One month ago, Su Zhenzhen was still in her room studying medicinal herbs. One month later, she had become a nameless NPC little palace maid, kneeling on the ground listening to the instructing matron teach them palace rules and how to serve the Great Zhou's tyrannical emperor.

Su Zhenzhen: ...

-

Because the tyrant disliked seeing people, Su Zhenzhen's workload was actually very light. Every dawn, she just had to finish sweeping the floor before the emperor rose and then could sit idly by.

The winter weather was bitterly cold. As she sat under the eaves after her work, boiling tea over a stove and nibbling on a sweet potato, a slender, pale-faced young eunuch suddenly appeared before her.

Seeing the mottled wounds on his hands, Su Zhenzhen was taken aback.

This palace that devoured people.

She broke the sweet potato in her hand and offered half to him. "Want some?"

-

Lu Hexu went for a stroll after finishing some killings and met a new palace maid.

She had extremely clear eyes, so transparent one could see straight to the bottom.

He reached out and touched her skin, hearing her admiring voice, "This sweet potato is so handsome, this child is so sweet... what a pity he's a eunuch."

Oh. She didn't recognize him.

-

It was said that eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, due to loneliness, would form 'paired meals'—a mock marriage.

Su Zhenzhen lived alone in this small courtyard with no one for company, feeling slightly lonely.

Although the young eunuch was younger than her, he was handsome, obedient, and well-behaved. She asked him if he wanted to be her 'paired meal' partner, promising to treat him well.

The young eunuch's dark, pitch-black eyes fixed on her, watching her for a long time before he slowly nodded.

Su Zhenzhen was overjoyed. She cut out a double happiness character and pasted it on the window, then cooked a table of simple dishes, holding a humble wedding ceremony for just the two of them.

Until one day, she discovered the young eunuch's true identity.

Su Zhenzhen ran away.

-

Lu Hexu had lived for over a decade and met someone who treated him with genuine sincerity for the first time, yet she betrayed him.

He would find her, and then kill her.

Su Zhenzhen looked at the man who had reappeared before her after a five-year interval. The youthful immaturity had faded, replaced by the completely mature and sinister aura of an emperor.

His well-defined fingers opened the sandalwood box in front of him, revealing ten thousand needles inside.

"You told me that those who betray a sincere heart must go to hell and swallow ten thousand needles."

Su Zhenzhen wanted to strangle her past self who had said those words.
