The Nine-Thousand-Year-Old's Heart Stirs

Set in an alternate Ming dynasty. Lin Mudan was born into wealth and privilege, but on her wedding day, her entire family was arrested and her parents and brother imprisoned.

Lin Mudan finally understood that her marriage and devotion had only been tools for her fiance to use. It had all been a joke.

So she sought refuge with Wei Wuxin, the powerful eunuch, and started out in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, beginning her determined fight to save herself.

But, Your Excellency, the Ninth Thousand Years, could you please stop coming to see me? Our contract is over, and so is our partnership. We can go our separate ways and forget each other.

What? You need an empress? No, I don't want to be empress. I won't share my husband with anyone.
