The Little Ancestor of the Eunuch Household

[A fake eunuch with a late-blooming passion x a ruthless, hard-hearted female refugee]

Zhong Xiu spends years fleeing with her family, enduring all the hardships of a troubled age.

Alone and on the verge of suffering an unspeakable fate, she decides to go down fighting and take someone with her.

A wall of flames blazes before her. A shadow in dark robes walks toward her against the fire.

Zhong Xiu cannot see his face, but she remembers his voice, cool as winter snow: "Why keep this little hellion around and invite trouble? We should send her to the enemy and let them deal with her!"

And so Zhong Xiu ends up accompanying the princess on her political marriage to the Southern Desert...

On the day the soldiers of her homeland's new dynasty lay siege to the Southern Desert capital,

Zhong Xiu bundles the princess away in a secret cave, then catches up with the Southern Desert king as he tries to flee the city. One slash, two lives!

Once again, she takes someone down with her, but this time Zhong Xiu smiles from the depths of her eyes.

Looking back on the road that brought her here, she regrets never asking that man whether this counts as repaying his kindness.

But as she lies dying, she hears winter snow falling once more: "Taking down the Southern Desert king is quite a feat. Bring her back to Liangdu and give her a proper burial. At least let her soul return to her homeland. It's the least we can do after her sacrifice!"

On a drizzly Qingming Festival in Liangdu, Zhong Xiu squats by her own grave with her eyes closed, listening to people chat.

"Hey, it's a shame Commander Lou died. Let's go light incense at his shrine later and pay our respects!"

Zhong Xiu trembles all over and snaps her eyes open.

Perhaps she tried too hard, because time has gone back ten years.

In the old imperial palace, there was once an official named Lou, the Emperor's chief seal-bearer. Born into a distinguished family, he was handsome and refined, and by the age of fifteen, the young gentleman of Jiangling was famous throughout the land.

But after his grandfather died and his entire clan was executed, the young gentleman of Jiangling narrowly escaped the same fate because he was away on a scholarly journey.

Yet he chose to return to the capital and enter the palace. For a long time afterward, officials throughout the court feared this powerful chief eunuch.

When the new dynasty was established, Lou, who had helped the new emperor ascend the throne, grew even more arrogant.

He berated ministers whenever he pleased and mouthed off to the emperor when he had nothing better to do.

And yet, whenever the new emperor met him in private, he had to call him Uncle!

Inside the bed curtains, Zhong Xiu wears a dudou. Her eyes are red as she asks hoarsely, unable to understand.

"Sir, you aren't even a eunuch. Why cling to the position of chief seal-bearer, and why do you have to do the new emperor's bookkeeping?"

Lou Qiansui gazes at her lively face and presses her down beneath him.

"Because only by standing high enough and doing well enough can I afford to keep you, you little menace!"

Coming soon: 1. When the Chief Councilor Couple Drop Their Masks

As the youngest chief councilor in a century, Pei Zhihe is a man of refined character and distinguished birth, reserved and composed.

His wife, Gu Yunqin, is the legitimate daughter of an official family. The Empress Dowager herself has praised her as gentle, virtuous, and exceptionally talented.

Everyone envies the couple, a perfect match in looks and talent.

Pei Zhihe does not object to this marriage arranged by imperial decree.

After all, Gu Yunqin has been well trained since childhood. She has never put a foot wrong in honoring her in-laws, managing the household, or dealing with others.

Apart from the fact that he must restrain himself every time they perform their marital duties, Pei Zhihe is fairly satisfied with his wife.

One day, Pei Zhihe accepts a colleague's invitation to a banquet. On his way back after washing his hands, he happens to pass a corner window.

He suddenly hears his usually dignified and elegant wife say, "Why do you think I wanted to marry a military man when I was young? I wanted that raw, vigorous, straightforward roughness in bed! Not this half-hearted fumbling through layers of clothing, always stopping after a taste. It's terribly dull."

Another woman asks, "Why don't you talk to Prime Minister Pei? How can you go on like this otherwise?"

"I'll put up with it for now. With him buried in paperwork like this, I might become a widow soon enough. Then I can find someone I actually like and keep him for myself."

Pei Zhihe's face turns as dark as water.

That night, Gu Yunqin goes to the study as usual to bring her husband ginseng soup.

Before the maid carrying the food box can follow her inside, someone pulls her in and roughly presses her onto the desk, tying her hands with his belt.

Gu Yunqin looks back with trembling eyes, her voice still dignified. "Husband, what are you doing?"

Pei Zhihe shows her the glistening evidence at his fingertips, his tone stern and malicious. "Why pretend you don't know, Madam? You're so excited your waist has gone limp!"

◇Unexpected Daddy x pure, alluring beauty | Mutual pining becomes real | They choose each other | All sweetness, no angst

Tu Shu likes someone.

He is refined and brilliant, exceptionally handsome, and has stood at the top of the pyramid since birth.

His life is mysterious yet predictable, with few surprises.

And she is probably the one surprise...

The first time they truly meet, Tu Shu looks up at him and softly calls, "Uncle Yao."

First he becomes her guardian. Later, at her request, he agrees to become her designated guardian.

Tu Shu stays quiet and tries not to bother him, doing her best to hide her fantasies, yet she cannot help wanting to get closer to him.

But her dignified, distant Uncle Yao seems so far away, so unattainable.

Later...

Chi Junyao roughly pins her against the wall. "Tu Shu, who am I?"

Tu Shu softly calls him, "Uncle Yao."

Chi Junyao grips her chin, anger surging in his eyes. "I'll ask you one more time. Who am I?"

Tu Shu: "My husband..."

At dawn, Tu Shu sleeps curled up beneath a pale yellow quilt. Her brow furrows as she turns over, as if she's uncomfortable.

Chi Junyao, sitting against the headboard and reading documents, sees this and reaches out to pull her into his arms.

Tu Shu murmurs sleepily, "Uncle Yao."

Chi Junyao's gaze darkens. He soothes her gently: "Say it one more time..."
