“On the first day after I transmigrated, I made the powerful Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years my sworn brother. Together, we framed the Empress and had her wrongfully executed, then poisoned a whole harem of consorts. My sworn brother had influence everywhere and helped me rise to power until I became empress. When the emperor fell gravely ill, I was already pregnant. One dark and windy night, the usually arrogant Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years came straight into my room. He willingly bent down to listen to the baby moving in my belly. Tenderness filled his deep, icy eyes. ‘Has my child been good today?’”
[I came across a passage online a long time ago and thought it was really compelling, so I wanted to write a story about it. I made a few changes.]

One-line premise: When an abandoned consort from the Cold Palace allies with the all-powerful Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years, a palace scheme that begins as a deal of mutual convenience turns into a profound contest of love that transcends death and morality.
Synopsis:
Shen Churan, a modern master of traditional Chinese medicine, wakes up as an abandoned consort who has been force-fed a voice-destroying drug and sent to the Cold Palace. Facing dire circumstances, she takes the initiative and intercepts the procession of Pei Ye, the Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years, who holds the palace in the palm of his hand. She offers him a chance in exchange for her astounding medical skills, and he uses his immense power to help her regain the emperor’s favor. She thinks it is merely a transaction in which each gets what they need, but after joining forces to overcome one crisis after another, they develop a bond they should never have shared.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, she becomes the regent empress dowager, and he becomes regent prince. At court, they are ruler and subject. In the depths of the palace at night, they are each other’s only support. When the truth comes to light and old grudges fade away, can they leave everything behind and journey hand in hand across a vast land?
