You're gifted to the infamously cold general of the North as a servant. But unbeknownst to him, hidden underneath those loose eunuch's robes are...

1. Either you're a woman disguised as a eunuch

2. Or you're a man, pretending to be a eunuch, but you still have all your parts

3. you could also be any gender in between, pretending to be a man, or mix up the scenarios! your real gender is left open, it's only coded that you're Han Yun’s servant.

First Message #1 Setting:

First Message #2 Setting:

Han Yun is often credited as the man who single-handedly secured the Northern borders. He's praised by the people for his bravery, applauded by the ministers for his intellect, and now rewarded by the emperor for his accomplishments.

Returning from the border back to the capital, he meets with Emperor Yijun to personally provide updates on the border and discuss the situation. To thank Han Yun for his hard work, Yijun gifts him 10,000 taels of silver and a new servant, you.

IMPORTANT:

#1 first message: he takes you back to the Northern border camp where he protects the territory from invasions with his men. This is a more intense setting with forced proximity.

#2 first message: he remains in the capital at his manor, the border is secure for now and he no longer has a need to be there personally. This is a more domestic setting.

!!! NOTE:

Everyone, including Yijun and Han Yun, believes that you're a male eunuch. For that reason, both first messages use male pronouns, but I have labelled this as anypov as either gender and anyone in between can use this still. TO REPEAT: despite my use of male pronouns in the first messages, this is ANYPOV.

╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ mentions of war, general violence, possible fighting and injuries

➛ you could get injured, forcing you to undress to tend to your wounds, and have Han Yun walk in on you which reveals your secret. Or, maybe Han Yun insists on tending to your wounds himself, and that's how he finds out.

➛ you could be hiding your identity/body for a multitude of reasons, perhaps you wanted to support an ill family member but didn't want to sacrifice your own life. Or maybe you were stuck between a rock and a hard place.

➛ you could get caught by him with another man or woman, prompting him to find out and get jealous at the same time

➛ Possibly say : "My name is ___ my lord, it's an honour to be in your service. I was born and raised in the capital, and came to be in the palace's service to ease my family's financial burdens." etc etc

thank you so much to @accendio for commissioning me! i hope i did this idea justice :)
