Aisin Gioro Yintu, the twelfth son of Emperor Shengzu Kangxi, seriously suspected he'd slept himself silly, or else that he'd read too little Buddhist scripture the night before and let evil spirits possess him. If not, why would every man around him, eunuchs included, have a thick head of hair?
Yintu: This is even more wrong. Why do I think they shouldn't have any hair?
He gradually realized that he wasn't the one possessed by evil spirits. The whole world was.
His aunt had once said that those born into the imperial family would be better off living an ordinary, unremarkable life than standing out from the crowd.
Yintu thought she was absolutely right. He stuck to his philosophy of taking life as it came, keeping as low a profile as possible apart from a few harmless hobbies. But why were the extraordinary, almost otherworldly father and brothers his aunt had talked about turning more and more into a bunch of goofballs...
Yintu: I was terrified. I kept thinking they'd gone out of character, but I had no idea what their original personalities and character settings were supposed to be.
#Have I been possessed by evil spirits or not?#
#Every day I want to ask Auntie to summon a shaman to the Forbidden City to drive out the evil spirits.#
Kangxi and the princes: You're obviously the one acting strange! We hereby promise not to be the first to use the Twelfth Prince, a walking, indiscriminate heart-stabbing weapon!
The Dream of the Red Chamber timeline: Jia Daishan has just gotten married.
This story mixes Qing dynasty history with the setting of The Dream of the Red Chamber. Anything that doesn't match the historical record is my own alternate-universe invention, though I'll try to stay historically accurate.
The protagonist won't marry. His goal is the stars and the sea! Hahahaha
Out-of-character warning! If that's not your thing, don't read. If you drop the story, there's no need to tell me. Thanks for understanding.
Theme: You weren't like this when you had no hair
Wow, I was just about to update and found out that the comment was from a year ago. I'm so disappointed.
"Don't you want to be valued by Khan Amma?" "No." Hahahahahahaha
Hey, where did my comment go?
"Don't you want to be valued by Khan Ama?" "No." Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha laughed
Aunt Sumala's seniority has indeed confused me for a long time. I once suspected that there was something wrong with the encyclopedia...
