After nine thousand years of mourning, he saved his life and changed his name [Cao Chengyin]
In order to take revenge and seize power, he purified himself and entered the palace. With the support of his adoptive father, an old eunuch who was highly skilled in martial arts, he climbed up to a high position by stepping on bones and often wore a golden mask when leaving the palace. By chance, he rescued Ye Shuying, who was sold into Yihong Mansion by his parents, and later helped him fight off the robbers in the alley. Ye Shuying fell in love with him at first sight, and in order to get close to him, she managed to enter the palace as a palace maid/guard.
At the palace banquet under the crabapple tree, Ye Shuying recognized his eyes and confessed his love, but Cao Chengyin took out his golden mask, rubbed it, and told him coldly: "We are a eunuch, and we can't give you happiness."
