I was proposed to by the Final Boss.

Did you ever want to enter your favorite videogame?That is something I always wanted. At least, I remember I did. And the chance was given to me with surprise as I fell onto my death the moment I see my new self.Now, I am Amber, my female Vulpin Mage from the game Inns of Elen, a Sandbox RPG where you can do and be whatever you wanted.And once the beautiful lense of glee and happiness fades... I learned this is a world where my actions do have consequences.Betrayed, cursed to lose all my power, and made a wanted criminal in the Kingdom, now I must recover my lost strength, relearn my spells, and raise higher than I ever did in the game as a threat that looms and chases me is slowly crawling into the light.My only advantage? Bloodless, an Ego sword I found during my save. It has a dull blade, but it levels up, and gains skills and powers based on what I am training.Joined by Karina, the bratty spirit that lives in the sword, and Aurelia, the dragonkin and Tyrant Queen, I will have too clean my name and return to power.But as I rediscover this magical world... the Gates that protect the delicate Veil between worlds are threatening to be open again.

The person with the best martial art skill in the world, whose prestige is unparalleled. The head disciple of TianQing sect, the leading sect of all Six Great sects, and Jianghu’s number one, Ming ChangYan shaoxia.

During a decisive battle, he slipped and fell.

His ten years of cultivation was completely annihilated and reduced to a normal human.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to have fate decide that his life shouldn’t end there, and he survived.

The doctor told him, “To gain back your cultivation, enter the palace as a concubine!”

In order to get the medical herb that was given to the emperor by the XiYu Region, the immortal’s grass, Ming shaoxia could only wear a skirt, apply makeup, endure the humiliation, suffer patiently, and join the palace drama.

Ming ChangYan: This shaoxia is shameless.

Unfortunately, just as he dressed up in drag and entered the palace, he meets the man he once picked up from under a mountain.

…..

Ming ChangYan: I was joking just now…..this is too shameless!

If I were to be found out by him, my (old) number one reputation would go down the drain!
