Every courtier knows: cross the Emperor and you die; cross the bed-warden Auntie Lu and you die tired. He gave her the imperial surname — and has been secretly in love with her since the cold palace.

At twenty, palace orphan Lu Yinzhu is the youngest female eunuch-commander in history, sole keeper of the boy emperor's sleep since they starved together in the cold palace. Now he sits the throne, rages unchained, and only calms when her hand reaches his. The court assumes a favorite consort; the truth is slower — a boy who practiced crowning a queen in his head for ten years. Completed: age-gap, hidden-devotion ancient romance, dual-virgin, mild possessive emperor.
