The Eunuch’s Delight: The Sinister Chief Eunuch Is a Hopeless Romantic

[Reborn + strong female lead + the regretful pursuit of a wife]

Fake eunuch × former princess, future empress

In her previous life, Ye Qingli was the daughter of a disgraced consort confined to the Cold Palace. All she wanted was to stay safe in the palace, where people devoured one another, until the day she came of age and could leave the capital to live out the rest of her life. But her refusal to fight or compete earned her a cup of poisoned wine, and she died full of resentment.

Reborn, she sheds her timid disguise and vows to seize supreme power. Everyone who bullied and humiliated her in her previous life will pay, and no one will dare mistreat her again!

But why is the Ninth Thousand-Year Lord, who was intimate with her in her previous life yet coldly watched her die in agony, still clinging to her in this life after she resolutely cut off their doomed relationship?

Like a venomous snake that has chosen its prey, he stakes his entire being on the chase, refusing to let go.

Ling Shao is a blade forged from malice, ruthless in all he does. There are only two things he regrets.

The first is that in his previous life, he watched helplessly as his Highness died in agony.

The second is that he failed to remember the first in time.

When he finally understands, he storms into her bedchamber in the middle of the night, eyes red-rimmed, only to find the Highness who once depended on him wearing imperial robes, her expression cold.

“Chief Director, please behave yourself!”

Reading guide: Not a matriarchy. In this setting, princesses can inherit the throne. Romance is not the sole focus; includes political intrigue. The female lead carefully plots her way to control everything. The male lead suffers a lot.
