Eunuch, Please Don’t Cry

Honestly, Guan Shanyue has been in a bad mood lately, all because she casually saved a eunuch and never expected him to cling to her afterward.

But her sect has a rule: disciples are absolutely forbidden from associating with eunuchs.

So when Wei Wujiao, the Governor of the Western Depot, appeared before her, she had only one reaction: "Someone get this damn eunuch out of here!"

To her surprise, the eunuch pulled a purse from his clothes and tossed it in front of her. "There are thirty thousand taels in banknotes here. Be my bodyguard for three years."

Guan Shanyue was dumbfounded. How much money could she earn wandering the martial world her whole life? For all that shining silver, she decided to betray her sect. Fortune favors the bold!

At first, she thought being a bodyguard wouldn't be a big deal. But things gradually started to change.

She said she didn't like spicy food. He said he'd happened to buy some sweet cakes and couldn't finish them.

She said people were always stealing her business. He said one of their shops was about to go under.

She said someone had fallen for her. He said that person had committed treason and their entire clan had been executed.

Until one day, she said:

"Wei Wujiao, three years have passed, and then another three. I should go back and get married."

The Governor of the Western Depot, usually so arrogant and ruthless, suddenly clung to her and cried uncontrollably.

"Xiaoyue, I know I'm a eunuch and don't deserve you, but please stay a little longer... just a little longer..."

Guan Shanyue wiped away his tears helplessly.

"There, there. I can stay, but it'll cost you extra."

Sold to a troupe at five, turned into a eunuch at eight, neither man nor woman. I've suffered countless hardships in this life, yet I've never shed a tear or so much as blinked back one.

Until I met her. For her, I cried and cried again.

To me, she is a rare and precious ray of light,

and that light shines on me alone.
