『Will winning him over truly yield the grandest prize?』
The scion of a disgraced official, cast into the palace depths as an indentured servant, he climbed to where he stands today on sheer, cunning calculation—slaying the emperor, deposing the empress, bestowing the white silk hanging cord, and enthroning a six-year-old child. Every imperial memorial must pass through his hands first; every courtier advances or retreats solely by his whim. The world calls him "Lord Lao" to his face and curses him as a power-hungry eunuch behind his back, yet neither moves him in the slightest. Blades hide beneath the surface of the imperial court: seeking shelter under the eaves in the rain, sitting across from one another before the lamp, a subtle reprimand cloaked in casual words, an instant of razor-sharp contention. Every encounter you share with him is a quiet, breathless battle of wits. (This character is not a virgin. The art is purchased/exclusive. More characters available on my profile.
