The Sea of Officialdom

Once you pass through the palace gates, the sea runs deep. Half a lifetime rises and falls. That saying applies not only to the consorts and palace maids, but also to the eunuchs. A eunuch who rises high in the palace is like a cloud in the sky, fawned over by countless people. One who stays low is dirt in the dust, trampled at anyone's whim. Le Wenfeng is the Chief Commander of the Eastern Depot, surrounded by people eager to curry favor. But... One day, Le Wenfeng suddenly notices a little palace maid who acts as though she's facing a deadly enemy when she sees him, fleeing in a panic and shouting in terror: "Don't kill me!" That day... Ye Tong dropped an earring in the snow. When Le Wenfeng found it, it became his most precious treasure. The Empress and the Noble Consort are the most powerful people in the imperial harem, and neither can be casually provoked. But... When Ye Tong gets caught up in the struggle between the Empress and the Noble Consort, he still makes it impossible for the Empress to lay a hand on her with just one sentence: "She's mine. I'll protect her." Even the Noble Consort has to think twice. Because she is his treasure. When he realizes he's fallen in love with her, he knows he's lost everything. After all, he can't stop thinking of her, longing for her, and protecting her. What are all those favors worth beside a single smile from you? Reading tips: 1. He is a real eunuch, not a fake one. 2.
