[Question]How to shut down a buffer?

The topology of the buffer is like a basic inverter. A large capacitor is used to isolate DC in the input signal. Then the signal can be input in the inverter. In addition, a large resistor is employed to connect the input and output of the inverter. When en=0, it works normally; when en=1, it is disabled to save the power. The input signal is always VDD in disable mode. As shown in the attachment.
Now I find in diable mode, the signal after the cap is still VDD/2, so the power consumption of the buffer still has a considerable value. I tried to add more disable MOS in the possible positions, but it didn't work.
So how do I disable it to save the power consumption in disable mode? How do I place my diable transistors?
Thanks a lot.

You have got to be joking, right?
No no, I am serious. Maybe my discription was not very clear, but this problem bothered me for a whole day. My final solution is to add a PMOS switch in parallel with the cap and a switch in series with the resistor. What u think?
You should cut off the current of it.
I shut down it use a switch to cut off the current from VDD. For examp a PMOS with w/l=100/0.18
and the NMOS you used can't do that.
