[One-on-one romance: a handsome, unbothered eunuch official x a cool beauty forced to bend; a battle of wills; truly a eunuch at first, but not later]
After the Shen family fell into decline, her close friend became empress.
Shen Xilan only wanted to collect her monthly salary of two taels and live out her remaining years in peace. Little did she know that the empress secretly couldn't stand her.
The empress schemed to hand her over to a eunuch. Shen Xilan endured endless abuse and humiliation, and her family suffered for it. Even her only child was used as an ingredient in a tonic.
When all was lost, Shen Xilan went mad and became a different person.
Reborn, she swore not to repeat the mistakes of her past life. Casting aside kindness and virtue, she clung to the powerful eunuch Han Lumeng.
They had once been fellow students at White Horse Academy. She had never imagined they would one day take such similar paths.
He sneered at her. "If your father knew what you've become, would he be able to rest easy in the afterlife?"
She shot back, "The same goes for you."
Later, he pressed her against the palace wall and pleaded, "Your Highness, I've given you everything you wanted. So why does my heart still feel so empty?"
Seems like a real eunuch?
The ending is not good and not very complete. The author has a chance to write an extra chapter. Please.
The ending jumps too fast 🤦, I feel like there's a lot left in the middle
