Lin Xiaoman disguises herself as a eunuch and enters the palace, hoping only to save enough money to escape.
But the Crown Prince, Li Jing, takes notice of her and summons her to serve him every day.
He teaches her to read and write, protects her, and looks at her with growing affection.
Terrified, she stays up all night writing a request for a transfer, only for him to corner her against a wall:
“Xiaoman, stop pretending. I know you’re not a eunuch.”
She thinks her death is at hand, but he chuckles softly in her ear:
“Funny thing is, I’m not from this era either.”
Two lonely transmigrators fall in love in the imperial palace a thousand years ago, in a romance they have to keep hidden.
