A modern reader transmigrates into a book set in the Qin Empire and becomes a lowly eunuch.
The original character wouldn’t survive past chapter three, but with the plot memorized, he navigates the inner palace one careful step at a time.
Princes vie for the throne, officials scheme against one another, and eunuch factions clash. A storm is brewing.
Hidden at the emperor’s side, he turns the tide and becomes the most untouchable player in the Qin Empire.
The only one who can soften his heart and claim his devotion is the princess, born to wealth and privilege.
He protects her, thwarts her political marriage, and helps her break free, never yielding an inch even at the edge of forbidden love.
When he holds all the power in the world and his identity is finally revealed,
he gives up the empire and his authority, staging an astonishing fake death,
all so he can openly whisk away the most honored princess in the Qin Empire.
From then on, Shen the Eunuch vanishes from the palace, and only the two of them remain in this world.
This book is not the kind of "read it and forget it" kind of fast food article. It will leave something in your heart - maybe it's the fragrance of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, maybe it's the phrase "I want to laugh after eating candy", maybe it's Shen Yi kneeling on the ground and saying "This slave will live, for sure". It makes me believe that even in the darkest of places, there are people willing to shine a light for you.
