(Under revision) The original owner was proud to the bone and took her own life, leaving her with a huge mess to clean up:
A lovesick young master wants to elope with her;
The girl in her household is hiding a mute slave dressed as a woman in her room;
Her sworn enemy is waiting every day to attend her funeral feast;
And there's a powerful, beautiful, and jealous eunuch (jealous in a good way) forcing and bribing her to go undercover at the Zheng residence, all because he's bored and wants to steal their treasure map?
But later, she realizes that the two of them really do share the same interests, so she decides they should join forces in wrongdoing.
One is building a faction for personal gain; the other is greedy and lustful.
If the world is unjust, then we'll just be a little worse.
[Female Lead]
To stay alive, Miss Duan diligently works two jobs every day: casually fleecing the young master, and waiting for a huge bonus from the scheming eunuch, Eunuch Zhou.
She may be incompetent, but she's very good at resisting manipulation.
Miss Duan: I'm just a weak woman. What sort of evil could I possibly have in mind?
Miss Duan: If that's what you want to think, there's nothing I can do. (Shrugs)
[Male Lead]
Some say he's a powerful eunuch who relies on others' authority. Others call him a cruel, bloodthirsty official. Still others accuse him of patricide and treason.
Of course, the most outrageous rumor is that he's henpecked, jealous, vain, and a hopeless romantic.
Zhou Yuanche just smiles at these rumors and insults.
Because they're all true.
[Reading Guide]

[Content Warnings]
1. Early on, the heroine is punished a little for trying to escape and fight back. It's not especially severe, just a few strokes. Please proceed with caution if this bothers you. Immediately afterward, a male supporting character is beaten half to death because of her. Both the male lead and the male supporting character suffer physically and emotionally. The heroine is mainly targeted for resisting the upper classes.
2. The heroine is somewhat of a flirt and doesn't want to commit to the men in her life at first. She's also a slow learner when it comes to her feelings. Please proceed with caution if this bothers you.
3. A female antagonist abuses a man. Please proceed with caution if this bothers you.
4. The heroine occasionally gets into danger and is rescued by the male lead, since they're partners early on. She solves many of her own problems. Please proceed with caution if this bothers you.
5. This is not a wish-fulfillment novel. Please proceed with caution if that bothers you. But don't worry, it does not have a tragic ending, and the heroine does receive honors.
6. There may be occasional wording oversights. Feel free to point them out, but please don't attack the author right away. I'll consider making revisions.
Theme: In this world, we can't always do as we please, but we can at least live with a clear conscience.
I think I would be happy to read an article written by the author from the princess's perspective or character. It's a pity that I didn't come here to read the eunuch article just to see this [covering face, laughing and crying] [covering face, laughing and crying]
I retract my last comment. All the other girls' bad thoughts are focused on the princess alone [covering face and laughing] These episodes are about slapping the female protagonist and the male protagonist.
The young girls here all have a silly spirit, hahahaha
Give the male lead more roles
In fact, I am still looking forward to the extra episode. Although I hate the princess after reading it, I really want to see the if line of the princess. If she is reincarnated in a parallel world where she can legitimately be the empress, she and Sister Xue will definitely be able to talk. And so on and so forth. To be honest, I was quite angry when I saw it. In addition, I saw earlier that Xiao Zhou knew about Sister Xue. Did I get confused? Why do I always feel that there is a plot where the male protagonist knows the identity of the female protagonist before she reveals her identity. This part is completely useless 😭 I was actually not happy at all after reading this book. I felt that in the later period, the author no longer wanted to write romance, and was writing without cp. Of course, the writing style is actually very good, and it is better than many collections and promotions I have read. The logic of the book is much better. It would be more appropriate to change the book promotion direction and recommend female group portraits or heroine tracks. The first half and the second half are not the same story, but each character and small story in it is still quite touching. To me, it is a unique eunuch novel. Of course, it just doesn't feel right to put this book on the eunuch writing track.
In fact, the author made a whole plate of dumplings for this dish of vinegar...
Alas, this part was so uncomfortable to watch [covering face, laughing and crying] I feel like a tauren [covering face, laughing and crying]
It's almost the finale, do you still want to continue to struggle [cover your face and laugh and cry] [cover your face and laugh and cry]
I still hate the way Yun Yun's story is handled. In this case, there is no need to write about the heroine's regrets. Let Yun Yun go on her own. In the end, she is free and doesn't need anyone to express condolences to her.
This chapter is a bit too martial arts and low-level martial arts fantasy [covering face, laughing and crying] How did I save this?
