Completed(Please give a little star if you like it~) Energetic, cowardly cross-dressing eunuch x Scheming, paranoid, blackened hostage prince (Female lead is slightly appearance-controlled).
[Diligently Exposing Her Own Covers] Su Manyan transmigrated to become a young eunuch in the cold palace. To obtain a chance at rebirth, she bound a system that required her to reduce the blackened value of Xiao Lin, a hostage prince from an enemy nation, through "Orange Light Game-style choices."
According to the original world's plot, Xiao Lin was betrayed by his relatives, severely injured, and humiliated by the Southern Kingdom's monarch and courtiers after becoming a hostage. Xiao Lin endured hardships and, after recovering, assassinated his brothers and father, annihilated the Southern Kingdom, and eventually unified the world.
Su Manyan was one of the unfortunate ones in this tale. Not only was she disguised as a man, but she was also a spy planted by the Crown Prince, a dual identity that made the danger factor sky-high.
To protect herself, she feigned obedience to the Crown Prince on one hand, and on the other, she used everything she had learned to heal Xiao Lin both physically and mentally.
The Crown Prince ordered her to poison him. Su Manyan bowed and scraped, then poured two large spoonfuls of honey into that bowl of medicine.
The Crown Prince sent her to steal secret letters. Su Manyan copied the incomplete scrolls overnight, highlighted key points, and secretly tucked them under Xiao Lin's pillow.
Su Manyan diligently played her role as a eunuch, but as Xiao Lin's blackened value decreased, the way he looked at her grew deeper and deeper.
——
Xiao Lin had long noticed the oddities of this little eunuch: she was not only disguised as a woman but also a spy for the Crown Prince. Yet, this little eunuch repeatedly secretly "passed him notes."
From their first meeting, Xiao Lin felt an inexplicable familiarity and closeness with her. This kindness made him believe that the world wasn't just filled with hatred.
During an accident, Xiao Lin reawakened his past life's memories: they were once loving husband and wife, who were framed by villains and both died. He observed Su Manyan's expression and surmised that she had no memory of her past life, so he deliberately teased her.
"Ayan, your slender figure is more beautiful than those strapping men." Su Manyan nervously explained, "I was malnourished as a child."
"Ayan, last night I saw you chatting with an unfamiliar man." Su Manyan lied, "That's my elder brother, he specially came to see me." Xiao Lin couldn't help but secretly snicker, shaking his shoulders.
Later, Su Manyan recovered her memories and simply gave up on pretending, openly helping Xiao Lin get his revenge. "When will my wife put on women's clothes!"
"Change what? I'll expose my identity after getting revenge!"
(Note: The female lead was not a eunuch in her previous life. She was reborn as a modern person in this life, then transmigrated to become a eunuch, inhabiting the original body, which is a woman disguised as a man.)
