In her previous life, Du Yunyi married the Second Prince. On the surface, she was a glamorous princess consort, but behind closed doors, the Second Prince was a beast in human skin. He tormented her after she married him, and in the end, sent her to her death with a strip of white silk.
In this life, she was reborn on her wedding day, only to find that her legitimate younger sister had also been reborn ahead of her and switched their marriage arrangements.
So Du Yunyi went along with it and married into the imperial palace, planning to quickly establish herself there before the emperor died.
But on her wedding night, the emperor suddenly died, and Du Yunyi was thrown into the imperial prison.
She could only grasp at her last lifeline.
Pei Qian, the powerful Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years.
Du Yunyi looked up at him with pitiful eyes. "Please, I want to live."
Pei Qian's lips curled as he lifted her chin. "You can live, but you have to become mine."
The little girl who had once saved him when he was down and out was the moon in Pei Qian's heart. He had meant to quietly watch over her and ensure she lived a carefree life.
But now that she had agreed, Pei Qian made it clear he would never let her go.
Later, the aloof powerbroker was dragged down from his pedestal.
