Little Brother, Your Big Sister Will Train You to Become the Eastern Depot's Chief Eunuch

[Hard-core political scheming, no forced romance, fast-paced, and absolutely no padding. The author has no patience: life-and-death partings, an empire on the brink of collapse, all wrapped up in just a few chapters. No dragging things out.] Huang Jinyue’s mother hanged herself because the son she gave birth to was born without male genitals, destined to become a eunuch. To give her younger brother, Huang Jinsong, a chance at survival, Huang Jinyue resolutely gave up her status as the Huang family’s eldest daughter and struggled to survive with her infant brother at the family temple. But their father, Huang Yongchang, was utterly cold-blooded. When Huang Jinyue turned eighteen, he planned to give her as a concubine to a fifty-year-old man. Otherwise, he would drive the siblings out of the family temple and leave them to fend for themselves. Desperate to fight for a chance to live, Huang Jinyue took her eight-year-old brother, Huang Jinsong, to see the chief eunuch in charge of selecting palace maids. Together, the siblings entered the towering palace walls and set their sights on the pinnacle of power.
