The Princess and the Chief Eunuch

Also known as: Princess Chaoxi

A brave and battle-hardened princess x a ruthless, loyal chief eunuch of the Eastern Depot

Emperor Chu had a daughter in his old age. The whole realm celebrated, and he named her Princess Chaoxi.

As the emperor's daughter, Chaoxi preferred swords and spears to cosmetics. She tamed wild horses at five, hunted wild beasts at eight, and killed enemies on the battlefield to earn military honors at fourteen.

Chaoxi always believed that if a man could do something, so could she.

The chief eunuch Yue Heyuan was handsome, cold, and ruthless. At sixteen, he had secured the position of Director of the Eastern Depot and wielded power across the court.

Only when he saw Princess Chaoxi did Yue Heyuan's eyes fill with tenderness and submission.

The princess was a skilled warrior, and a foreign kingdom sought her hand in marriage. Several ministers voiced their support. That very night, every household among them was slaughtered.

In the princess's bedchamber, Yue Heyuan knelt before Chaoxi, blood smeared across his face. Chaoxi pulled the jade hairpin from Yue Heyuan's hair and carved a deep bloody mark between her own brows.

Tears welled in Yue Heyuan's eyes. His heart ached unbearably.

Chaoxi gently stroked Yue Heyuan.

"A Yuan, don't keep thinking about killing people, little one. Just stay by my side and be good, won't you?"

That year, nine-year-old Chaoxi saved six-year-old Yue Heyuan.

That year, six-year-old Yue Heyuan carved Chaoxi's name into his very bones.

1v1, both leads' first and only love, mutual devotion. Entirely fictional setting.

Content warning: the male lead is a true eunuch.

Please add my upcoming story, The General Is Pregnant, So Calm Down (Women-Focused World).

Su Wanyin transmigrated into a women-focused world more than ten years ago, and had already been empress for two years. General Shi Chai, a formidable warrior who had never taken a single day off, suddenly requested leave. She asked for a whole year.

Su Wanyin was anxious. Snowlands lay to the north, and barbarians to the south, both eyeing Fengyi hungrily.

The two kingdoms had never dared to make a move because Shi Chai was there to hold the line. With Shi Chai on leave, Su Wanyin couldn't relax.

Su Wanyin secretly went to visit the general's residence. In the back garden, she saw Shi Chai emerge from the pond, wearing nothing but a sheer robe, her belly slightly rounded with pregnancy.

Their eyes met. Su Wanyin thought:

"Holy crap, when did my formidable general turn into a man? And she's, she's pregnant! Which reckless scoundrel did this?"

Su Wanyin turned to run, but a cold sword was already at her throat.

"Since the general is ill, you should stay home and take good care of yourself. I'll be going now."

She had meant to flee, but the sword pressed closer and closer. Su Wanyin felt the anger of the person behind her. A cold voice came from behind:

"Your Majesty has a harem of three thousand. You don't have me in your heart, and you don't take responsibility for me. I can bear that. But Your Majesty, if you won't even protect your own child, then even if I have to kill the emperor, I'll keep this baby safe."

Su Wanyin's pupils shrank. "The scoundrel... was me????"

1v1, both leads' first and only love. Male pregnancy.

Entirely fictional setting, with a later plotline about running away while pregnant. Stay tuned.

Blurb ID: 7208521

Xu Zhimeng was struck by lightning during a team-building event and transmigrated into a women-focused novel along with her boss.

In an instant, Xu Zhimeng's fortunes changed. She became the legitimate daughter of a marquis's household, doted on by her elders, with an inheritance and no worries about food or drink.

As for her boss, he transmigrated into the role of her spoiled and overbearing husband.

In the book, the original character was a cannon-fodder female side character with her head in the clouds over love. One day, she got drunk and tried to consummate the marriage with her husband, only to be beaten to death.

Xu Zhimeng clutched her injured head. She was going to find out what kind of man would dare treat his wife like that.

In the dim dungeon, once she saw his handsome face, Xu Zhimeng froze. He was just as stunned.

Xu Zhimeng called over a nearby guard and whispered, "Bury him."

Chang Xifeng: ...

Their positions were switched. Xu Zhimeng became Chang Xifeng's boss. If he earned enough money for her, she would set him free.

Xu Zhimeng looked at the check marks in the ledger. "Target met. As promised, I'll set you free."

Chang Xifeng looked displeased, closed the door, then lay flat. "There's one more thing I haven't done."

Xu Zhimeng: ?

Chang Xifeng blushed. "Have your baby."

Xu Zhimeng was aghast. "I never set that as a task!"

Chang Xifeng gritted his teeth. "I did!"
