Synopsis
In the 40th year of Jiajing reign, the snow fell all night in the Forbidden City. She is a social beast from the 21st century and the most inconspicuous little maid of the needlework bureau. He is a young and promising clerk in the library, a cold-hearted "eunuch" in the eyes of the world. Two people who were supposed to have nothing in common became each other's only warmth in this deep palace due to a "lead-red" disaster. She accompanied him from his dormitory to the peak of power, and he protected her from becoming a palace maid to the head of the Six Nobles. Together they raised their young master, implemented the New Deal, and held each other's hands in the bloody storm. But when a child raised by his own hands grows up to be an emperor, when a former ally becomes the most dangerous enemy. They were shocked to realize that the deepest cracks often come from the people closest to them. This is a love of souls that spans four hundred years, and it is also an Oriental swan song of "retirement after success". By the Qinhuai River, the bright moon shines on me. ——————————————————————————————————— The author has something to say, he is a eunuch! It's a real eunuch! He is a famous real eunuch in history! Therefore, part of the plot of the novel will involve political intrigue (not much, the author's writing style is not good) The novel is set in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Except for the heroine and some minor supporting characters, everything else is real in history. In order to respect the rigor of history, the author refers to some documents and historical works, including but not limited to "Zi Zhong Zhi", "The Biography of Zhang Juzheng", "Those Nine Thousand Years Old in the Ming Dynasty", "Wars in the Harem of the Ming Dynasty", and "The Long Collection of Historical Materials of Eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty" However, in order to serve the plot of the novel, some parts may have been adapted, and there may be some discrepancies with the real history, so please bear with me. —————————————————————————————— In fact, when I first wrote this novel, my original idea was to have a humorous style, but when I really put it into the perspective of the heroine bit by bit and picked out the details, I found that it didn't work. It really doesn't work. Any ordinary person who travels to that feudal society with different levels of superiority and inferiority and strict hierarchies will not have such an easy time, let alone a place like the imperial palace, a whirlpool of power. Therefore, the writing style became more and more depressing as I wrote. I wanted to give up at one point, but luckily I ended up writing it. Although I really don't have any writing talent, I finally gave myself an explanation. Purpose: To explore how individuals can find a balance between adhering to their original intentions and adapting to the times, and finally win the freedom and peace of life with the Eastern wisdom of "retire after success".
