Scheming Emperor X Hunting Eunuch

Emperor Pei Yanci of the Great Tao dynasty was gravely ill and dying, taking his last breath filled with regret and unwillingness. His wandering soul transmigrated to another world, possessing the body of a lowly palace servant in the Crown Prince’s mansion of the Great Yu dynasty.

At this time, powerful eunuchs controlled the court, persecuting officials and reaching their hands toward the Eastern Palace, forcing the Crown Prince to submit. Crown Prince Gu Jiuqing was suspected by the Great Yu Emperor, caught between wolves in front and tigers behind, walking on thin ice with his life hanging by a thread.

Pei Yanci was innocently caught up in the struggle between these two tigers. To preserve his life, he analyzed the situation with the Crown Prince and presented the stakes involved. Gu Jiuqing’s face remained cold and composed, his eyes touched by the spring chill from outside the window. Though he agreed verbally, he secretly sent people to harm him.

With nowhere else to turn, Pei Yanci had no choice but to ally with the powerful eunuch, cooperating with the legendary treacherous minister.

At their first meeting, Tang Xizhui had pale, withered skin, dressed in red robes like phoenix flowers entwined around stark white bones. He looked at him with an ambiguous smile. “The Eastern Palace actually has someone more proud and noble than the Crown Prince himself.”

Later, Pei Yanci single-handedly rescued Gu Jiuqing from his helpless confusion, cultivating his imperial bearing, then turned around and abandoned him without hesitation.

Under the moonlight, dark brown glazed eyes filled with private desire and darkness, a trace of ferocity flashing across his cold, solemn face, his voice low and frigid. “Yanci, you still have this lord in your eyes, don’t you?”

In the shadows no one noticed, a pale hand emerged from the darkness, fingertips tracing up along the lean spine with pitying tenderness, the index finger lightly tapping twice on the porcelain-white cheek.

Pei Yanci felt inch by inch his intense, domineering possessiveness, his back stiffening completely.

Cold fingers gripped his shoulders tightly, while from the other side, that devastatingly beautiful face silently drew near, breathing softly.

“You two are chatting so passionately, have you forgotten about someone?”

Pei Yanci thought they were merely cooperating, merely using each other, not knowing that vines stubbornly growing in corrupt darkness, once they entangled brilliant light, will use any means necessary to drag it down into mutual ruin.
