Su Yan, the son of the original sinner, was purified and entered the palace when he was young. He was scoured by eunuchs from the lowest level and compiled into a book of rituals. I thought that by holding this square seal tightly, I could uncover the truth about the unjust case of extermination of my family. But the empress's harem was more lively than the wine cellar: Qing guests competed for favors with manuscripts of poems, bed attendants held jade Ruyi and dropped golden beans, and even the young masters of the household minister's family knelt in the inner hall to have their eyebrows drawn. I helped the empress with nine male favors, and hid seven boxes of secret letters of surrender from courtiers, until that night I uncovered the secret scroll of my father's "collaboration with the enemy" - the ink was not dry yet, but it was covered with the empress's private seal. When I was breaking the seal on a snowy night, I looked at the panicked servants in the palace and laughed: 'This is a shameful eunuch, it's wrong for me! '
