I Became a Fake Eunuch After the Emperor Exterminated My Clan

share time: 2026-01-08 00:37:29

Lin Zhao, a young general with outstanding military achievements, saw his entire family executed by the emperor on false charges of treason. He escaped with serious injuries and, determined to uncover the truth, disfigured himself and infiltrated the palace as a mute fake eunuch. One night, he stumbled upon Princess Li Yao being drugged by the queen's men and risked his life to save her, only to collapse from old wounds. When he woke up, Li Yao was sitting by his bed, gently touching his scar: "I know you're not a real eunuch, and I've investigated the Lin family's injustice—I'll help you." From then on, they became "underground partners" in the palace: Lin Zhao stole secret letters from the imperial study using his eunuch identity, while Li Yao covered for him with her princess status; Lin Zhao helped Li Yao avoid the queen's poisoned wine, and Li Yao secretly gave him her ointment to treat his wounds. But when they finally found evidence that the mastermind behind the Lin family's massacre was the emperor's own brother—Li Yao's uncle—who had forged letters to frame them, the uncle suddenly rebelled, trying to kill the emperor and frame Lin Zhao. Lin Zhao held the evidence to confront the emperor, but Li Yao cried and hugged him: "Uncle has my mother's suicide note—he said if I help him, he'll tell you another secret about the Lin family..." Caught between blood revenge and his lover's plea, what choice will Lin Zhao make? And what is Li Yao hiding—will the dagger in her sleeve be used to stab her uncle, or to shield Lin Zhao from a fatal blow?
