted out a lie he would regret for two lifetimes: "Wait! It’s a misunderstanding! I’m... I’m the newly appointed Consort!"

Shang Cizhou knew exactly how many "decorative vases" he kept in his harem. Usually, those ornaments were too terrified to breathe in his presence, but this one? This one was a bold-faced liar.

Intrigued, the Emperor decided to keep him around. One day, he’d order servants to fish koi out of the pond just to tickle Rong Mu’s feet. The next, he’d kick him outside to "sunbathe" under the scorching imperial sun. Strangely, instead of withering away, "Consort Rong" flourished, becoming more radiant by the day.

Shang Cizhou had never managed to keep a single thing alive before. Though his new "pet" did nothing but daze out, admire flowers, and feast on imperial delicacies, having him around made the Emperor feel unusually refreshed. 

So what if he’s an assassin? He’s so clumsy that even if I gave him ten years, he’d never manage to land a strike.
