[Transmigrate Into a Book] [True Eunuch, the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old] [Angst-Filled Romance] [Winning Her Back] [Mutual Redemption] [Underdog Turns the Tables] [Past and Present Lives] [Sweet on the Outside, Dark Within]
In the fifteenth year of the Shengyuan era, the entire Zhaoyi Marquis's household was executed. The Invincible General was made a eunuch overnight.
Shen Jiali had only meant to watch the drama unfold.
She transmigrated into the role of a minor maid meant to warm someone's bed. All she wanted was to stay alive and return to the modern world, treating him like a character on a page and watching from the sidelines.
Porcelain shards cut Ali's hands, and the cane struck Ali's back. She told herself it was all just part of the plot.
But when that cold, powerful minister spared her life beneath the cane, and the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old took a poisoned cup for her, she suddenly realized that the character on the page had grown flesh and blood.
And she found herself kneeling more steadily, plotting more deeply.
By the end of the story, was she still Shen Jiali, or had she become Ali?
Wei Mingzhao had once been a victorious general, winning countless battles on horseback. He was made a marquis at a young age and enjoyed unrivaled glory.
Then, overnight, his household was confiscated and he was completely castrated. The Marquis of Zhaoyi became a lowly eunuch, forcibly stripped of his manhood.
Amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the only one who stayed was that foolish woman named Ali.
He should have sent her away.
So he made things difficult for her at every turn, made her kneel on ice, and used the cruelest words he could to make her hate him.
But she only smiled and pushed the food toward him. "Jing Huan, I was never going to be able to leave."
Only later did he understand: she had been saving a man who was destined to die.
And it wasn't power he couldn't live without. It was her.
