Everyone at court knows that Ning Yu, the Directorate of Ceremonial's chief eunuch, has a face as lovely as a woman's and a heart blacker than the King of Hell's.
His methods are cruel and his schemes deceitful. He is a blade in the emperor's hand.
Point him at someone and he will stab them, every time.
The court officials only dare curse him behind his back as "a eunuch's lackey."
But only Ning Yu herself knows that she stopped wanting to be this blade long ago.

A little scene:
One night, beneath a bright moon and sparse stars, Emperor Yuanfeng was in high spirits, so he took Ning Yu up to the observatory.
Looking out over the lands below, he laughed, full of ambition.
"A Yu, look. This is the splendid realm I conquered for you."
Ning Yu calmly gathered her cloak around herself and replied coolly,
"This is the ten thousand li of realm I guarded for you."
A cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside female chief eunuch x a ruthless emperor who hides a dark side behind a gentle facade
Theme: A story about the heroine standing on her own two feet.
