In her previous life, Zhao Sirou refused to believe it even as death loomed: the consort who had shared her heart for three years had seized the throne from her Zhao family and bestowed a white silk cord upon her.
Reborn, she awoke before her father, the emperor, arranged her marriage. She was still the pampered little princess, treasured and adored, and the tragedy had yet to happen.
In this new life, she would stand on her own, shine by herself, protect her country, and bring peace and prosperity to the realm.
Huh? Wasn't this the Director of Ceremonial and Commander of the Eastern Depot who had enabled the tyrant in her previous life and looked on without a flicker of feeling as she died? Why was he now serving tea before the emperor, looking so weak?
So the princess, always so proud and haughty, had recently taken to looking after Shen Lan, a low-ranking eunuch, and showering him with kindness.
Shen Lan: What do I do when this charming princess keeps flirting with me?
Zhao Sirou: Pamper him, flirt with him, win him over, and then make him do whatever I say.
At last, the day came when Zhao Sirou had finished her plans to bring the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard under her control. To her surprise, Shen Lan handed over the forces he had risked his life to obtain.
But why was he looking at her so strangely, with a cryptic smile on that face as cold as ice for a thousand years?
After an unexpected brush with danger, Zhao Sirou discovered that she was the one person someone had never forgotten across two lifetimes. That someone was none other than Shen Lan, the sinister and scheming Director of Ceremonial whom everyone avoided like a snake or scorpion.
No one knew that the vicious, devious eunuch, the revered "Old Ancestor" in everyone's eyes, kept a little "ancestor" of his own in his heart.
P.S. One-on-one, both leads' first time, happy ending. He may be a real eunuch, but it still works.
Theme: Help each other thrive and join hands to rule the realm.
Congratulations on signing the contract, cheers on Dada

Looks good! Very touching!
It's not easy to be this brother
What a fast car! (?ω?)
Hahahahahahaha, I'm so worried about my brother.
Good guy, I jumped here directly. I always feel like the male protagonist is...
I still want to ask if he is a real eunuch. I don't understand what it means.
What a mistake. In the last chapter, I guessed the boy named He. Alas.
Aren't the robbers ready to come out? It must be that boy named He
