Reincarnated as Diaochan in a world where women rule the Three Kingdoms - Chapter 1

 〈Chapter 1〉 Prologue

A grand banquet hall.

Tables filled with all kinds of liquor and delicacies, nobles dressed in silk, chandeliers made of magic stones worth as much as a house emitting light, and lanterns similar to those in modern karaoke rooms. Outside, a band was playing lively music.

"Oh, is that really a human's appearance?"

"Truly lewd, his face is like a handsome man descended from heaven, but his body is like a lecher seducing females!"

"And that dance skill! Is he really the son of a renowned minister? I can't stand it; it's making me wet down there!"

And in the midst of it all, there was a man dancing in a sheer winged outfit. That was me.

"Hah, no need for snacks. I could drink all the liquor here just by watching that dance!"

"Look at that luscious crotch. Doesn't it seem a bit bigger?"

Hehehe.

Ugly old women raised the corners of their mouths with chilling smiles. I almost cursed but held back, swallowing all my emotions. No matter how much this world is gender-reversed, no one wants to be with Halcas. But if I let that out, I might really end up rolling around with those ugly old women. So I endured, putting on the seductive smile I learned at home and moving more passionately.

"Nice!"

As my movements became wilder, the winged outfit fluttered more, revealing more skin. The cheers grew louder, and all eyes were on me.

At that moment, I noticed someone moving without looking at me. Among the old and unattractive women, there was a woman who looked to be in her 30s changing her seat. I knew who she was. She was my stepmother who had taken care of me for seven years.

Minister Of The Masses Wang Yun (司徒 王允)

A position just below the chancellor, who can be considered the closest to the emperor. Although it is a very high position, currently, she couldn't fully utilize that position. The reason was the person at the highest position in this banquet hall.

Chancellor Dong Zhuo (相國 董卓)

Originally, the chancellor is known as the highest position under the emperor, the only one who can hold a weapon in front of the emperor. But the current emperor, Emperor Xian, is a mere figurehead and only nine years old, so Dong Zhuo's position is above the emperor. No matter how much Dong Zhuo seized control of the court after rescuing and enthroning Emperor Xian from the rebellion of the Ten Eunuchs, no one could oppose her. At that moment, their entire family would be annihilated. No matter how much I, as the son of a minister, was dancing in such attire in front of people with much lower positions than her, it was all related to Dong Zhuo.

My stepmother, Wang Yun, was a loyal subject of this country for over 30 years. But when Dong Zhuo forcibly placed Emperor Xian on the throne and arbitrarily changed the center of the country, there was no way she, who had great loyalty to the country, could stay still.

So she decided to use her adopted son. My appearance was so beautiful that even the moon would hide in shame among the clouds, and my body was no different from a lecher, as those old women had said. So she taught her son dance and song, and how to please women with poetry and chess. For some reason, I had no talent for swords or magic, but I excelled in these things and achieved skills as if I had learned them for decades.

"Shake it more! Hehehe!"

...It was really regrettable to use such talent among those old women, but thinking of Dong Zhuo, who would be talking with my mother up there, I erased those thoughts. She was very beautiful.

Soon, the song ended, and the dance came to a close. I bowed my head modestly, as if thanking them for their kindness, even though I didn't feel that way. And then, I heard a fascinating and very greedy voice from above.

"What is your name?"

Unconsciously, I raised my head and looked at the source of the voice. Long black hair. Eyes filled with greed. Lips as red as blood. Slightly tanned skin. And a chest as large as her greed.

As soon as I realized she was Dong Zhuo, I knelt on one knee and bowed.

"I am the son of Minister Wang Yun, named Diao Chan."

"Diao Chan, Diao Chan..."

She repeated my name and spoke her thoughts without filtering.

"Even your name is sexy."

At those words, I almost panicked but remembered the maxim to always remain calm and smiled slightly, saying,

"Chancellor, you are sexy too."

What surprised me instead were the people around who followed Dong Zhuo. They knew of Dong Zhuo's tyranny, and even I thought I might have gone too far, but fortunately, Dong Zhuo was generous to men.

"Heh, then would you like to be embraced in this sexy bosom?"

"I would like to, but Chancellor, you are in such a high place."

"Hmm, then should I come down?"

"That would be too difficult. However..."

I looked at Dong Zhuo's side. She seemed to understand my intention and said with a twisted smile,

"You are bold. But I do not take husband, you know?"

"I was not looking at your side but behind you."

She doesn't want a husband. If she's okay with a concubine, I expressed it indirectly, and she laughed heartily, asking my mother, who was sitting behind her,

"You've raised your son very well."

"Thank you."

"Your recent proposal is accepted. Diao Chan, would you become my concubine?"

I smiled with happiness and said,

"I am deeply honored."

Looking at Dong Zhuo's satisfied smile, I felt a sense of relief that the plan had succeeded, the anticipation of being with such a woman, and a slight sense of guilt. Why?

To tell the truth, I had just done the same thing with someone else.

With whom?

With Dong Zhuo's sword, the strongest general. The strongest existing general.

Lu Bu (呂布).

Thinking of the bright red short hair, I forcibly restrained the strength entering my lower body.
