[Female Lead's Blurb]
Ever since Li Shurong transmigrated into the body of a princess, she had been in a daze.
"The country's lifespan is my lifespan." Seeing the court decline and the country teeter on the brink of chaos, she racked her brains for a way to separate herself from the imperial family as soon as possible.
At last, she came up with a "brilliant" plan: become a Daoist nun!
Although her stepmother in name and her imperial brother both disapproved of her idea.
Although her cheap imperial father was still considering sending her off to marry the military governor who was about to rebel.
Although the handsome eunuch by her side, who seemed clever, loyal, and occasionally a little ruthless, had been urging her in an ambiguous tone to give up the idea.
None of this could make her give up.
Li Shurong firmly believed that the road to the future would surely be bright!
A free life would come one day!
[Male Lead's Blurb]
A eunuch is a household servant.
A household servant rising above his master is a sign that the dynasty is in decline.
A cold-blooded, cunning eunuch who would stop at nothing to climb the ranks met a true obstacle on his way to the pinnacle of power.
She was merely one of many noble princesses.
She simply stood there, smiling gently at him.
She simply draped a crane-feather cloak over his shoulders.
And so he fell in too deep, making one mistake after another until he plunged into an endless abyss.
"Guess what I'm looking at?" she asked, smiling as she turned the question back on him.
"They are me," she had once pointed out to him as well.
He had scoffed, having long since abandoned the path he came from.
What trapped the princess of Qi was the imperial palace, the rebel generals who had carved up the northern lands, and the starving common people.
"I cannot give the princess freedom unless I die."
What trapped a powerful eunuch of the court, like a chain that kept Xue Yongchen clinging to the last vestige of a house dog's servility, was the princess of Qi.
A calculating, ruthless eunuch who claws his way to the top × a princess who wants nothing more than to leave the palace
