The Demon Queen Is Soft and Alluring, and the Abstinent Eunuch Dotes on Her

Ning Shuyao finds herself with the title of Empress Dowager by the narrowest of margins, but she values her life too much to become the next tragic victim of the inner palace. So she decides to use every trick at her disposal to cling to the leg of the chief eunuch, a man who is devastatingly handsome, sinister and ruthless, unsmiling, and holds life and death in his hands. The chief eunuch, Zhang Qingpei, discovers that his newly chosen puppet empress dowager is afraid of dying, beautiful, delicate, and clingy. He thought his heart had long since grown still, but after day upon day of intimacy, his heart of stone has become soft as silk.
