It was stupid. It was ridiculous but it was true. I had indeed transmigrated. I had read transmigration books more like isekais about being a superhero or a demon lord. But guess what?? Guesss whatt!?? I am a freaking male concubine in some chinese opera like drama. Goodness some girls I hung out with before did read these types of book. It's not even my genre. Why the hell did I transmigrate? And I don't even know what this world is about.
Then I suddenly had a splitting headache. My mouth even tasted something metallic. I crouched down from my position. Then a reel like memories flashed through my mind. I saw various scenarios and life story of the original host. All he did was cry ,kneel and fight.. infront of a particular handsome guy. Turns out he was 'my' husband. Goodness of all things. I had to transmigrate into a BL?? All because we shared a same name?
Yeah. I forgot to tell that we both had the same name Shin Ruyan. Eventhough I did receive some of the og guy's memory. They were not clear. I just saw some traumatic and idiotic scenes and one guy who was handsome but I don't recall it very much. I might if I got to see him in person though. So after pinching myself for the 13th time. I finally snap out of my monologue and look towards that half-shock-stricken maid.
"So cutie, what's going on? Why am I in bed lying with all the bandages draped around my wrists and ankles like a mummy?"
She looks at me utterly confused,"What are you saying, your grace? Don't you remember anything and why are you talking different?"
"I just lost my memories.. I think? Anyways you didn't answer my question" eventhough I did know it was related to that tyrant like boss. I didn't know what caused it as my memory was still hazy.
She started crying again looking terrified," Forgive me your grace. I failed to protect you. This lowly servant deserves to die"
What? Now she was threatening to kill herself too? " Speak! What the hell happened."
She finally confessed," Your grace, You tried to kill yourself by slitting your wrist after His majesty went to the lantern festival even after you tried persuading him with the excuse of drowning in the lake. Thank heavens, you are fine. I was so terrified thinking something grave would befall upon you"
'Well I think its too soon to thank the heavens but what do I know and wait,"Does that guy know, like everyone know I am a man?" ' This was something that had been gnawing me since earlier'.
"Huh, Yes your grace. You have been appointed as a male concubine so I am sure everyone is aware about this information"
Thankgod. I don't have to fake my gender like some cliche trope where the brides are switched due to the rumours of the supposed groom. 'Don't ask me how I know it. I just know it.'
So after enquiring further. I came to know that 'I' am a Godforsaken male concubine appointed as a cheap negotiation tool for my family. 'I' was in favour before but turns out the king soon lost the spark." Ewww! I am supposed to be in love with a dude!??" I scream out loud as I look myself in the mirror with a pale face, starry eyes and pink lips.
