At just twenty, Wei Xingying, the second daughter of the Wei family, became the most powerful woman in the inner palace: the Empress Dowager.
She knew full well that she didn't deserve the title. She was merely a puppet installed by noble families fighting for power.
The crown prince, Chen Jinzong, had a cold expression. He spoke with jealous sarcasm, like a man who had caught his wife cheating.
"Empress Dowager, didn't you promise to wait for me in the palace tonight so we could dine together? Have you gone to see that little fox again?"
Wei Xingying froze, but he had still found out. "Que'er, he's the son of a disgraced official now. For the sake of your old friendship as classmates, don't make things difficult for him."
He swept his gaze over the poor little Empress Dowager's deathly pale face. His distinct knuckles traced her slender, pale neck, seeming both a threat and a warning.
.
The jade-like young man she loved most, Cheng Huaizhi, entered the palace as a eunuch three years ago.
After suffering castration, he lost some of his former dignity.
Three years later, he rose to become the powerful director of the Eastern Depot, a man who held sway over the entire court.
He came to her palace, firmly holding her little foot, his gaze brazen.
"Your Highness, it is only right that this servant attend to you. This is just washing your feet. If we become more intimate in the future, will Your Highness be able to bear it?"

A lazy Empress Dowager, cold at heart but warm on the surface, x a ruthless eunuch who hides his love and suffers in silence
Possible triggers:
Rekindled love, stealing a minister's wife, and an old-fashioned melodramatic love triangle with two men fighting over one woman
Fictional history, with little attention to historical accuracy.
The heroine is slow to warm up at first, but rises to power later.
Theme: Being alive means there is hope.
At present, it seems that Cheng Ying is great. The real eunuch can weaken some of the flavor, and he is not too crooked. He knows how to guard the good man's memorial, which makes him get rid of the dirty and daddy prince. The most important female protagonist has a good impression of him. I am relieved to see that he is the male protagonist.
Double Yin is smart, quick-witted and jealous. But Wei Xingying was lucky to have such a person beside her to protect her.
Not bad, not bad, I am getting more and more fascinated. The plot is vivid and meticulous
It's quite smooth to read.
Cheng Huaizhi: The legitimate palace
Xingying and Cheng Huai's private meeting was eventually discovered by the prince. What should they do? Anxious to know their fate... How the author writes, my heart is in my throat
I bumped into Qi Chun & Li Yu, a strong woman and a "weak" man hahahahahaha
Prince (before knowing the truth): Hehe
Eager to save her father, Xingying reluctantly agreed to the prince's request. [Handshake] The prince is drunk and looking for Xingying. At the critical moment, Wei Wan arrives and mixes the fake with the real one... Wow, I'm really worried about being cheated on, but I hope not, haha
Wang Deli: Heehee → No heehee
