Has the Supreme Empress Dowager Gone Slack? (Female-Dominant Society), blurb below
After unifying the realm, Jiang Anqing abdicates and retires to Shoukang Palace, becoming the supreme Empress Dowager.
During a court audience, a young eunuch who has just entered the palace accidentally bumps into her and spills tea all over her. Seeing how terrified he is, she can't be bothered to punish him.
But when she sees him again, not a patch of skin on his body is uninjured. He clings to her feet, crying and begging for mercy.
Only then does Jiang Anqing learn that someone punished the young eunuch in private after the incident. Furious that her subordinates pretended to obey her while acting behind her back, Jiang Anqing severely punishes those who broke the rules.
The young eunuch takes this to mean that the Supreme Empress Dowager is protecting him, and pesters Jiang Anqing to take him back to Shoukang Palace.
Apart from his many scars, the young eunuch has fair skin, gentle features, and a soft voice. He sounds quite lovely when he cries. Jiang Anqing finds herself amused, so she keeps him by her side to serve her.

Since Jing Yi entered Shoukang Palace, many court beauties have tried to bribe him for the Supreme Empress Dowager's daily schedule, all hoping to climb into that phoenix bed.
But no matter how much silver they offer, they can't pry open Jing Yi's lips. Sometimes he even makes a sarcastic remark or two, earning plenty of enemies who wait for the day he loses favor so they can trample him.
Unfortunately for them, no one knows what methods Jing Yi used, but he keeps rising higher and higher by the Supreme Empress Dowager's side until he becomes the chief eunuch. Everyone who sees him has to respectfully call him Eunuch Jing.

One night, a palace servant passing by Shoukang Palace hears a kitten-like crying from inside the courtyard. Curious, they peer over the wall.
Once they see what's happening, their face turns red. They cover it and flee in a panic.
Who could have imagined that Eunuch Jing, who is always cold-faced and peculiar in public, could cry so prettily by the Supreme Empress Dowager's side?
[Bonus scene]
Inside Shoukang Palace, Jiang Anqing closes her eyes, enjoying a massage from the person behind her, and complains with some exasperation, "Those men in the harem never go to the Empress's consort with their problems. They all fight to come to me instead. How am I supposed to deal with all their petty little issues?"
She only meant it in passing, but Jing Yi takes it to heart, his eyes turning cold.
Before dawn, the palace road connecting the harem to Shoukang Palace is blocked off. No one is allowed to pass through.
Jing Yi personally patrols, swishing his horsetail whisk. The various consorts of the harem don't dare breathe too loudly when they see him. Everyone knows the Supreme Empress Dowager favors him. Even the reigning empress must address him as Eunuch Jing, never by his full name.

I, Wang Cui, am a part of your play.
With Wang Cui's virtue, how did the male protagonist keep his body?

My father was slapped with blood in his mouth when he retorted. He was authoritarian and cruel. Even beating him with a stick would be better than this. If it were me, I would never forgive such a mother in my life.
I don't understand why he can go to the heroine's house to celebrate the New Year. Even if his true identity is not known to the heroine's family, I feel that the heroine has no sense of propriety.
Wang Cui is like a gloomy beagle, living in the village
I kind of don't understand how the male protagonist can still remain innocent in Wang Cui's hands 😂 😂
Both of them have a hobby of collecting things... When they get together in the future, the things they have collected can be packed into a big box and put together.
I stayed up late to read it, I loved it T_T
It is basically impossible for srds to cultivate 30 acres by one person. In ancient times when agriculture was not mechanized, 3-5 acres of land was as big as the sky. Otherwise, go buy a cow. I feel so tired. I can't figure out why I need to farm.
