[A True Eunuch] [A Handsome, Tragic Power Broker and Palace Seal-Bearer ✖️ A Kind, Gentle, Frail Princess] [Alternate World]

The palace gates open onto a sea of troubles, and everyone steps into the game alone.

She is Princess of Beiqi, gentle and beautiful, with both talent and learning. When she was sixteen, her mother died under mysterious circumstances. Since then, she and her younger brother, born of the same mother, have had only each other.

He is a rising power among Beiqi's ministers, The Outcast, second to one and above millions. Clever and perceptive, with an exceptionally handsome face, he has only one misfortune: he is a eunuch.

When the Shen clan is wrongfully accused and persecuted, she tries to dispel the shadow hanging over the palace's golden roof tiles. Instead, she uncovers a bloodstained royal secret.

The civil and military officials know only that he holds a high position and has won the emperor's favor with his looks and silver tongue. They don't know that he endured humiliation in his youth, that his life today is worlds apart from what it once was, or that his clever heart holds the blood and flesh of his family.

She always hopes that the little boy she met when she was eight will one day pick a red-bean branch with his own hands and take hers.

“Your Highness, my whole life is stained with blood I should never have spilled. No matter how hard I wash, I can never get it out.”

“If there is another life, I won't be a servant. I'll still be your Aci, and I'll give you a red-bean hairpin.”

They say Beiqi's political arena is treacherous and ever-changing. To achieve great things, you must choose either the path of great virtue or great evil and follow it to the bitter end.

If you hesitate and try to walk both paths, desire and reason will tear you apart and destroy you.

When the new emperor takes the throne, he faces the Hall of Mental Cultivation, kneeling and bowing with every step, forging a bloodied path forward

“I beg Your Majesty to judge this case fairly and clear Prince Yun'an's estate of its false charges!”
