His Little Highness

A little princess who pretends to be crazy and foolish × the mad eunuch who spent ten years searching for her

A tempestuous romance / master-servant role reversal / redemption

Princess Zhao Miaoying of Chun'an was born unloved.

Everyone in the palace said she was weak, timid, and easy to bully.

Only Wen Qi knew that she wasn't some little princess who couldn't bite.

She was good at playing the victim, and good at deceiving people.

Many years ago, Princess Chun'an saved Wen Qi, a lowly eunuch, in the cutthroat royal court.

Back then, he stared at her white sleeves, afraid to offend her.

Later, the seemingly frail princess clung tightly to him in the dark. Sobbing, she made him swear:

"Wen Qi, we're both unwanted things."

"We only have each other now. No matter what happens, you have to come find me."

He believed her.

Later, on the day of the palace coup, he was covered in blood and forced to kneel before the hall.

He was still waiting for her to say something,

but Zhao Miaoying only looked at him coldly.

"Drag him away."

"He's nothing but a dog I kept."

*

Years later, that dog crawled back from a mountain of corpses and a sea of fire, transformed into the powerful Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years.

He must have hated Princess Chun'an to the core. For five years, he searched the entire land, determined to find a woman who had taken her own life.

Unexpectedly, he really did find Princess Chun'an.

When they met again, the princess's clothes were tattered, she was covered in mud, and she trembled all over.

She looked up at him, her eyes so vacant they seemed almost docile.

"Who are you?"

"Do you know my Wen Qi? Could you ask him if he still wants me?"

Wen Qi stared in silence for a long time at her bare feet, raw and oozing pus, then sneered:

"Your Highness would rather live like this than come anywhere near me."

The powerful Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years knelt like a servant to put shoes on her, his voice hoarse:

"Are you afraid the dog you worked so hard to get rid of will come back to claim your life?"

*

Five years was a very long time, long enough for Wen Qi to almost forget that in the vast imperial palace, they had once been each other's only refuge.

One was an unloved princess, the other an unwanted little eunuch.

On those long nights, they ignored the rules and slept side by side.

Zhao Miaoying had once gently touched his scars and repeated, with childlike stubbornness:

"Wen Qi, you're not a servant."

"You're mine. I'll take you away from here."

He had once held the weeping girl in his arms in the darkness, carefully and reverently.

Back then, he thought that his body and his life belonged to the princess.

But later, she destroyed their promise with her own hands.

*The female lead has her reasons.

*The male lead is a real eunuch.

*The story starts when they are children, relying on each other for survival.
