About This Novel
When I was twelve years old, I was sold into a deep palace for a tael of silver. I can't speak, and no one can understand my sign language. I am a little mute and it is common for me to be bullied. Later, a young man who was also bullied smashed an eunuch to death in front of me. "Little mute, have you learned it?" I shook my head. After that, he killed several eunuchs and maids who bullied me on my behalf. But one midwinter, he was dragged away by the emperor's men and never came back. So, I climbed onto the dragon bed and killed the emperor. Before being cut into pieces by five horses, I saw him wearing a dragon robe. Only then did I realize that he spent seven or eight years just to make me the best knife for him.
