Everyone in the palace knew there was one person you should never offend: the unpredictable Eunuch Jiuqian Sui. Rumor had it that he was sinister and cruel, with a heart as venomous as a snake’s. Hundreds, if not thousands, had died at his hands.
But those rumors changed completely after the emperor’s beloved little princess returned to the palace.
As the emperor’s most cherished little princess, Chu Jiaojiao had been spoiled and domineering since childhood. After spending five years overseeing the Department of Punishments, she suddenly returned to the palace by imperial decree.
The servants said the princess couldn’t stand anyone, especially Eunuch Jiuqian Sui. She was always giving him the cold shoulder.
And yet!
The sinister, cruel Eunuch Jiuqian Sui poured tea and waited on the princess more attentively than any servant!
The snake-hearted Eunuch Jiuqian Sui bent his back for the princess, a thing he had never done even for the emperor!
The unpredictable Eunuch Jiuqian Sui had tried to seize the throne several times over a single thing the princess had said, all because she liked the imperial robe!
The ministers: ...Princess, please keep Eunuch Jiuqian Sui in check! He went to discuss overthrowing the emperor again today!
The emperor: Little sister, if you want it, just say so. There’s no need to make Eunuch Jiuqian Sui come check every night to see if I’m dead.
Chu Jiaojiao: ?????
