The Nine-Thousand-Year Lord

The feared Eunuch Song, who holds power over the court, has a secret:

Lu, the Palace Director who constantly clashes with him inside the palace, was once bound to him by a marriage contract.

Back then, he was the young master of a marquis's household, and she was the treasured daughter of the Shen family. They were a perfectly matched couple, destined for one another.

But now he is a eunuch, incomplete in body. How could he dare to dream of marrying a high-ranking official dressed in fine robes?

"Miss Shen always keeps her word and won't break the engagement, but Eunuch Song... surely you understand the situation. If Miss Shen asked to break it off, it would be reasonable, but it would still damage her reputation. It would be different if you were the one to end the engagement. Everyone would praise you for your noble character."

Yes... He should set her free.

Shen, the Inner Chancellor, had always believed that she and her fiancé were in love with each other, and that they would marry when the time was right.

But instead, she received word that her fiancé wanted to break off their engagement.

"Then let's do this. How about I lock you up in the Palace Director's Office prison? I'll keep you confined in this tiny place, where you'll never see the light of day or another outsider. You'll have to stay by my side, and I'll be the only person in your eyes and heart."

"I'm the only person you'll ever see. You belong to me alone."

(The plot point in the blurb has now been resolved.)

Ruthless, vicious, and powerful Shen, the Inner Chancellor x Ruthless, vicious, and feared Eunuch Song

Ruthless, but a hopeless romantic _(:з"∠)_

Reading guide:

1. The male lead is a real eunuch.

2. The two who look most like villains are the male and female leads.

3. The leads are overpowered, and the story has lots of original worldbuilding. Don't nitpick the details.

4. No political intrigue or palace scheming, just romance.

Theme: A promise is precious, so remember it, my lord.
