After a Night of Passion with the Powerful Eunuch

[Female General x Young Miracle Doctor]

After returning to the capital with a string of glorious military victories, the female general Li Qiao decided to follow the latest fashion and publicly choose herself a husband.

She accidentally picked the young miracle doctor Situ Nian, who already had someone in his heart and ambitions that reached for the heavens.

He coldly rejected her, his expression indifferent.

But Li Qiao took a real liking to him. She forced the marriage contract into his hands, then turned and left.

It wasn't until later, when she saw him smile at someone else with the warmth of spring, that...

Before putting her armor back on, Li Qiao reclaimed the marriage contract and walked away without looking back.

If not for the palace coup, Li Qiao would never have returned to the capital.

She'd planned to leave as soon as the rebellion was quelled, but then she saw that the once noble and bright young man had become a trapped beast in a gutter.

Amid the upheaval, he was castrated. He could never be with the person he loved, so he began fighting and scheming on her behalf.

Li Qiao stayed, watching coldly from the sidelines.

Until he climbed into her bed for the sake of the woman he loved...

Li Qiao tore off his court robes, a cold smile in her eyes. "Then let's see how far you're willing to go for her."

Situ Nian knew he'd fallen for someone else.

But Xia Qing Shuang had saved his life when they were children, and he'd promised to repay her by giving her his life.

So he could only wrap himself in armor, refusing to show Li Qiao any kindness whenever they met, as though that could convince him not to get close to her.

But she was simply too dazzling.

So dazzling that he wasn't the only one coveting her. There were plenty of gutter rats who wanted her, too.

On Phoenix Terrace, Li Qiao pulled open his clothes, revealing the ambiguous marks she'd left on his body, and challenged him with a taunting look. "What makes you think you can still win my favor?"

Situ Nian helplessly covered his chest, watching in utter despair as an unfamiliar man suddenly took his place at her side.

Then she officially announced her engagement to the young son of the Minister of Rites, in the very place where he had broken off their engagement years ago.

Unable to hold back any longer in front of everyone, Situ Nian charged at her.

Eyes red, he threatened her hysterically: "You've had me. Don't think you can just throw me away!"

Reading guide:

The male lead isn't a scumbag, just a poor guy who was deceived. The female lead is his true white moonlight and lifesaver, which he will learn later.

1v1, happy ending, a little angst for the male lead, but mostly sweet romance.

Strong female lead, gender-bender, reversed roles, male lead becomes a true eunuch later.

No rivalry between women, but there is a falling-out between friends. Please take note if that bothers you.

Later, the male lead humbly pursues the female lead. She's the one scheming all along.

Neither lead is a wholly good person.
