The eunuch Wang Mingchi died by a thousand cuts.
Only after his death did he realize that he was the despised villainous eunuch from a popular tale, destined to be reviled for all eternity.
Fortunately, he was reborn and gained a new skill: Mind Reading.
Then Wang Mingchi discovered...
His emperor, who had always trusted him, thought: [I need to find a way to kill Wang Mingchi!]
His childhood friend, who kept insisting she didn't mind his disability: [How can I elope with my lover if that Wang fellow doesn't die?]
Several sycophants in the bureaucracy: [With eunuchs in power, the country is doomed. Wang Mingchi is ruining the nation and will die without a proper burial sooner or later.]
The people closest to him, the ones he trusted most, were all harboring ill will toward him.
At first, Wang Mingchi was astonished, even heartbroken.
Later, he would merely lower his eyes a little and smile faintly. Looking at them with warmly smiling eyes, he would softly answer their malice: "Sure. Then I'll make sure you die even more miserably than me."
The only person whose thoughts Wang Mingchi could never read was the female assassin he had accidentally recruited.
She was beautiful and unhinged, ruthless and decisive. To his face, she treated him coldly, yet again and again she stood between him and danger, saving him from peril. She was willing to commit violence for his sake, and even risk her life for him.
She was the only person in the world who treated him with wholehearted kindness, never asking him for anything in return.
Could she... could she be in love with him?
Could she love him so much but be bad at expressing it, and this was the only way she knew how to show it?
At this realization, Wang Mingchi's heart skipped a beat.
After that, Wang Mingchi stopped treating the female assassin as a cold blade. He would send medicine and an umbrella when she trained in the rain. When she tried to take a blade for him, he would turn around and shield her instead. When she dressed herself up to lure greedy officials who lusted after beauty into a trap, he would worry so much he couldn't sleep.
In his own way, he gradually returned her "affection."
But one day, a thought suddenly popped into the female assassin's mind: [Good boy. I'm so proud of you.]
Wang Mingchi, the great villainous eunuch: ????
Yun Zhou, the little assassin: To be honest, you're actually a son I raised in a mobile game. I watched three full minutes of ads to buy you a chance to be reborn, and I paid real money for your Mind Reading skill. So you'd better get your act together. Work hard on the main storyline and become the ultimate winner so I can return to the real world, eat and drink well, and enjoy the wonderful life modern technology has created.

After Yun Zhou entered the mobile game, she devoted herself to raising Wang Mingchi, doing everything she could to help him become the greatest eunuch in history. It was the only way she could return to the real world.
Until one day
He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "You can't just run off after using me."
Yun Zhou was startled when her secret was exposed.
The next second, Wang Mingchi said slowly and deliberately, "If you're going to use me, use me for the rest of your life."
A wicked beauty, a gorgeous female assassin who is a master of unhinged romance writing X a shadowy eunuch overflowing with brokenness and prone to imagining things
P.S. Happy ending. The male lead is a real eunuch.
