There’s No Way I Could Fall in Love with a Eunuch!

Seeking early interest for the serials Trapped Behind High Walls and Fallen Buddha~ When Jiang Siwan transmigrated, the empress had just fallen from power and been banished to the Cold Palace. As luck would have it, she was that disgraced empress. She had spent several days starving in the Cold Palace when at last someone showed up. He was handsome and refined, with an air of defiance. Not only did he refuse her plea for food, he humiliated her mercilessly. Only later did Jiang Siwan learn that he was Su Qi, the head eunuch and trusted aide to Consort Xian, the undefeated champion of the imperial harem. Jiang Siwan had thought she would starve to death in the Cold Palace. Then, in the blink of an eye, word came that the emperor had been attacked in the palace and died of his wounds. The court and the harem fell into chaos. The crown prince, who had been confined in the Eastern Palace, ascended the throne, and Jiang Siwan, his mother, became the empress dowager overnight. Consort Xian suddenly lost all her power. Her faction was wiped out, leaving only the head eunuch struggling desperately to hold on. After finally settling into a life of luxury, Jiang Siwan was about to retire in the bedchamber she had just moved into when she suddenly saw Su Qi standing beside her bed. His robes hung open as he knelt at her feet and said, “Your Majesty, please show this servant some affection.” Cover artist: Xing Yue Er (used with permission) [Content warnings] 1.

Coming soon: ① Fallen Buddha Mayflies live for a single day, from dawn to dusk. They are the least likely creatures in the world to cultivate the Dao. Yet a hundred years ago, a dying mayfly was accidentally enlightened by a revered monk. It gained intelligence, became a demon, and was given the name Chi You. Knowing her powers were weak, Chi You hid at the bottom of a lake after gaining her wits and devoted herself to cultivation. For a hundred years, she never slacked off. At last, she cultivated a human form. But the moment she poked her head above the water, she found the world turned upside down and in utter chaos. A revered monk had been trying to capture a snake demon wreaking havoc among mortals. The two fought their way here, until the holy monk struck the snake demon with a Buddhist seal and killed it. Chi You... was killed too. When she opened her eyes again, Chi You discovered she had become a prayer bead hanging around the holy monk's neck. The monk told her that he had killed an innocent by mistake, and would guide her to rebirth. Chi You: Fine, I suppose. He enlightened me a hundred years ago and kept me alive until now, and now he's sending me on my way. That's a fair trade. But guiding a demon to enlightenment was no easy task. So the monk, who had always been detached from worldly desires, embarked on a path he had never imagined taking. Every day, the moment he woke, he heard a woman prattling away: “Master, I'm so hungry. Boo-hoo, I really want some barbecue.” The master put on his monk's robes, took up his alms bowl, and offered to capture demons for people in exchange for a meal of barbecue. “Master, I'm bored. Do you have any storybooks?” The master, as elegant and bright as the moon, walked into a bookstore. He ignored the Buddhist scriptures and picked out only romance novels. Everyone praised the holy monk's compassion. For the sake of guiding one demon to enlightenment, he had gone to every possible length. But when the mayfly demon truly disappeared, the monk took off his robes and set down his bowl. Stubbornly, he searched the entire world for a way to make their time together last. Someone asked him, “What is it you want to last forever?” The monk answered, “The mayfly.” Among all the countless faces in the world, a mayfly in the mortal realm lives from dawn to dusk, longing for love to bloom. ② The Legendary Masterpiece Was Mine?! Lu Zhennian was born in the twenty-first year of Qingjun. He disappeared in the summer of Qingjun's fortieth year. No one knew where he went, and later generations all assumed he had died at nineteen. Whenever any history book mentions him, it ends with the same line: “He died far too young. What a pity.” He was the most renowned painter of the Qingjun era. He became famous at ten, and the last painting he completed before vanishing, The Immortal in the Painting, was known to everyone. The art world has always debated who the smiling woman in The Immortal in the Painting was. Some say she was a fairy from his dreams. Others say she was his wife. Some even claim she was his mother. But only Gu Lingwan knows they were all wrong. The woman in the painting was her. Lu Zhennian was never a genius. He was nothing but a complete and utter madman. Theme: As long as you're alive, there's hope.
