The White Moonlight of the Villainous Eunuch

Demonic cultivator and Eastern Depot governor X capable, cautious, scheming righteous heroine Jiang Cai is a wicked female supporting character, the legitimate daughter of the Prince of Dingbei's household, favored by the emperor. She's spoiled, willful, and academically hopeless. The heroine is her father's illegitimate daughter. Raised in a Taoist temple from childhood, she has mastered exorcism and is a beacon of righteousness. Jiang Cai's father, older brother, and childhood betrothed, whose engagement was agreed upon verbally, all favor her illegitimate older sister. Jiang Cai exists to keep courting death, helping her sister endure tribulations and rise anew, before finally being killed by the villainous chief eunuch who has a secret crush on her sister. One day, Jiang Cai suddenly sees the causal threads connecting her to the plot. The farther she gets from this world, the more fragile those threads become, and the greater her chance of escaping her predetermined fate. Jiang Cai decides to follow an immortal and cultivate the Dao, cutting the threads of fate. After she masters the Dao, she returns to the mortal realm and discovers that her family has been wiped out. The official in charge of the Jiang family's treason case is Nie Yushu, the chief of the Eastern Depot and the eunuch most favored by the emperor. Before entering the palace, Nie Yushu was a servant in the Jiang household, lowly in status and with a life as worthless as grass. The scar on his brow was left by Jiang Cai's whip when he was young. Only then does Jiang Cai realize that the young servant she was forced by the plot to torment was the villain who was supposed to kill her off in the original story. Jiang Cai: ... She knows when to bend and when to stand firm, so she sets aside her immortal's dignity and goes to his residence to beg for help. The cold, gloomy Eastern Depot governor sits upright in the great hall, lowering his lashes as he sneers. "Immortal Jiang has a long life and boundless magic. Why come begging to a lowly eunuch like me?" · As a young man, Nie Yushu fell for a noblewoman from a powerful family. Back then, she was a precious, high-born young lady, while he had ambitions as high as the sky and a life as cheap as grass. Later, he rose to power and prominence throughout the court, but she had already entered an immortal mountain, becoming the impossible dream he could only yearn for. Then one day, his white moonlight flew back from the immortal mountain. Nie Yushu has prepared a golden cage, waiting for her to clip her own wings and fly straight into his trap. Jiang Cai: ??? Governor Nie, you really need to get a taste of the overwhelming beatdown the cultivation world can dish out. Reading notes: 1. The story has a mortal realm arc and a cultivation realm arc. The mortal realm is set in a fictional world. 2. The male lead is a lovesick, insane, genuinely castrated eunuch and a true villain. He starts out physically intact, later castrates himself to pursue a career as a powerful eunuch, and will regain his body in the cultivation realm. 3. The heroine grows from a mischievous brat into a scheming black lotus. (Copy of the blurb saved in a screenshot dated 2020.10.24) Theme: Though lowly in station, his heart yearns for the moon
