Eunuch
Marrying the Sickly Eunuch
The world says that Cheng Xiu, the Director of the Eastern Depot, is sinister, cruel, treacherous, and ruthless.
The world is right.
I have always been competitive to a fault. When my elder sister from the legal wife fainted, I shoved the Regent Prince aside and carried her back to her chambers myself.
When my elder sister from a concubine fell into the water, I outstripped the Young Marquis to rescue her and bring her to shore.
When the Second Prince was about to win at pitch-pot, I fired two arrows simultaneously into the ears of the pot, snatching first place for myself.
At a palace banquet, Zhao Wangjian-who grew up with me-bet that I wouldn’t dare kick the Neighboring Country Prince in the backside. I laughed; there was nothing in this world I didn’t dare to do. I followed the prince into a small grove, but when I woke up, I was lying beneath Cheng Xiu.
He asked if I wanted to marry him.
Who would have thought? It turns out there actually is something in this world I don’t dare to do.
