【Two-Faced Princess × Powerful Eunuch | Raising an Empress × Dark Political Intrigue】
The day she transmigrated into a book, she realized she was playing the role of a reborn supporting character.
Her younger sister was favored by Heaven. In the future, she would poison their father, ally with the enemy prince, and condemn her to death by white silk.
But she refused to believe in fate
In public, she was an unpopular, dissolute princess who spent her days carousing;
in private, she was a brilliant magistrate, a commoner who had entered government through the imperial examinations.
He was the Director of the Eastern Depot, the all-powerful Nine-Thousand-Year-Old Lord, an eunuch in all but name.
At first, he tested her at every turn and sneered, “Working so hard, Young Minister? Hoping to become a loyal official?”
She turned the tables, dragged him into her game, and demanded in front of the emperor that he become her male favorite, forcing him to sink into depravity with her.
The day the grain-transport case was solved, she toppled the empress’s family and bathed the court in blood.
He gripped her throat and whispered, “Your Highness, do you know that deceiving the emperor is a crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of your family?”
She ran a hand over the hidden secrets in his collar and laughed softly. “And do you know, Director, that pretending to be an eunuch… is punishable by death by a thousand cuts?”
Later, the emperor on the throne shed his feigned indifference and pushed the bloodstained imperial seal toward her.
The Director knelt beneath the palace steps and, as the officials watched in shock, crowned her emperor:
“My wife is now emperor. I am willing to remain forever… her slave beneath the skirts.”
