Blurb:

Chu Weiyang was once the most pampered young lady in the capital. The slightest pain or discomfort would make her burst into tears.

But when her elder sister died in childbirth and she was forcibly escorted to the palace by the Imperial Guards in a phoenix crown and bridal robes, she did not cry.

When the old emperor died and the palace ran red with blood, she still did not cry.

She held back her tears and escaped with her sister's young son, moving to another palace. Everyone said the once-spoiled girl had grown up.

But when she heard rumors that the new emperor had given a palace maid to Lord Wei Ming, the Eastern Depot's governor, as his companion, she stormed into the Eastern Depot that very night. In front of Wei Ming, she wept so hard she could barely catch her breath, then threatened him between sobs:

"If you dare bring her here, I'll, I'll cry until I flood this whole Eastern Depot!"

Every time the woman he loved cried, it felt as if a knife were carving into Wei Ming's heart.

He held the pampered girl and soothed her again and again, gentle and tender: "Whatever you say. Whatever you say."

He was the one who lifted her red bridal veil on their wedding night. He comforted her to sleep on the night of the palace coup. And after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was the one who stood by her at every turn.

Wei Ming's love for Chu Weiyang had always been clear to her.

But he believed he wasn't worthy of her, so he could only love her carefully, staying by her side whenever she wanted to cry but couldn't.

Wei Ming made Weiyang many promises, but he never dared to say those three words.

His love was so restrained and controlled that he had no idea she had already made her way into his heart, step by step, and would never leave.

Delicate yet strong young empress dowager × devoted, protective eunuch

The male lead is a real eunuch. Sweet romance, happy ending.

The palace intrigue and political machinations are very amateurish. The setting is entirely fictional.
