A Eunuch Isn't Defective? Your Majesty, I Really Can Father a Child!

Li Tieshuan, a modern-day overworked wage slave, died suddenly and transmigrated into the body of a eunuch who had just entered the palace in the final years of the Ming Dynasty’s Jiajing reign.

The castration operation had failed: he was a fake eunuch, still virile and far more energetic than an ordinary man.

Eunuchs held power, the borderlands were under threat, and factions battled endlessly at court. A rumor spread among the people that whoever possessed an auspicious aura from the east would change the Mandate of Heaven.

New to the palace, he was bullied by an old eunuch and assigned to serve Consort Shen, who had no children.

During a night shift, the consort tested him and discovered he was a man. The two began a secret affair.

The consort became pregnant with his child and claimed it was the emperor’s. Li Tieshuan seized the opportunity to rise in power.

From a lowly eunuch to the chief of the inner palace, he maneuvered between the emperor, the Eastern Depot, and the imperial harem.

He cultivated loyal followers while evading investigations, advancing cautiously until he held power over the entire court.

In the end, he deposed the emperor and took the throne, achieving an imperial reign that proved, “Even the mighty Nine-Thousand-Year-Old falls short of me, a real man.”
