One snowy night, an unloved princess found a little eunuch frozen stiff and took him in. Ten years later, he had become the most powerful man in the realm. He spent half his life killing and fighting, just to reclaim everything she had lost, piece by piece. In the end, he even gave up his own life for her.
Theme: Under an imperial regime that devours all in its path, love is the only proof that two people are still human.
They did not die because of some villain’s plot. They died because their very identities were irreconcilable: a princess and a eunuch, the imperial throne and a household slave. The world would let either of them live well on their own. The one thing it could never allow was for them to be together.
