The Eunuch Lord Is Far Too Bewitching

One is a wicked, powerful factory eunuch.

The other is a court lady who charms the emperor.

Rumor has it that neither of them is any good.

But Pei Ying thinks she's a thoroughly upright person, nothing like a treacherous minister such as Xie Qian. He's ruthless and sycophantic, and only looks out for his own interests. So on her first day as an official, she kept her foster mother's warning in mind and resolved to stay as far as possible from that bewitching man.

Who would have thought fate would bring them together? The man clung to her relentlessly. He followed her south, and when she returned to the capital, he happened to be going the same way. After a few trips back and forth, she had somehow grown used to this damnable companionship.

One day, she discovered that her name was now firmly tied to that of the unscrupulous factory eunuch. When they worked together on cases, people called them a pair of scoundrels. When they ate together, they said they were birds of a feather. If they did good deeds, they must have ulterior motives; if they showed kindness, they were surely up to no good... But by then, she no longer cared about the gossip. She only wanted this man by her side.

[Xie Qian's Story]

At fourteen, he accompanied his mother on a visit to her family. Passing through Prince Fu's fief, he met a little girl. Perched on her brother's shoulders, she stuffed a chicken leg into his arms and told him not to cry.

At fifteen, his family was murdered. He fled for his life until the girl's father rescued him. The little girl thought he was an immortal and brought him meals for a whole year. Sadly, with a window between them, she never saw his face.

At sixteen, he was secretly taken into the palace and hidden in the Imperial Secret Police. A secret guard told him that disaster had struck her family, and they had been settled at the Qiao household.

And so the years passed... He watched the girl enter officialdom, surviving with great care. He felt sorry for her, and found her amusing.

One day, he heard that the girl had been meeting someone in secret.

He smiled. "My girl has grown up."

P.S. A scheming, unscrupulous factory eunuch and a cautious, resilient female official.
