I'll Take This Eunuch

Blurb:

Ronghua, a princess, died a lonely death in the cold palace of an enemy kingdom, all because she believed the sweet words of a prince of the Jinwu Kingdom. Reborn after her death, she returned to the age of sixteen, when her kingdom was strong and her father doted on her. Everything was yet to begin.

That day, Meng Gou arrived on time, just as he had in her previous life, claiming he wanted to marry her. Her gaze swept over the crowd and landed on one man. The memory of him dying beneath the city walls as enemy soldiers poured into the capital was etched into her heart.

"Father, last night Ronghua gave her virtue to Eunuch Wei."

Meng Gou: !

Wei Qi thought: She didn't even pay me, and she dares to ruin my reputation? No way.

"Your Majesty, the princess..." He stepped to her side, and she slipped a stack of banknotes into his hand. Wei Qi changed his tune. "...is telling the truth."

Meng Gou: !!!

Ever since he was fifteen, Wei Qi had dreamed that he was struck by a hundred blades and died beneath the walls of the imperial city. So he decided to save enough money to get far away from the palace.

That night, at the banquet, Princess Ronghua said something shocking. But she was offering far too much for him to refuse.

When they met again, Princess Ronghua leaned close to his ear to avoid Meng Gou, who was hurrying over. "Money only, no feelings?"

He obligingly put an arm around her. "It's this servant's guiding principle. Feelings cost money."

Later, she showered him with money, and he entertained her without selling his body.

Not long after, the two kingdoms went to war. He led the army and destroyed the Jinwu Kingdom, but when he returned, he saw Princess Ronghua flying a kite with the newly appointed top scholar, smiling brightly.

Oh, this damn jealousy. The broadsword in his hand was itching to move.

Little scene:

He knelt before her with a stack of banknotes taller than himself. "I'll pay a thousand taels for every word the princess says to me."

She smiled at him. "No. I'll say one word, and you burn one banknote."

A little princess who protects her kingdom and lives a peaceful life x a fake eunuch who dreams of being showered with money
