The Eunuch Director Seems a Little Off

Synopsis:

Xie Wujiang, the powerful Director of the Western Depot, prides himself on having neither heart nor feelings. Love in this world lasts no more than a fleeting moment, and can never outweigh imperial power.

Only after he was killed did he realize that the person who had stayed by his side for eight years, and whom he had constantly kept at arm's length, had loved him so deeply!

Hua Yu was born without parents. Her master found her by the roadside and brought her back to Wujian Valley.

Then she met a handsome young man with a face as fair as white jade. She fell in love before she knew it, and the feeling only grew deeper. Only by staying at his side did she feel that the time she spent in this world had not been wasted.

After that, word spread throughout the martial world that the number-one assassin of Wujian Valley, the Judge, had been recruited by the Director of the Western Depot. She stayed by his side for eight years and loved him for eight years, but he was always on guard against her and constantly used her.

Enough, enough, she thought with a rueful smile. This world is so dull. I'll take one more blow for you, but next time you'll have to fend for yourself.

Xie Wujiang was reborn three years after the day they first met. The more time he spent with her, the more he felt that he must have been manipulated by someone back then. Otherwise, why had he always thought she wanted to harm him?

When Hua Yu woke up one morning, she found that the Director, who was usually so impatient with her, was acting strangely. Why was he looking at her with such a clingy gaze?!

Su Mian's father was the county yamen's coroner, but he suddenly disappeared while on official business, and Su Mian searched everywhere without finding him.

One of her father's former colleagues couldn't bear to keep silent. He secretly told her to stop searching, because it seemed her father had been taken away by the imperial family.

At that time, the sixth prince, Mei Songjin, was ordered to leave the capital on an inspection tour.

To find her father, Su Mian swallowed her impatience and deliberately set about seducing him with tender affection. She cooked for him, sewed his clothes, and made every move according to his preferences.

Mei Songjin: She must be the woman fate chose for me. She's beautiful, kind, innocent, and loves me so much. But I can't spoil her too much, or she might start taking advantage of my affection.

He had known since childhood that love was like warfare. You had to keep the upper hand at all times, or you'd end up like his father, nothing but his mother's lackey.

Fortunately, Su Mian was sweet and sensible, with eyes and a heart for him alone. He only had to put in a little effort to keep the whole situation under control.

He was the one in control of this game of love.

That is, until Mei Songjin saw Su Mian sitting face-to-face with the handsome new top scholar, Liu Huaiying, smiling sweetly at him.

Mei Songjin put on a fake smile and pretended not to care. "Maybe they're old acquaintances. There's nothing wrong with meeting up."

The next moment, Su Mian's eyes reddened as she murmured about how much she had missed him, and Liu Huaiying reached out fondly to caress her cheek.

Mei Songjin: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

When they faced off, Su Mian, whose father had already been reinstated, stood her ground. "We can keep seeing each other if this works. If it doesn't, let's end things sooner rather than later."

In this game of love, Mei Songjin was the only one left heartbroken. He couldn't understand why the woman who had been calling him "My dear Mei" so lovingly just last night had changed her tune so quickly.

After taking many detours, Mei Songjin finally won his beloved's heart. He sincerely admired his father, the very man he'd always thought of as a lackey: So the emperor is the real master of this game!
