A Stream of Spring (Eunuch)

[Flirtatious, fussy, silly beauty × Sharp-tongued, gloomy, crawling-around-on-the-ground chief eunuch]

Also known as: A Diary of Eunuch Pei's Change of Heart; Has Eunuch Pei Given In Yet Today?

Pianpian was once a shouji, a girl trained for prostitution in the Jiangnan region. Born with an alluring beauty, she was bought by a wealthy family as a child and raised to serve as a courtesan.

For the first dozen years of her life, she believed the best fate a girl of low status could hope for was to catch the eye of a young master, become his personal maid, and eventually bear him children on behalf of his principal wife.

Until the year of the Yan Shui Festival, when her masters sent her to seduce a young man surnamed Pei who had come from Bianjing.

She never expected him to be a gentleman.

No matter how hard Pianpian tried to entice him, he remained unmoved.

Pianpian was taken with his looks.

After asking around, she learned he was past twenty and had neither wife nor concubine. After thinking it over, she decided to entrust herself to him. She knew she was lowborn and wanted nothing more than a home.

That night, Pianpian knocked on the door of his room at the inn. She explained why she had come, hoping to persuade the young man to take her as his concubine.

Instead, he gave a scornful laugh and asked, "A concubine? Miss, you want to attach yourself to Pei, but did you not find out that Pei is a rootless eunuch?"

At that moment, Pianpian felt as if five thunders had struck her at once.

So he had been unmoved because he lacked the necessary equipment.

He had no wife or concubine because he was a eunuch!

It took her quite some time to persuade herself that being with a eunuch was fine. At least she wouldn't have to fight to the death with other women over children. She followed him to Chang'an without hesitation, but as the days passed, he still showed no sign of giving her a title.

Pianpian imitated the scenes she'd read in romance stories, crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang herself, demanding an explanation. Instead, a pair of warm hands cupped her face. He told her that people weren't born to live according to anyone else's expectations, but should live for themselves.

She must be the moon in his heart, the springtime blooming by his temples and scattering its colors there.

Reading Guide

- A real eunuch, 1v1, both leads are pure.

- The heroine is a silly beauty. She's the embodiment of how one impulsive flash of inspiration can beat all the scheming of the clever, but she's proactive and takes charge.

- The heroine initially wants to be a concubine because she has been conditioned to accept that as her fate. Under the hero's influence, her thinking gradually changes. The story has plenty of my own headcanon; plot isn't my strong suit, so it's all here to serve the romance~
