Five Years as a Dandy in Ancient Times: Poetry Stuns the Empress into Regretting Her Past Plot:

Lin Chuan, a modern office worker, woke up one day in ancient times—only to find himself bound to a childhood engagement with Empress Ye Zhao! To dump this "hot potato" marriage, he decided to pretend to be a dandy. For five years, he drank, gambled, and lived like a wastrel, his reputation in the gutter—all waiting for the Empress to break off the engagement first. But then a rival tricked him into a brothel. Desperate, he recited *Prelude to Water Melody*, a poem from his previous life—and it blew the place up! Lian Yue, the top courtesan, immediately took off her jade hairpin and handed it to him, blushing: "I’d love to grind ink for you." And Ye Zhao, hiding behind a screen and watching secretly, trembled as she clutched her handkerchief—that "good-for-nothing fiancé" she’d despised for five years was actually a genius who wrote "May we all be blessed with longevity"! Just as Lin Chuan was smugly thinking his "dandy act" was working, the Empress’s edict came crashing in: "From today, the engagement is off—*wait, no*—we’re getting married!" Caught between the gentle courtesan and the domineering Empress, Lin Chuan suddenly realized: the "good-for-nothing" he’d pretended to be for five years had become the most wanted man in the capital... But he had no idea—behind the Empress’s "regret" was a bigger secret: she’d known he was faking it *from the start*?
