In the year of the great disaster, the maid was only worth three corns, but Old Man Jiang was able to sell his three daughters for a sky-high price.
The eldest daughter was sent to the palace to be made into a meat screen. She stood naked in the wind in the cold winter months and fell into a well before she was three months old.
The second daughter was sold to a gangster and died on the street within half a year without even a single piece of clothing left behind.
It was the turn of the third daughter Jiang Li. Old man Jiang rubbed his hands and grinned his yellow teeth: "This girl is the most beautiful and the most expensive - the old eunuch Liu Eunuch loves little girls!"
The night he squatted on the kang and counted the coins.
Jiang Li quietly knocked on Eunuch Liu's door.
"Ancestor, I sold my father to you for no money. I just want him to be your filial son and inherit the mantle."
The old eunuch squinted his eyes and looked at the thin but clear-eyed girl in front of him, and suddenly smiled:
"Sure. Let your father purify himself and enter the palace tomorrow."
The next day, while Old Man Jiang was still counting money in his dream, he was dragged out of the door by a few rough eunuchs.
He screamed and struggled, but he only saw Jiang Li standing quietly under the withered jujube tree, like a small animal, jumped over the courtyard wall and ran away.

Later, the world collapsed and blood flowed inside and outside the palace walls.
No one expected that the little girl who was sold cheaply by her father would break the rules of cannibalism step by step and walk through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Many years later, a new dynasty was established and the empress came to the throne.
Under the dragon chair, the powerful eunuch Liu Eunuch and his godson Jiang Shunzhong prostrated respectfully.
Behind the bead curtain, the empress chuckled:
"Liu Banban, Jiang Banban, long time no see."
Jiang Shunzhong looked up,
Liver and gallbladder split.
This... Isn't this Jiang Li who was caught and killed by Eunuch Liu and threw herself into the river?
——The world was shocked to realize that she had been playing chess from the moment she sold her father.
