Power Over All: The Eunuch's Hidden Schemes

Shen Qingci, a modern business executive, wakes up as the illegitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's household, only to be betrothed by the Empress Dowager to the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old Eunuch, a man said to have slaughtered countless people.

Rumor has it that no wife or concubine in his household survives more than three months. She wants to run, but soon discovers she's merely a pawn abandoned in someone else's game.

Even stranger, she awakens the ability to read minds.

Her stepmother's honeyed words hiding a knife, her father's murderous intentions, the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old's inscrutable thoughts… She hears them all.

As wave after wave of assassins comes for her, she plans her every move and turns the entire game upside down.

The Nine-Thousand-Year-Old grips her chin. “Are you human or a demon?”

She smiles back. “You tell me.”

Later, this feared killer kneels before her, eyes red, and says, “My life has belonged to you for a long time.”
