The Battle for the Factory Beauty

Disguised as a Man · Qi Yu · Eastern Depot Commander X Lu Xie · Western Depot Commander The first time they met, Lu Xie knelt at her feet. “Please, Qi Sui Tang, save me. One day, I’ll die in your place.” Qi Yu said, “I won’t.” But looking at his back, she eventually turned around and saved him. The next time they met, Qi Yu looked at him. “You left my Eastern Depot, became king of the Western Depot, and now you don’t recognize your godfather? Lu Xie, you really are an unfilial son.” Lu Xie held a sheathed embroidered spring saber to her neck. “Then how would ‘Godfather’ like me to serve you?” One day, she was disguised as a man and mingling in the Directorate of Ceremonial, when Lu Xie discovered her. He gripped her chin and leaned close. “Does Commander Qi want to live? Beg me.” She had never let anyone control her. She pressed a dagger to Lu Xie’s heart. “Let’s see who dies first.” Lu Xie ignored the blade at his heart and moved closer. She glared at him coldly. “You ungrateful wolf. I raised you for years, and now you turn around and bite your ‘Godfather.’ If I hadn’t risked half my life to save you back then, the Old Ancestor would have played you to death in his room. And this is how you repay me? Lu Xie, aren’t you afraid of retribution for killing your ‘father’?” Lu Xie leaned in close. “I am. That’s why I only want to get close and serve ‘Godfather’ again. Commander Qi, give me a chance. This time, I promise I’ll be good, even better than before, all right?” “I only ask that ‘Godfather’ not abandon me.” This book is directly linked to The Seal-Bearer Below, and Qi Yu and Lu Xie will appear in it. The sister story set in the Directorate of Ceremonial, The Great Eunuch Who Assists the State, takes place in the next dynasty. (Both the male and female leads are “eunuchs.” The male lead gets together with someone like himself and doesn’t feel inferior.) Reader’s Guide: 1. [The Male Lead Is a Real Eunuch] They grow from a powerful heroine and weaker hero into two equally powerful leads. The male lead grows from an obedient puppy into a wicked, charming wolf. 2. This is a 1v1 romance with two devoted leads, and it’s sweet. 3. The heroine disguises herself as a man and works as a “eunuch” in the Directorate of Ceremonial. The male lead is the eunuch son she raised herself. 4. The setting is mostly modeled on the Ming dynasty, with some original elements. It’s a fictional world. The heroine lives in a harsh environment, and many of her actions are far from kind. She’s a black lotus who is already dark from the start. If you want a pure, innocent heroine, please close this book. [This story centers on the heroine. The main plot is about her revenge, while the romance is a side plot, though its share is hard to say. The extras contain more romance.] Theme: Evil will never triumph over good.
