A Fake Eunuch from the Start, I Forge the Western Depot and Seize Power Over the Palace!

After transmigrating to the Great Xia, a matriarchal realm, Li Chengfan is sentenced to death from the start, and his entire family is executed.

On the night before his execution, Empress Xia Ningxiang summons him to her bedchamber. It turns out that an unspeakable secret of the imperial family requires him to father an heir.

After one night of passion, Li Chengfan not only survives, but is also given the false identity of a eunuch and assigned to serve the empress at close quarters.

When the Four Sages of the Jin Kingdom arrive to provoke them, not a single court official dares to fight.

Li Chengfan immediately stakes his life on a military pledge: if he loses, he'll be executed by a thousand cuts; if he wins, the Duke Who Guards the Nation must kneel and confess his guilt!

He picks up his brush and writes, "Since ancient times, autumn has brought sorrow and desolation; I say autumn surpasses spring." Zhao Yuanfeng, leader of the Four Sages, spits blood and faints on the spot.

Then he offers the four famous lines of Hengqu: "Establish the mind for Heaven and Earth; establish the life for the people." The civil officials throughout the hall fall to their knees, crying that a literary star has descended from Heaven.

But Li Chengfan wants more than a crushing victory through culture.

Ouyang Hua, Duke Who Guards the Nation, wields power over the whole court and framed the Li family. Li Chengfan intends to grind his enemies into the dirt in the shortest time possible.

The empress gave him an identity, and now he dares to establish the Western Depot and build a force from nothing that answers only to him!

Secret agents, death soldiers, intelligence networks, and court schemes: the false eunuch's blade is sharper than any real power broker's.
