The Husband I Divorced Became the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old Eunuch

[One-on-One, Both Pure, Sweet Romance, Healing, Clear-Eyed Villainess x Devoted Eunuch of the Eastern Depot, Happy Ending, True Eunuch]

In one sentence: He holds power over the court and looks down on all the world, yet lowers his head only before her, asking again and again, "Zijun, do you still want me?"

Jiang Zijun, the Jiang family's concubine-born daughter, was born with a keen eye for people's expressions and a knack for keeping accounts.

The day the Gu family was framed and destroyed, she saw through their engagement: it had always been a transaction of mutual advantage. She tore up the marriage contract, withdrew to save herself, and lived by clear-eyed self-interest.

Years later, when they met again, her former fiance was no longer the young son of a military family. He had become Gu Jiwu, the ruthless, bloodthirsty Chief Eunuch of the Eastern Depot, a man who held the court in his grip.

He arrived in the imperial procession, sealed off the Jiang residence, and looked down at her as she knelt. "Do you regret breaking off our engagement back then?"

She bluntly pointed out that his proposal had also been a scheme, refusing to show the slightest weakness.

But she never imagined that the Chief Eunuch, feared throughout the court for his merciless resolve, would in this life keep watch outside her door and treasure her above all else.

When she wanted wealth, he confiscated corrupt officials' fortunes and offered them to her. When she wanted power, he handed over his golden token in front of everyone. When she was bullied, he took up his blade and razed the entire offending household.

She remained clear-eyed and self-interested, advancing step by step, while he was a clingy, devoted dog, happy to be her blade and her prisoner.

From allies with hidden agendas, to standing side by side to clear the Gu family's name, eliminate the true culprit, and bring down the great clans and foreign tribes, and finally to him offering her the world as a bride-price and welcoming her in a wedding fit for a nation.

He owes the world a game of power and intrigue. To her alone, he asks only for a perfect life: ten miles of wedding finery, and growing old together.
