Singing Freely

Simple version:

Ten years ago, the male and female leads first met, and she fell for him at first sight. But fate had other plans: after his family fell into misfortune, a twist of fate sent him into the palace, where he became a eunuch.

Ten years later, they meet again. The female lead disguises herself as a man and becomes a renowned young general, while the male lead earns the emperor's trust and becomes the influential Director Wen.

He recognizes her at first sight, but doesn't dare reveal himself. He can only hide his feelings deep inside, silently watching over and helping her like moss in a shadowy corner.

After realizing she likes him, the female lead launches into a bold, shameless pursuit...

Literary version:

She is a young hero. He is a powerful eunuch.

She is outspoken and proud. He is modest and appreciative of talent.

She is reckless and fearless in her youth. He is refined, courteous, and as gentle as jade.

History has many stories about their love. Whether shocking or scandalous, praised or condemned, public opinion can make the truth seem real, and endless slander can destroy a reputation. What do rumors matter?

Warnings:

1. This is a wholly fictional setting, with elements from different dynasties, and even Republican-era poetry. The dynasties, place names, and official titles are all made up, so they might take you out of the story.

2. The male lead is a real eunuch.

One-on-one romance

Yang Huiyue is the most debauched princess in the fifteen kingdoms of Jiuzhou. For years, she has sent people to search the streets for men, not to recruit the virtuous, but to fill her harem. If a man refuses, she has him seized off the street.

Once the princess sets her sights on someone, not even court officials or sons of noble families are spared.

The princess has a special residence for her male favorites, called the Crane-Raising Bureau. Its handsome men come in every kind: dignified, gentle as jade, noble and elegant, domineering and cold. You can imagine any type you like, and the bureau has him.

Talk of her lecherous exploits spreads through every street and alley, full of explicit details.

In Jiankang, young men start wearing masks for fear she'll notice them.

Later, the princess raises an army in rebellion and becomes the female emperor of Da Shen.

As soon as she takes the throne, she overhauls the court, appointing all the male favorites from the Crane-Raising Bureau as officials.

A debauched princess and a court full of ministers who traded on their looks: the people are up in arms. Da Shen is doomed!

But things don't unfold as everyone expects. The princess ascends the throne amid the bows of her civil and military officials. From then on, she reforms government and works diligently for the people. She may be quiet, but when she acts, she astonishes the world.

The most glorious era in the history of Shen begins under her rule...
