[The Eunuch Prince x The Quirky Transmigrator]
Lin Yue'er transmigrates to the Vermilion Bird Kingdom and becomes the legitimate daughter of a low-ranking official. Unfortunately, her mother died young, and her father remarried, so no one arranges a match for her, even after she comes of age.
At last, she manages to land a marriage prospect from the countryside. He's a poor scholar, but he's handsome and ambitious, so she considers him a promising investment and is fairly satisfied.
But on her way home from meeting him, she encounters a lecher who has been watching her bathe. Before he can say a word, she slaps him several times, left and right.
Not long after she returns to the city, just as Lin Yue'er is waiting to become engaged to the poor scholar, an imperial decree grants her in marriage to the Seventh Prince.
Though this Seventh Prince is as handsome as an immortal, his character is said to be vile. Rumor has it that five years ago, during a campaign against a neighboring kingdom, he forced himself on a female captive, and she destroyed his manhood. Ever since, he has been a eunuch.
What good is peerless beauty in a eunuch prince? None of the city's young ladies are willing to marry him. So even though he is past twenty-one, he still has no princess consort. It seemed that was how things would stay, until one day he suddenly asked the Emperor for an imperial decree, naming Lin Yue'er as the woman he wanted to marry.
Lin Yue'er instantly becomes the laughingstock of the city's young ladies. She doesn't want to marry a eunuch either! But her father holds too low a position, and her stepmother can't wait to get rid of her. She can't fight city hall, so she can only marry into the prince's household against her will.
On their wedding night, Lin Yue'er realizes that the Seventh Prince is the very same lecher who watched her bathe. Furious, she nearly tears the bridal chamber apart.
