Don't let the title put you off. It was originally called The Emperor Is a Hopeless Romantic.
Male lead x female lead, not a eunuch.
[Everyday life in an ancient setting + humorous palace intrigue + a touch of mind-reading + not a wish-fulfillment story + ensemble cast + both leads are inexperienced]
One day, I transmigrate into a novel, in the capital of the Great Liang dynasty.
Good news: I’m alive. Bad news: I’m a eunuch.
Worse news: I transmigrated with my body and soul intact, and I’m a woman!
The Great Liang emperor is rumored to be attracted to men, and I’m somehow involved, so I become everyone's rival.
To avoid the death flag from the original story, I work hard to change the plot.
But the emperor insists I serve him at close quarters!
The noble consort sneaks into the emperor's chambers at night, intending to hit me.
The next day, rumors spread through the palace that the noble consort hit the emperor!
The emperor complains that the treasury is empty and the imperial harem costs too much. Knowing my duty as his personal eunuch is to ease his burdens, I put my golden finger to work and make a fortune in the harem.
A noblewoman tries to harm me at the plum-blossom banquet? I strike first, but still can't escape the consequences.
Rumors about the emperor's attraction to men grow more and more out of hand.
I want to run away, but the emperor won't let me go.
One day, my period arrives, so I tell him I have hemorrhoids.
The emperor orders me to disguise myself as a noblewoman. He is stunned by my appearance, and we accidentally kiss. From then on, I can hear the thoughts of the emperor and his blood relatives.
From that day on, I'm a consort by day and a eunuch by night, a double-agent exhausted from being on the job.
My guiding principle is simple: no matter what happens, I have to stay alive!
Warnings: Not a wish-fulfillment story, illogical, not for history buffs. Everyone has their own storyline.
