Reader Advisory: There’s no fantasy content early on. It’s introduced in the middle, then things take off later.
【Face-blind heiress × two-faced Imperial Eunuch】
Bu Yi: You don’t know I hold power over the court. I don’t know you can’t see my face.
Ba Yiyi: Today I’ll kidnap you and make you my lover. Tomorrow you’ll kneel and rely on me.
Ba Yiyi, daughter of the richest man in the capital, has a sharp tongue and a ruthless hand. At twenty-four, no one dares marry her.
She kidnaps a young man in plain clothes from a teahouse. He’s gentle and polite, and though his face is blank, it has words on it.
A blank face? Yes, blank!
She can see everyone else just fine, but for some reason she’s face-blind when it comes to this young man!
Words on his face? Yes, words!
“Idle” becomes “Intrigued,” “Intrigued” becomes “Amused,” and “Amused” becomes “Fond.”
His emotions appear on his face in the form of words.
“Scholar, why don’t you just marry me? I’ll make sure you’re well fed and clothed from now on.”
She teases him on a whim, and he accepts!
Fine, she’ll take him back to her home and keep him as her little lover.
What Ba Yiyi doesn’t know is that she has kidnapped Bu Yi, the mighty head of the Eastern Depot, the highest-ranking eunuch in the empire.
Even more, he’s her father’s sworn brother, her “grandfather.”
She can’t make out his face, but he can see into her heart.
After learning the truth, Ba Yiyi declares that she’ll dote on her husband, no matter his status.
Why does fate have to play such cruel tricks? The two of them were bound together in a past life.
If they can’t break the curse in this life, their red thread of fate will snap, and they’ll never meet again in any lifetime.
But so what? Ba Yiyi would never give in so easily!
You have your “crooked tricks,” and I have my “Dynamic Duo”!
Even if this puzzle can’t be solved, she can still break it!
Theme: Love has nothing to do with looks. All that matters is having each other to lean on.
