Summary
Chapter 0 The Emperor bestowed me upon a eunuch as his wife. The eunuch had a house, horses, both parents dead, and a fortune in family wealth. I thought marrying him wouldn’t be so bad. At least I wouldn’t have to worry about getting along with my mother-in-law. And if luck was on my side and I outlived the eunuch, wouldn’t all that property become mine alone? So I married him. On my first day in the eunuch’s manor, I learned that the eunuch already had someone he held dear-and that someone was the Empress of the Central Palace. The two were carrying on in secret and plotting a rebellion. Terrified, I packed my things that very night and ran. Halfway through my escape, the eunuch caught me. No one had ever told me that a man, even after becoming a eunuch, could still be this good-looking. And this ridiculously good-looking eunuch, in order to snuff out any thoughts I had of running away, decided we should consummate the marriage first. Should I give in, or shouldn’t I?
