Both leads are each other’s only partner. Female eunuch × fake eunuch × sweet and angsty romance × rise to become emperor and empress × plenty of twists
Male lead: cold, calculating, and a master actor × Female lead: resilient, long-suffering, and sweetly innocent
Lin Che enters the palace disguised as a man to become a eunuch, but finds herself drawn to Gu Xia, a new eunuch whose beauty is breathtaking. At first, she thinks he is a cool and aloof gentleman. Gradually, though, she peels away his disguise, layer by layer.
Though he is a eunuch, he harbors wild ambitions. Does he really intend to sit on the throne one day?! He is full of schemes and manipulates everyone as if they were in the palm of his hand. Even Lin Che is no more than a disposable pawn on his chessboard.
“So what if you seize the throne? You killed all those people, and they were innocent!”
“If being innocent were enough to survive, things would be far too easy.”
“So in the end, I’m just one of your pawns?”
“If I fell in love with a pawn, my life would be truly miserable.”
Dressed in a eunuch’s embroidered robe, Gu Xia sat upon the golden throne in all its splendor. He hooked a finger beneath Lin Che’s chin and slowly leaned closer...
Good luck!! 💕
