New story next door: If I Become the Azure Emperor One Day
You can read it here, but the complete version is on PO18 / Aifadian.
Once caught in the imperial net, how can I help but grieve after being trapped in a cage for so long? I can only follow the flowers and willows in the forbidden garden, never again keeping company with millet and grain in the countryside., A poem by Wang Ao, quoted in Zhuozhongzhi
In his previous life, Xiao Shen, the Director of the Eastern Depot, met a gruesome end. As soon as the new emperor took the throne, he ordered Xiao Shen to be executed by lingchi. Though he held a high position, Xiao Shen was ultimately a prisoner of his broken body and a disposable pawn of imperial power. Ordinary happiness was beyond his reach.
After being reborn, all he wanted was to avoid meeting the same end. He no longer dared to dream of love. But unexpectedly, his wife Song Qiudi, who had been cold to him in their previous life, changed completely in this one. She cared for him in every way and would flirt with him from time to time, leaving him unable to resist. After testing each other several times, they finally let go of their misgivings, escaped their cage, and spent a lifetime together.
Both leads are reborn.
A true eunuch and a female official in charge of palace records.
The official system and other details draw on the Ming dynasty. Some characters and events are based on historical sources, but the story is set in a fictional world overall.
P.S. The male lead is a powerful chief eunuch, but he isn't powerful enough to control everything. He's not an overbearing Lord Eunuch, nor is he a corrupt court eunuch. He's just an ordinary person with ordinary morals and feelings. After being reborn, he suffers from PTSD related to his lingchi execution.
Finally, the ending is guaranteed to be happy.
Theme: Criticize feudal dross and promote socialism
? The deep palace is oppressive and strict, the officialdom is busy, and eunuchs are born to depend on the imperial power. However, people are born to long for freedom. When the eunuch Bingbi who supervises the East Factory has a childlike heart, When the female official in the imperial court, who taught the harem women that they should be dignified and polite, yearned for a bold and unrestrained woman like Yu Xuanji, her ideas were deviant. When identity and personality conflict, and responsibility imprisons the free and unrestrained heart, leading to tragedy in the past life, where should the two go after they are reborn? Looking at the beginning, I thought it would be a well-written story about a revengeful sweet pet who wields power and then retreats violently. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet two such sincere and untamed souls. This book, even for me who has read a lot of eunuch literature in one breath, is still refreshing. In her previous life, Qiudi, a female official, was given by the emperor to marry Xiao Shen, the eunuch who was the third-in-command of the ceremonial department and the admiral of the East Factory. Because of her preconceived prejudice against eunuchs, the two had a deep estrangement from the beginning. Although they had been together for five years, they gradually realized that the other was not a villain, but they were irreconcilable. In the end, they were far apart, and Xiao Shen died tragically in the new dynasty. Returning to the wedding night, the two most familiar strangers had the opportunity to start over. She discovered that he used uncertainty, sensitivity and suspicion to cover up his inner inferiority, innocence and clumsiness. He also noticed that she often made shocking remarks, and was open-minded and stubborn and rebellious in her heart. Enemies from previous lives cherished each other, while couples who looked cold and hated each other fell in love childishly. The emotional line in this article is a collection of classic elements such as "Marriage first, love later, love over time, meeting opponents in chess, and happy enemies". I was so impressed when I saw Eunuch Xiao's ptsd where his marriage and career were both frustrated in his previous life. When I saw Qiudi teasing the beautiful Eunuch Xiao, Xiao Shen's face was full of shame, and he looked awkward and happy. It really made me laugh to death! But this does not mean that the male protagonist does not have the temperament of a eunuch. He has the temperament of a dead eunuch, sensitive, awkward, inferior, suspicious, and uncertain. I never get tired of this ridiculous scene where he falls in love with the heroine and then firmly believes that the heroine cannot like him. This author writes eunuchs vividly and finds new angles. He is simply a god... The emotional line of this article is warm and healing, the characters are very spiritual, and it is enjoyable to read. However, the political struggle in the court pales in comparison, is rough and simple, and lacks details. However, looking at the full text, the court is not the focus. Being frustrated in the court and being incompatible with it is the focus. Of course, this may also be related to the fact that the male protagonist is not good at playing tricks. He knows how to avoid the pitfalls he has stepped on with the rebirth script, but he is easily helpless when encountering new crises and despicable methods. He himself is straight-tempered, and it is impossible to write from his perspective. This also brings this article to an unexpected but reasonable ending: a great eunuch who did not want to form a clique, but was upright and loyal, eventually became a victim of the struggle between the two parties. Unfortunately, he lost his official position, but fortunately he did not lose his life. Qiudi was determined to stop, and advised him to leave. If there is no place for eunuchs in the world, then go to sea and go to places beyond the control of the imperial power. It turns out that the meaning of rebirth is not only to allow the protagonists to seek revenge and promotion, but also to give them the opportunity to choose a new path after seeing the truth of life - the deep palace is not suitable for Qiudi and Xiao Shen at all. After spending so long in a cage, why not ride the wind and waves and return to nature? The powerful eunuch and the female official left behind the affairs of the palace that they had managed for two lifetimes, and just like that, they ran away freely! He does not strive for fame and fortune, but pursues obedience to his heart; even if he is attached to the palace and imperial power, he still has human desires. The master of the previous generation used sin to escape, and Xiao Shen of this generation has retired to seclusion. Freedom, self-esteem and love are the simplest instincts of the human heart. The author who can write such an ending is really a wonderful person!
