The General's Daughter Returns with Her Child in Hand, and the Eunuch Chief Breaks His Vows

Reborn in a ruined temple, she returns driven by hatred, only to fall into the arms of the most dangerous “protector.” Qin Yi, the legitimate daughter of a distinguished family of generals, trusted the wrong people in her previous life. Her family was destroyed, and she was burned alive. When she opens her eyes again, she has been reborn at the brink of death in a ruined temple, on the night everything changed: the night she was set up and lost her virginity to Shi Hua, the powerful Chief Eunuch of the Eastern Depot, known as the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old. Wolves and tigers close in from every side: her false and vicious former husband, Prince Qin; the relentlessly scheming Zhou family; and the Empress Dowager, who fears her from deep within the palace. To survive, she willingly steps into the territory of that sinister, ruthless “Nine-Thousand-Year-Old.” She is his “niece” in name, but in truth, she is his carefully concealed “darling.” He holds power over the court and is ruthless, the head of the eunuchs in the eyes of the world: cold and merciless. He offers her protection, but it comes with the oppressive force of someone determined to control everything, and with unfathomable tests. She flees while pregnant, then lies low and rises again. Away from the vortex of power for a time, she uses her remarkable medical skills and the wisdom gained in her previous life to quietly lay her plans in a remote borderland, build her strength, and give birth to a clever, precocious son, Xiao Ming.
