Synopsis:
The little princess of the Southern Dynasty goes to marry a eunuch in the Northern Dynasty so she can steal a hidden treasure map.
To win Di Liangyu's trust, the princess puts her pride aside and does everything she can to please him.
The legendary Ninth Thousand Years, Di Liangyu, is ruthless, vicious, arrogant, and conceited. He only cares about her unusual blood.
He merely gives her attentive gestures a cold, mocking smile.
Then one day, he kills with his own hands the mother who had held herself above everyone else and treated him like an insect.
Condemned by everyone, he sneers and thinks nothing of it.
Only the little princess gets dead drunk, hooks her arm around his belt, and pulls him into her embrace.
"Your mother is dead. You must be so sad. There's no one left to care for you..."
He looks down at her quietly and, for the first time, doesn't push her away.
"It's okay. Xiuxiu likes you. Xiuxiu will take care of you..."
The little princess's eyes are hazy and shimmering with tears. She rises on tiptoe and plants a smacking kiss on his icy lips.
In that instant, a ripple suddenly stirs in his eyes.
Bonus scene:
At first:
On their wedding night, a servant asks what should be done with the bride.
"Do it, then bury her."
She hears his voice, cold and crisp, without a trace of feeling.
Later:
He hasn't seen her for barely half an hour, and he's turned the entire imperial city upside down.
"What are you looking for me for?" she asks, stumbling over her words.
"I couldn't find you..." He pulls her into his arms. "I started to panic."
He never imagined that the little demon who made trouble at every turn would become the one in his heart.
#Flamboyant, tsundere, beautiful eunuch × looks-obsessed, sweet-on-the-outside, scheming little princess#
[Author's note]
1. The male lead is a real eunuch. He wasn't fully castrated, so he's still got it!
Coming next: Beauty and the Eunuch
Shen Xueyan, the second daughter of the Chancellor's family, is the most beautiful sickly beauty in Luoyang. One smile from her could make fish forget to swim and geese forget to fly. Her willowy, frail figure has won the hearts of countless painters.
Renowned physicians claim Shen Xueyan won't live past sixteen.
On the thirteenth day of the sixth month, Shen Xueyan turns fifteen and comes of age.
The emperor visits the Chancellor's residence and sees how ill she looks.
She gasps after every three steps and coughs after every five.
Moved by the sight of such a beauty whose life is cut short, the emperor says:
"Young lady, is there anything you'd like to leave behind, cough, any wish you have?"
Shen Xueyan answers calmly, "There is someone I've loved since I was little."
The emperor takes an interest. "Is it the eldest son of the Zhou family, who serve as officials in the Court of Judicial Review, or the young heir of Prince He?"
Just then, in a corner of the banquet hall, Min Liansheng, the West Depot's director, who holds power over the court and commits every kind of evil, slowly raises his phoenix eyes. He sees the Second Miss Shen, rumored not to live past the end of the year, propping up her chin and smiling at him.
Min Liansheng suddenly has a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the emperor's decree arranging their marriage arrives at the residence that very night.
Bonus scene:
On the first day after the wedding, the pampered Second Miss Shen completely transforms the gloomy Director's residence. Before long, it has become a refined boudoir filled with birdsong and flowers.
Min Liansheng's thick brows draw down, his eyes dark, displeasure written all over his face.
Shen Xueyan, supervising the renovations, turns her head when she sees him return. She naturally takes his hand and pouts, "You're only just back."
Min Liansheng, who has always hated being touched, holds back his irritation.
After all, she won't live past the end of the year anyway.
Later, Min Liansheng, who never believed in gods or Buddhas, prays to every deity he can find and kneels wherever he goes, atoning for his own sins, all to beg for Shen Xueyan to live a long, long life.
1. The male lead is a real eunuch, and the heroine is a scheming beauty.
2. A female-A, male-O dynamic: the Director is the submissive one and the beauty takes the lead.
3. Marriage before love. The male lead comes around later.
