The Eunuch's Favor

Jiang Lian, the ruthless and cunning Governor of the Eastern Depot, held power over the entire court. Everyone avoided him like the plague, except Du Ruoning, the foolish young lady of the Duke of Dingguo’s household, who pestered him every day. At his wit’s end, Jiang Lian threatened to kill her. Unexpectedly, she tossed the embroidered ball for her marriage contest right into his arms. Everyone thought the foolish young lady was doomed for offending the Governor, but instead, he doted on her and protected her, raising her all the way to the pinnacle of power. Upon that supreme throne, he knelt at her feet, his eyes filled with obsessive love. “The world is yours. You are mine.”
