Serious Synopsis:
Mu Zhao's family was murdered in her previous life, and her entire household was executed.
She used herself as a bargaining chip to persuade the powerful Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years to help her kill the emperor and wreak havoc in the imperial court.
She died after exhausting herself, only to return to the time before any of it had happened.
She decisively dumped the scumbag Second Prince and joined forces with the Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years ahead of time to keep their families safe.
Not-So-Serious Synopsis:
The Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years writes in The Tale of Zhaozhao:
Zhaozhao is pure and kind by nature.
The officials of the Six Ministries whom Mu Zhao has tormented: "?"
Zhaozhao is gentle and dignified.
Her enemies, beaten into sorry wrecks: "?"
Zhaozhao is the treasure I prayed for in both my lives, my only god and my faith. She is my life.
Everyone: Well, that part is true. The Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years is completely obsessed with Mu Zhao.
Later, Mu Zhao, who has married the Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years, starts showing more and more each day that she's pregnant.
The people: "!!!"
It's over! Mu Zhao has cuckolded the Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years, and he can't bear to punish her, so he must be planning to come after us instead.
Sure enough, the Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years becomes even more unpredictable.
Later, a young eunuch sees the Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years gently tapping on the door of Mu Zhao's bedroom.
"Zhaozhao, please, for the child's sake. I'm the father, after all."
Everyone: "?"
If you weren't cuckolded, why are you still unhappy?
Wait! So you're a fake eunuch?
