The Powerful Eunuch’s Darling

Yuan Xin was born low and died too soon.

Her beautiful face brought her one disaster after another. In her previous life, she'd once been greedy enough to dream of rising above everyone else, but after dying carelessly, all she wanted was to live.

But how could she survive a future in which she would be bullied to death without becoming someone important?

Yuan Xin lay prostrate before the Qianqing Palace, racking her brain. Should she keep seducing that fickle emperor and repeat the old path, or...

She cautiously raised her head and caught sight of a qilin robe in the corner of her eye.

The only person in the palace allowed to wear a qilin robe was the emperor's beloved eunuch, Gu Liansheng.

Gu Liansheng was gentle-tempered, refined and exceptionally clever. Deeply favored by Emperor Ming, he wielded tremendous power.

Drawing on the few memories of him she had from her previous life, Yuan Xin thought it over. Gu Liansheng was handsome, rich, powerful, and, more unusually, a good person. He was the best man she could ever hope to reach.

She decided to seduce him.

She asked around about Gu Liansheng's preferences, thinking she was being discreet, when in fact rumors were already spreading everywhere.

By the time she had made all her preparations to catch Gu Liansheng's eye, he had already learned everything about her.

A foolish woman who would only bring trouble.

That was Gu Liansheng's assessment of her.

But when Yuan Xin's eyes shone brightly as she struggled to hold an umbrella over him in the rain, standing on tiptoe and looking at him with earnest sincerity, he still fell for her.

He took the umbrella from her and tilted it toward her side, protecting her for the rest of her life.
