The story was abandoned because I couldn't make the romance work, and the plot kept drifting further off course. I just couldn't write sweet love scenes, so I gave up.
A true eunuch husband versus a proper young lady wife
Linglong is reborn in ancient times. She may not have been born into a family of princes or ministers, but hers is comfortably well-off. Better yet, she's the only girl in the family.
As the saying goes, rarity makes something precious, so Linglong's life is pretty wonderful.
But then a three-year drought leaves the fields barren. Even with the court waiving taxes, it makes little difference.
When her father and brothers go missing, Linglong and her mother are forced to join the refugees fleeing famine.
At last they reach the capital, only for her mother, her sole remaining family, to fall gravely ill. Linglong decides to sell herself as a maid to a wealthy household.
After finally getting her mother treated, Linglong has only one thing left to do: save up enough to buy back her freedom and reclaim her contract.
Then she unexpectedly comes across her second brother, gravely wounded and on the brink of death. She needs a large sum of money all over again, but she's already sold herself. Where is she supposed to find the cash? Is she going to have to seduce her current master?
By a strange twist of fate, Linglong gets engaged to a young eunuch.
Even more surprisingly, the young eunuch is the personal attendant of the prince whose household she currently serves.
So, what's it like to have a eunuch for a fiancé?
Linglong says, You have no idea. Eunuchs are great, eunuchs are wonderful. At least you'll never have to worry about him cheating and bringing home a pregnant woman.
Besides, if he does bring someone home, the baby won't be his.
You also don't have to worry about having children yourself.
After all, giving birth in ancient times is like dancing the tango at the gates of hell. What if you don't make it back?
Very good, you can watch it
