I Took Someone Else’s Place as the Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years, and Went on a Killing Spree

The young lady tried to climb into the Regent’s bed, hoping to become his principal consort in one fell swoop. But the Regent’s deranged princess stripped her naked and tossed her out, then assigned her to Chu Rong, the chief eunuch, as his bedfellow. Rumor had it that the notorious Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years was cruel and twisted, and liked to torment women. The young lady threw a fit, refusing to marry him, and pointed at me as she wailed: “Doesn’t everyone say she looks a bit like me? Let her marry him in my place!” I refused, so the Chancellor’s wife had my mother and younger brother tied up. My brother was beaten until his whole body convulsed, and my mother’s eyes turned red. “Lan’er, he’s your own brother. You can’t just abandon him!” They didn’t know that my marriage to the Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years would mark the beginning of their nightmare.
