Bottom (Shen Chixi, a eunuch): seemingly aloof, stoic, and perceptive, with little desire to live. No clean romance, irregular updates, average writing, and the author’s brain isn’t much bigger. Suggestions welcome. A fictional dynasty, mostly everyday life, with 40% angst and a bad ending. An assassin is ordered to kill a powerful eunuch, only to reunite with someone from his past.
