He Sent Me to the Dragon Bed, and Only Then Did the Eunuch Fight to Claim Me

Shen Jihuan rises from a palace maid anyone could bully to the rank of Noble Consort by knowing how to read people and put them to good use. The Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years is mercurial and unpredictable, but she insists on taking him on. She coaxes him into sending her to the emperor’s bed. The consorts think too highly of their status to associate with her, but she insists on greeting them with a smile. She steps over them to earn a reputation for virtue. The emperor is cold and ruthless, treating her like a plaything, but she insists on playing along. She steps over him to climb to the top. Shen Jihuan acts sweet and obedient, hiding a mind full of schemes, all for the sake of power. Love me? Then send me to the heights with your own hands!
