Everyone in the capital knew that Mu Huizhen was infatuated with Pei Zibin.
Mu Huizhen was born into nobility, was beautiful, and was the most favored princess. Pei Zibin came from a distinguished family and was charming and carefree. It should have been a perfect match.
But Mu Huizhen loved him far too intensely: sending him pastries three times a day and lavish gifts ten times a month. She only wished she could go to his home and propose in person. Pei Zibin, the young master of the Pei family, could barely avoid her, and the entire capital watched the spectacle.
Just as Pei Zibin finally accepted his fate and prepared to accept the imperial marriage decree, Mu Huizhen waved her hand and said she didn't want him anymore.
Even the emperor was losing patience this time. "Who exactly do you want to marry?"
Mu Huizhen looked around, then casually pointed to the best-looking man.
The entire hall fell silent. Li Jiansu, the powerful eunuch of the court, was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a faint smile. "Very well."

They say pursuing a man is as easy as passing through a layer of gauze, but Mu Huizhen felt there was a sheet of tempered steel between her and Pei Zibin.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't win him over. With the emperor hurrying her to marry, she could only casually choose the husband who looked most pleasing to her eye.
As it turned out, she accidentally picked a eunuch, and he was more than willing. He absolutely wouldn't let her take it back...
Mu Huizhen looked at his cool, gentle face. Well, it wasn't such a bad deal after all.
-
Born lowly and living like an ant, Li Jiansu kept a bright moon in his heart. Even raising his head to look at it would be the height of desecration.
Who could have guessed that the moon would come to him?
One-on-one, happy ending, a sweet, doting romance with no angst. The male lead is sweet and innocent on the surface, but devious underneath, then genuinely sweet; the female lead is as straight as an arrow.
