After Being Forced to Marry a Eunuch

Ye Peihan transmigrated into a scheming political intrigue novel as a fake hostage who was skilled at plotting. The palace was rife with danger, and the emperor's spies had quietly surrounded him.

Ye Peihan: ? A wise man knows when to yield.

He was already living at someone else's mercy, so why stir up trouble or make waves? He only had one life to lose.

Knowing he wouldn't live long, Ye Peihan pretended to be crazy and foolish, acted like a spoiled wastrel, and immersed himself in the pleasure quarters. This was how he managed to survive.

But then the Sheng Dynasty's emperor lured him into a trap, calling him innocent and kind, and, feeling guilty for not taking better care of him in his prime, arranged for him to marry Min Wenlin, the head of the Eastern Depot.

Rumor had it that the Eastern Depot's lord had a terrifying face that would make even children wet themselves. People also said he killed without batting an eye and was cruel and brutal in his methods.

Ye Peihan: ? Shudder.

Better to shatter like jade than live like a tile! You expect me to marry a eunuch with nothing down there who's ugly as a demon? Your grandpa's done serving you!

2. On his wedding day, Ye Peihan slung a sack of gold over his back and escaped through a dog hole in the hostage residence.

He had barely taken a few steps when a cold voice sounded behind him: "My lady, where are you going?"

Ye Peihan turned around in astonishment.

The man wore a red flying-fish robe embroidered with finery, with a narrow, curved Embroidered Spring Saber at his waist. He had a handsome, distinguished face and clear, bright eyes. Narrowing them slightly, he reined in his horse and nodded at Ye Peihan. Behind him stretched ten miles of wedding finery, while the common folk watched and called out their congratulations.

Ye Peihan shrank back, then forced himself to wave and smile.

This man was the very definition of a beast in fine clothes, and rich enough to rival a kingdom!

"I'll marry him!"
