Blurb:
Lu Erfu, the iron-faced censor whose name struck fear throughout the court.
Born into a family steeped in scholarship, he passed the imperial examination at a young age and entered government service. His entire family counted on him to rise to prominence and bring honor to their name.
But a thorny murder case in the palace that no one dared take on brought him into contact with Ning Wuque, and from then on, schemes and plots came one after another.
Ning Wuque, the most trusted eunuch bodyguard at the emperor's side.
He seemed easygoing and irreverent, but was actually a formidable martial artist, brilliant strategist, and deeply impressed by Lu Erfu's character and intelligence.
He recommended Lu Erfu to investigate the palace murder, but couldn't help being drawn to the stern, proper censor and having his heart stirred.
From then on, he willingly stayed by Lu Erfu's side to keep him safe.
One day, after drinking.
The censor's cheeks flushed as he spoke his mind: "If only Eunuch Ning weren't a eunuch. What a pity..."
Eunuch Ning, a bodyguard pretending to be a eunuch, was heartbroken: ... I'm really not a eunuch.
At court:
Civil and military officials were at odds.
The censor tried to mediate, only to be given a hard time.
Ning Wuque stood up for him with a commanding air. "Who dares cause trouble?"
The censor: seemingly sharp-tongued and proper, but actually sincere and proud, the recipient x Lu Erfu
The eunuch: seemingly easygoing and irreverent, but actually shrewd, devoted, and steadfast, the pursuer x Ning Wuque
A few points to note:
1. The recipient has a fiancée early on, but neither of them has feelings for the other! No feelings! No feelings! There are other reasons for their engagement! The recipient and his fiancée are just friends!!
2. The pursuer is a fake eunuch and will reclaim his identity.
3. The couple are both sexually inexperienced. Happy ending, no angst or scum behavior.
