In the third year of Longqing's reign, Wei Jie, the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department and the governor of Dongchang, was revered as "Nine Thousand Years Old". He controlled Dongchang, the secret service agency, with power in the government and the opposition, and his party members were all over the court.
The emperor was afraid of his power and married Pei Xinyi, the daughter of the Minister of Hubu, to him.
…
An imperial edict of marriage binds two people who should not have crossed paths together.
When they first met, Wei Jie pinched the girl's chin: "Little girl, do you know what it means to marry a eunuch? "
Pei Xinyi stared at him and asked blankly: "It means... No need to have children? "
…
Pei Xinyi is dull by nature and has a cowardly character.
Who would have thought that once forced into marriage, his temperament would change drastically.
Wei Jie went from indifference to curiosity, from exploration to obsession, and his possessiveness quietly grew.
He wanted to keep this bird that had mistakenly been trapped in a cage by his side forever.
Concept: The bird is imprisoned in a golden cage, and the bird builds a nest with its own branch. We cross the sea of blood together, and only then can we see the depth of spring on the other side.
