After Our Divorce, the Eunuch and I Got a Happy Ending

Chun Xing only remembered at the moment of her death that she'd transmigrated into a book, becoming the heroine of an angsty romance she'd once cursed out.

In her previous life, she followed the plot, loving Prince Ten with all her heart, only to end up freezing to death in the palace.

Given another life, Chun Xing says: To hell with following the plot. Love whoever you want. I'm done serving you.

In the twentieth year of Mingde, eunuchs meddle in government and throw the court into chaos.

The Eastern and Western Depots are causing trouble up front, while the Directorate of Ceremonial has seized power behind the scenes.

Only the Directorate's chief eunuch, Ji Ning, is handsome and a favorite of the emperor. He may be self-righteous, snide, cruel, ambitious, arrogant, and a dead eunuch, but...

Fortune favors the bold.

Chun Xing grits her teeth and decides to cling to this golden thigh.

--

Ji Ning: Why do you keep chasing after me?

Chun Xing covers her face and acts coy: Because... I have feelings for you, Eunuch.

Ji Ning: ...?! I'm leaving.

What do you do when the golden thigh won't let you cling to it?

Chun Xing: You don't get a say in it.

--Later

Chun Xing gets her wish, and her glorious deeds become famous throughout the land.

Steward: Your Highness~

Prince Ten: Speak!

Steward, hesitantly: You've had the Princess Consort thrown into the palace for a year now.

Prince Ten, unconcerned: So has she admitted she was wrong?

Steward: The Princess Consort married Eunuch Ji of the Directorate of Ceremonial.

[Reading guide]

1. The heroine and the prince are married in name only; they're both completely innocent. The male lead is a real eunuch, and not exactly a good person.

2. This is an alternate-history setting, very loosely based on history. Please don't nitpick the details.

3. Happy ending, one-on-one romance. The heroine pursues the hero at first, but initially only to cling to his power. Sweet, sweet, sweet! If it's not sweet, you can punch me.

Theme: Though we lack the wings of colorful phoenixes, our hearts share a single thread of understanding.
