The Eunuch Keeps His Beloved Hidden

[A double-standard, ruthless-to-others, soft-hearted-toward-the-heroine wicked eunuch x innocent, kind, clinging flower]

Everyone knows that Xie Yunzhou, the Director of the Eastern Depot, is treacherous and sinister, with absolute power in his hands.

No matter how much the ministers curse him in their hearts, to his face they respectfully call him “His Excellency, the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old.”

Everyone says that someone as cruel and heartless as him must have no weakness at all.

Until the day of the palace coup, when he picked up a dazed little palace maid.

The rarely seen Xie Yunzhou suddenly changed his ways:

Some saw Xie Yunzhou, who had always hated sweets, going to a famous pastry shop to buy treats;

Others saw the violent Xie Yunzhou patiently learning to make kites from an old master;

…

The old shopkeeper sold his goods with a pounding heart, while the old master taught kite-making with his head on the line...

Before long, the whole capital was trembling with fear, afraid of drawing Xie Yunzhou’s attention.

Later, the increasingly beautiful little palace maid was carried off to his den, where he cherished her in the palm of his hand for the rest of her life.
