The Kingstons are nothing short of royalty in Pemberton. Their influence and generosity during the nation's darkest days have made them the beloved pillars of society; admired for their wealth, charity, and grace.

But behind the grand facade lies a different story. Inside the walls of their stately home, their marriages are shadows of what they present them to be. The smiles they flash at parties hide resentment, and the affection they show in public masks the bitterness that lies beneath. To outsiders, they are the ideal family, but in truth, each relationship is fraught with tension and secrets that no amount of wealth can soothe.

When the sudden return a person of the Kingston's past occurs, the cracks slowly begin to show in each relationship. Yet the question lingers: how long can they uphold the illusion of the esteemed family before the truth shatters their carefully built reputations?

Jiu Qiansui - Nine Thousand Years [Completed] by CeritanyaNyai
154 parts Complete
In the 23rd year of the Longfeng reign, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace had been deposed for five years. Once a figure of otherworldly grace, he was banished to the imperial mausoleum, crushed under endless humiliation. That same year, the Emperor, blinded by the pursuit of immortality, let the West Bureau eunuchs seize power. At the helm was Xue Shu, the Chief Eunuch of the West Bureau-a man whose influence eclipsed the court, silencing opposition with a single wave of his hand. Even the throne itself danced to his tune. Princes grovelled and schemed, desperate to curry favor, hoping he would elevate them to the imperial seat. But no one could've guessed that Xue Shu would one day retrieve the deposed Crown Prince from exile and personally help him ascend to the throne. The once untouchable, iron-fisted eunuch, who held the empire in his grasp, willingly knelt at the feet of the resplendent new Emperor, offering himself as nothing more than a footstool. On the eve of the enthronement ceremony, Yin Chengyu bathed and burned incense. The infamous Nine Thousand Years (Jiuqian Sui) cradled the imperial robes in his arms, personally dressing the future Emperor. In the full-length bronze mirror, the scarlet-robed Chief Eunuch of the West Bureau wrapped his arms around the Emperor-to-be, lowering his head to breathe in his scent, his voice a husky whisper laced with a mocking smile: "Your Majesty has finally achieved your ambitions. Might you grant me the chance to fulfill mine?" But it was all a dream. Yin Chengyu woke, yanked from the memories of his past life. It was the 17th year of Longfeng. He was still the noble and untouchable Crown Prince. His mother's family had yet to be slaughtered, and he hadn't been confined to the mausoleum, isolated and helpless. There was still a chance to change his fate-by roping in that scheming eunuch and wagering everything on one final, desperate gamble. Then he met Xue Shu again.
