The Powerful Eunuch's Beautiful Bride

Coming soon after The Golden Branch, please add it to your library! Blurb below.

On her way to Qingzhou, Zhao Shiyi ran into a gang of bandits. Luckily, the Brush-holding Eunuch Wang Zhichan came to her rescue, saving her from danger. She thanked him profusely, deeply grateful.

But Wang Zhichan turned out to be a beast in fine clothes. By day, he was aloof and cold, but every night he would sneak into Zhao Shiyi's bedchamber to whisper sweet nothings and cuddle with her.

To escape Wang Zhichan's entanglements and marry her fiance without a hitch, Zhao Shiyi decided to work with someone else to have Wang Zhichan exiled to the frontier.

She failed to get rid of Wang Zhichan, and her fiance died in battle. Alas, what a tragedy! Zhao Shiyi went from being a rich, beautiful trump card to a despised, husband-killing cannon-fodder character. What was she supposed to do now?

Zhao Shiyi was so worried and miserable she grew thinner than a flower in autumn. Wang Zhichan showed up at the Zhao family's door with a fortune in betrothal gifts and shot her a sidelong smile. "Don't even think you can escape my grasp!"

The male lead's version:

The powerful eunuch Wang Zhichan was ruthless, vicious, and infamous. He had the officials of the entire court completely under his thumb.

When he first met Zhao Shiyi, he saw how rebellious she was and resolved to tame her into a docile little bunny. He never imagined that not only would he fail to tame Zhao Shiyi, but he would end up at her feet instead.

Zhao Shiyi eats, he does the dishes.

Zhao Shiyi causes trouble, he cleans up after her.

The powerful Brush-holding Eunuch of the Directorate of Ceremonial turned into a devoted, hard-working lapdog.

Most importantly, he was perfectly happy to do it and couldn't get enough.

The Golden Branch

Gu Mei was virtuous, gentle, and humble, yet her husband and his concubine teamed up to torment her. She died young, her life cut short by sorrow and resentment.

Then, one day, Gu Mei was reborn. She decided to live differently: beat the concubine, put her husband in his place, wear finery, spend freely, and live with wild abandon.

The concubine refused to give up. She slipped Gu Mei a cup of drugged wine and sent her to a page's bed. But when the concubine arrived with a crowd to catch them in the act, she found that the man in bed was not a page, but the reigning emperor, Fu Heng.

Fu Heng was elegant, upright, and accomplished in both virtue and talent. The only scandalous thing he ever did was forcibly take his nephew's wife, Gu Mei.

To the emperor, Gu Mei was a blade that could take his life, a medicine that could cure him, and poison wrapped in honey.

Even if it meant defying the whole world, he would keep her by his side and indulge in pleasure with her every day!

Gu Mei wanted money, power, and freedom. The one thing she didn't want was the love that had once broken her heart. After careful planning, she finally escaped the palace on a dark and stormy night.

The biting wind howled. Elite troops in full armor surrounded the capital, leaving no way out. Fu Heng stared at the bundle on Gu Mei's shoulder and asked softly, "Jiaojiao, where are you going?"
