Synopsis

A delicate young widow empress vs. a refined villain of a chief eunuch (Completed)

[Traditional Historical Romance + Taking by Force + Devoted Husband + Political Intrigue and Revenge + Both Leads Are Chaste + Fake Eunuch + Happy Ending]

*The mad, corrupted chief eunuch has been plotting for a long time to claim the emperor’s woman.

The heroine is sweet, gentle, resilient, and clear-eyed. The hero is utterly wicked and has no morals. He seems like a deranged, wicked demon who is tragic, beautiful, and powerful, but beneath his stubborn exterior he has a soft heart. The moment the heroine cries, he obediently surrenders.

Hero’s perspective: Xiao Heye, chief eunuch of the Directorate of Ceremonial, holds the emperor’s authority in his hands and controls life and death. Everyone says he is violent by nature, devoid of desire, and never goes near women.

Yet every nightfall, faint, tender sounds that make people blush and their hearts race drift from his chambers.

The ascetic demon is dragged from his pedestal by a gentle beauty. From then on, he spends every day pressed close to her, entwined with her day and night.

He loves her so deeply that he is willing to become her devoted servant.

He was born a wicked demon. He lives only for revenge and destruction. His love is both clear-eyed and all-consuming.

Heroine’s perspective: Su Tiyue is a pampered young noblewoman from the Minister of Rites’ household. At sixteen, she is chosen to enter the palace as a consort.

Once you enter the palace, it’s as deep as the sea. At the time, the palace and the world beyond appear peaceful and tranquil, but beneath the surface, treacherous currents swirl and danger lurks. Within the palace, the treacherous eunuch Xiao Heye has seized the emperor’s authority and rules with an iron fist. Beyond its walls, rebels run rampant, committing rape and pillage, while the neighboring Rouran people threaten to invade.

To protect herself and her family, she chooses to seek the favor of Xiao Heye, the all-powerful chief eunuch.

She knows Xiao Heye is a treacherous demon, and from the beginning, she never intended to love him.

But later, she realizes that the most sincere thing in this world is a demon’s love for her. She is willing to go to hell with him, and sink into ruin by his side.

I Recently Read a Novel with a Truly Eunuch Male Lead and Loved It. Looking for More Like It!!

I recently read a novel where the male lead is a genuine eunuch, "The Young Madam of the Palace Eunuch's Household". I'm completely in love with the male lead. He's so humble, but his love runs deep, and he and the female lead are mutually devoted. I love this kind of genuine-eunuch male lead so much, I'm obsessed. Sisters, please recommend novels with genuine eunuch male leads! No fake eunuchs!

I can't wait for more updates from the author! Who understands? The male lead sometimes seems soberly lost in his own world, and he's quite the powerful "Palm Seal"! The female lead seems to be bullied by the male lead, but she actually has him completely under her thumb. She even asks for a hug as soon as she wakes up, and the author immediately pulls her into his arms.

It's similar to the drama "The Legend of Futu" starring Wang Hedi, but the character portrayal feels more delicate!

It's really good! I absolutely love it! It deserves at least a 9 out of 10! It's only up to chapter 81 so far, but the rating will definitely keep going up. I love the female lead so much 😳, I feel so sorry for her, the male lead always bullies her! [Heavy punch] Hmph! I love it, hahaha!

Highly recommended! I often give up halfway through reading other books, but this one is so captivating! The plot is incredibly detailed. Especially the latest chapter, it's even more compelling! I really like the male lead's personality! He's been plotting for a long time; it seems the female lead gave him a piece of candy when they were little, and then his younger brother gave him one too.

The characters and story are so original! I really like the author. The author is very patient in replying to comments. 🍉 I discovered this too early; I'll check out another book by the author to whet my appetite first.

It's really good, it touched my heart! I never expected the cold and ruthless Xiao Zhangyin to be such a loyal puppy in front of the female lead. Luckily, both the male and female leads have mouths, so there were no misunderstandings. Watching the male lead's heart gradually warmed by the female lead, I had a constant smile on my face, especially the part where the female lead fiercely protected her husband—it was awesome!

I haven't read such a good book in a long time. The male and female leads are both so likable, they both have sharp tongues, the romance develops smoothly without dragging, the tension is just right, everything feels so natural, this love is so beautiful, highly recommended!

This book is one of my favorites from all the years I've read Tomato's books. I read every single chapter without missing a single one. It's incredibly good. The characters are exactly what I wanted to read. The male lead is deeply in love with the female lead, and the author's writing is excellent. This is the first time I've ever liked a novel this much. I plan to read it again.
