#A cold-on-the-outside, warm-hearted, sickly eunuch on the receiving end × a sunny, loyal-dog general on the pursuing end
#A powerful duo #Enemies to lovers #Court intrigue
Everyone knew that the all-powerful Eunuch Qiansui, Ye Weiyang, and the decorated young general, Xie Ling, were bitter enemies.
That was, until the truth behind their blood feud came to light and they were forced to join forces.
Xie Ling climbed into the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs and forced hot porridge on the coughing, blood-spitting Governor: “I’ll protect your life.”
Dazed on his sickbed, Ye Weiyang instinctively edged closer to the only source of warmth. “I’m cold…”
Later, the conspiracies were crushed and their enemies executed.
The new emperor stared at General Xie in the imperial study, wearing a general’s robe and being coaxed into good cheer by a single cool glance from Eunuch Qiansui. He fell silent for a long time.
Only then did the court officials realize: the two who had fought the hardest had quietly gotten their happily ever after behind everyone’s backs.
