[From the Start, Thrown Into the Castration Chamber? I Fool the Old Eunuch Instead!]
Chu Xiao transmigrates as a fake eunuch and saves his life with a flash of quick thinking at the moment of death! He had planned to lie low and survive, but his handsome looks and sharp wit get him selected to serve in the Empress Dowager’s palace.
The Empress Dowager is imposing and inscrutable, and when she feels unwell, only his unique technique can soothe her. The Empress is confined to the Cold Palace, yet asks him to teach her secret techniques for strengthening the body. The Noble Consort is full of hidden schemes, and her sachet conceals a mystery...
Wei Zhong is ruthless: “If this boy isn’t eliminated, he’ll become a grave threat!” The Chancellor is cunning and calculating: “This boy is sly. He might make a useful pawn!”
Chu Xiao carefully maneuvers through the palace’s undercurrents, navigating between rival forces. Though he is a fake eunuch, he sees what’s coming and turns the tides to his advantage.
He executes corrupt ministers, clears the court of traitors, destroys the eunuch faction, and pacifies the regional warlords... He steps out from behind the scenes and into the spotlight, becoming the one who moves the pieces instead of a pawn!
See how he writes a legend atop the peak of power!
A very good novel, worth reading!
Very well written
