Lord Huo’s Little Darling: The Three-Year-Old Family Favorite Takes Beijing by Storm

[Historical romance + adorable child + adored by everyone + court intrigue + growing-up story + satisfying read + fatherly male lead + heartwarming and healing]

Huo Lin, a powerful figure who held sway over the imperial court, found a nameless three-year-old girl on a snowy night and brought her home.

From then on, the cold-blooded, iron-fisted Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years began a frantic daily routine of raising a child.

The hands that could make and unmake fortunes in court learned to braid little pigtails, feed her rice porridge, and tell bedtime stories.

Everyone said the Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years had only taken in the little girl on a whim and would abandon her sooner or later.

But then...

When the legitimate daughter of the Chancellor’s household bullied the little girl, the Chancellor was found to have embezzled a million taels the very next day.

When the Grand Princess mocked the little girl for having no parents, a scandal at the princess’s residence swept the capital the day after.

When the Crown Prince tried to use the little girl as a hostage, the Eastern Palace’s power crumbled within three months...

The little girl hugged Huo Lin’s neck and asked in her sweet baby voice, “Daddy, why is everyone so afraid of me?”

Huo Lin wiped the sugar from the corner of her mouth and smiled faintly. “They aren’t afraid of you. They’re afraid that your daddy is too reasonable.”

Until one day, enemy spies slipped into the residence and saw the supposedly helpless little girl cheerfully standing on the assassin leader’s back and counting stars.

The assassin screamed in despair, “She’s not a child! She’s a monster!”

Huo Lin walked over unhurriedly and gathered the little girl in his arms, his gaze icy. “You scared my daughter. You deserve to die.”
