Reborn Five Times, the Scheming Eunuch Wants to Turn the Tables

(Two male leads, not devoted to one another, not devoted, not devoted. A little angst at the start, then pure sweetness. Sinister, poisonous beauty of a eunuch director × possessive, broken-hearted younger prince. Be warned if you’re uncomfortable with a real eunuch. Political intrigue, both leads are strong.)

The Eastern Depot was destroyed overnight, and Si Yun Jue, its powerful chief eunuch who had once held sway over the imperial court, became a prisoner at the Eastern Palace.

The crown prince, Zhou Yunjing, who had once spoken to him gently and gazed at him with adoration, now looked down on him with a cold, harsh gaze, humiliating and tormenting him in every way.

Si Yun Jue had lived through five lives.

In the first, he couldn’t bear the humiliation and suffered a heart attack. But when he opened his eyes again, he was still in the prison.

In the second, he waited for a chance to strike back, but the moment the crown prince drew his last breath, time looped back.

In the third, he plotted a rebellion and seized power. Just as the crown prince died on the battlefield, he was reborn yet again.

In the fourth, he gave up fighting back. On the night he married Prince Huaiyang, he returned to the beginning once more…

In this life, Si Yun Jue was tired.

If he couldn’t kill the prince and couldn’t escape, then he would take another path.

He lowered his eyes and knelt, his black hair falling loose to reveal the snowy white nape of his neck. His voice was soft and obedient. “Your Highness… Yun Jue will never leave you.”

Since the crown prince was so obsessed with him, he would retreat in order to advance, feigning submission while secretly planning to turn the tables!

But Zhou Yunjing gripped his chin, his gaze deep and unreadable, a faint smile on his lips. “Eunuch Yun, I can tolerate you trying to kill me, but you absolutely cannot take the lead.”

Si Yun Jue, son of a founding general, was once a man of noble character. But a false accusation against his family cost him everything. He became the chilling Eastern Depot commander, plucking flowers with his fingertips and staining his hands with blood.

Zhou Yunjing, crown prince of the Great Qing, was shrewd and calculating. Since he was young, he had been obsessed with the eunuch whose robes were the color of plum blossoms and deep crimson. He endured in silence for years, all to win his true devotion.
