A sweet, flirtatious princess who looks like a sesame rice ball x a purehearted gentlemanly eunuch impostor who has husband material written all over him
#MyNemesisAndIGoHeadToHeadInAnActingShowdown#
On the night of her sixteenth birthday, Bai Cang, the most revered princess in the land, had a prophetic dream.
In the dream, she stopped at nothing and spent her life fighting Chancellor Cen, who was as cool as frost and as steadfast as bamboo, all to protect the empire for her elder brother.
In the end, she and Cen Weiqiao destroyed each other.
She was full of relief that she had done her duty, only for her cowardly, incompetent elder brother to help Cen Weiqiao to his feet and casually grant her a strip of white silk to hang herself with.
Bai Cang: "..."
When she opened her eyes, she gratefully felt her chest.
Thank goodness the all-powerful Chancellor Cen was still just a junior eunuch at her side.
She would cling to Cen Weiqiao's coattails. Why fight him? Staying alive mattered most!
-
Cen Weiqiao, a descendant of the former dynasty, endured humiliation and disguised himself as a eunuch to enter the imperial palace, all for the sake of restoring his dynasty one day.
The princess was his first step toward the center of power.
At night, a little head suddenly poked out of his blankets.
Bai Cang: "It's late and the dew is heavy. You're my eunuch, so why aren't you here to warm my bed?"
Cen Weiqiao: "..."
Wait, is this how you're supposed to get close to the princess?
-
Later, Cen Weiqiao still chose to leave her.
The old wound Cen Weiqiao had inflicted himself ached faintly on a rainy night.
She spoke one word at a time. "Do you regret it?"
He turned around.
He could just make out a beauty's blade, like the moon shining on a spring night.
He said, "I don't regret it."
All in all, this is a sweet-and-sour romance with a tart plum flavor, about two people who scheme against each other but both fall in love for real.
