The Powerful Eunuch by My Pillow

[A dangerously obsessive, devoted hero × a heroine who knows how to play the pig to eat the tiger]

Everyone knows that the powerful eunuch Xie Bi'an is vicious, violent, and a mass murderer who holds the empire in the palm of his hand. Qin Zhangyi, once the late emperor's cherished princess, now barely scrapes by through her entanglement with him, her reputation utterly ruined.

Who could know that amid court turmoil, struggles for imperial power, and kin slaughtering kin, he defied the whole world to openly give her his favor?

When rebels demanded her execution as a demon who had brought ruin to the country, he cut down the rioters.

When a foreign power invaded and demanded the princess's hand in marriage, he led his troops into battle and turned the tide in one decisive stroke.

When the ministers accused her of corrupting the court, he schemed at every turn and made an example of them.

A little scene:

Cold arrows came flying from every direction. He stretched out an arm and pulled her behind him to shield her.

Taking advantage of the moment, she discreetly clutched his robe, ready to shove the man in front of her and use him as a human shield.

“Your Highness had better pray I make it out of here alive. Otherwise, I won't be the only one to die today.”

“Of course. Only you, Your Highness, treat me well and protect me at every turn. If you die, I'll follow you.”

He stared straight at her, cold light flashing in his eyes. “Really?”

The princess smiled brightly and said earnestly, “Really.”

The Ninth Thousand-Year Lord was instantly delighted, and contentedly devoted himself to protecting her.

A lie. She quietly rubbed her forehead. He just loves hearing that, and it works every time.
