The Jester

The crystal cup gleams, the amber wine glows, and the wine in the little cask drips a ruby red. A jade hairpin snaps at the touch of a finger, while silk brocade tears with a sound like ripping cloth. * A damp, venomous eunuch x a princess consumed by greed, resentment, anger, and delusion x a vicious, Asura-like second male lead. * She doesn't want to purge the court around the emperor. She wants to pull him right off his throne. - A female lead's growth + an ensemble of women + a madcap romance with Wei-Jin-era elegance [Reading Tips] 1. The original title was My Husband Has Always Been Famous for His Beauty. It was too long and inconvenient to format, so I shortened it after weighing everything up. The first two lines of the blurb come from Li He's poem Bring in the Wine. The setting is a hodgepodge inspired by the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties. It draws on the political landscape and historical events of Northern Qi, but the plot is basically fictional and heavily altered. Historical figures are treated with respect, so please don't connect them to real history! 2. Content warning: The female lead isn't a virgin, while the male lead's dick is brand-new and stored in a clay pot (...). The hook is brand-new too, so readers can rest assured. Given the female lead's lofty status, there are bound to be people throwing themselves at her. If you can't accept that, run now. 3. The female lead is a giant baby at first and only grows up after getting a harsh beating from society. So you'll probably hate her early on. Premise: Keep your heart true and save the world
