Synopsis

[Smiling-tiger, hypocritical, self-serving, flirtatious bottom x beautiful top who is haughty and insecure at first, then becomes a weepy, clingy sweetheart]

Transmigrating as an eleven-year-old eunuch, Se Linci spends four years lying low in the imperial palace. Thanks to his looks and cunning, he is finally assigned to serve a newly favored consort.

Though the consort is both beautiful and talented, her favor begins to wane because she has no children. Unwilling to be buried alive with her, Se Linci sees the Fourth Prince, whose birth mother was convicted of a crime and who has been abandoned by everyone, as a “rare commodity.” He volunteers to have the consort request custody of the boy, planning to prop up a puppet and use him to amass wealth and power.

But the Fourth Prince is a beauty with a sweet face and a fiendish temperament.

When Se Linci tells him to tie up his hair, he insists on wearing it loose. When told to act with dignity, he instead opens his robe and sneers, “You’re a eunuch. Who are you to order me around?”

Se Linci keeps smiling, using food, clothing, and words to manipulate the prince as he tries to tame this wild horse into a weapon. Through countless clashes, however, a strange symbiotic relationship quietly takes shape.

Then, on the night of the coup, Se Linci finally wades through mountains of corpses and rivers of blood to put the Fourth Prince on the throne.

After the new emperor is enthroned, Se Linci considers his work done and eagerly awaits the grand eunuch's ceremonial robes, so he can enjoy a mountain of ill-gotten gold and silver.

But the man on the Dragon Throne is still as outrageous as ever.

In front of the entire court, he smiles and tosses out an absurd proposal: “I've thought it over. What use are those vulgar riches? They're hardly worthy of Eunuch Ci. Why not... make him my empress instead?”

The polite smile Se Linci has maintained for more than a decade finally cracks for the first time.

My goodness, who wrote this so well?

I really have to praise the author! After reading so many political intrigue novels, this one truly stood out. It's not one of those mindless plots that just aim for pure enjoyment; every scheme is foreshadowed, and the protagonist's growth and psychological changes feel incredibly realistic—not like they suddenly become invincible.

It's really amazing!! The only problem is that there aren't enough updates; it's a new book, and there's not enough to read. Also, there's too much focus on the male lead's life in the beginning. If the whole story had a lot of text, it would be fine, and since it's not finished yet, there aren't any major issues. But the writing is very good. Keep up the good work, author! [Full]

This is really good too! The protagonist is so perceptive, but it feels like the main focus is on the protagonist's growth. At this rate, will the male lead appear in chapters 100-200? Looking forward to it! 😋

This is truly the most well-written political intrigue novel I've read recently! I highly recommend it! The author perfectly captures the secretive, complex, and scheming atmosphere of the palace. The protagonist's growth is also incredibly detailed and realistic, from initial naivety to later calculated maneuvering; every transformation is supported by meticulous detail, creating a strong sense…

This is a very good and thought-provoking story. It portrays the protagonist's cautious and treacherous situation within the palace exceptionally well. I hope the author updates soon! 💕💕💕 The author's writing style, cultural background, and logic are excellent (✪▽✪), I've caught up! This is the kind of story you can't put down once you start reading; it's worth staying up all night to write a review ❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely amazing! The author's depiction of the protagonist's interactions with others in the palace is so detailed and nuanced; you can really see the effort the author put in. It's just that the updates are too infrequent; I can't keep up! I'm begging the author to release 100 chapters in one night to scare me! I'm so looking forward to the next chapter! 🥰🥰🥰

It's a great read. You can clearly see the protagonist's growth throughout the story, and the protagonist's personality is also well-developed. The only downside is that the author pacing is a bit slow.
