[BL-oriented, the male lead is genuinely castrated] [Rough blurb, to be refined later]
[Outwardly carefree and uninhibited, but privately composed, reserved, and strategic heroine X patient and restrained male lead who lies low and stops at nothing to achieve his goals]
Before the age of five, Li Chengyi was Emperor Kangcheng's only child. The founding emperor personally bestowed upon her the title Princess Yuanhua, and she was showered with unparalleled affection.
At eight, the young emperor ascended the throne. The Empress Dowager of the West seized control of the court, while the faction of Li Chengyi's mother, the Empress Dowager of the East, fell into decline. People said it was a pity the princess was a girl.
At fifteen, the border was invaded, and the court had no generals to call upon. Li Chengyi volunteered to lead the army into battle. They said women had no business commanding troops.
At twenty, after five years guarding the border, she returned to court. Eunuchs held sway, the emperor and his mother fought for power, and the court was awash with bloodshed. No one suspected a princess; they only said it was time for the Eldest Princess to marry.
At twenty-two, the Eldest Princess caught them completely off guard with her rebellion.
The court officials were stunned, and were willing to join forces with Qi Xun, the cold-blooded eunuch they had regarded as a thorn in their side.
Qi Xun knelt and offered up the imperial seal with both hands. His gaze was unwavering and fervent. "We respectfully invite Your Majesty to ascend the throne."
