The Eunuch in Charge of the Bedchamber Is a Miser

Quanfu is a young eunuch in the servants' quarters. Every day, he does the dirtiest, hardest work, hoping only that the silver he sends home will support his mother and younger siblings, and that he can buy a small house of his own in the countryside.

Then one day, he is chosen to enter the emperor's inner palace and becomes the emperor's personal attendant.

To earn more money, Quanfu works even harder, staying by the emperor's bed day and night. When the emperor is thirsty, he brings water. When the emperor is hungry, he brings pastries. When the emperor needs to pee, he brings a chamber pot. When the emperor is in the mood, he offers himself. Wait, no, that's not right! How did he end up offering himself!

One day, Mu Ling gets drunk and notices that the little eunuch who serves him every day is remarkably handsome. Before he can stop himself, he takes him to bed.

The little eunuch is so soft and sweet that once Mu Ling gets his hands on him, he can't bear to let go.

The next day, Mu Ling is woken by sobbing. He tries to soothe the boy gently for ages, but to no avail. A fine jade pendant, however, soon gets him to settle down.

The little eunuch, usually so well-behaved, turns out to be a little money-grubber. Mu Ling uses this as an excuse to coax him back into bed.

But the boy is in poor health. He gets fevers and falls ill at the drop of a hat. When his fever gets bad, he starts talking nonsense, asking for food and drink.

Before long, the roles are reversed: when Fu Bao is thirsty, the emperor brings him water; when Fu Bao is hungry, the emperor feeds him pastries. Fu Bao... Wait, no, that's not right! I'm the emperor. How can I be waiting on a little eunuch!

Coming soon 1: "Bring a Little Bunny Prince Home to Have His Babies"

Liu Fuyu, the second prince of Nanliu, is a bona fide sickly beauty who gets winded after walking just a few steps.

His illness is strange. Not only does he have a fluffy rabbit tail, but on the night of every full moon, his whole body grows hot and he becomes desperately needy.

War with an enemy country is about to break out, and Liu Fuyu is sent as an envoy to negotiate. His strange illness flares up, and without any medicine on hand, he grabs hold of a... woodcutter by the side of the road?

The haughty, noble little prince has never been treated like this before. No matter how handsome the man is, once he's done with him, he has to kill him to keep him quiet.

The woodcutter catches a blade barehanded. The burly man blushes shyly, dabs his eyes with a handkerchief, and says, "I'm an honest man from a respectable family. You have to take responsibility."

Liu Fuyu is unwilling and grumbles angrily, but for the sake of his strange illness, he puts up with it.

*

When the kingdoms of Beiming and Nanliu arrange a marriage alliance, Liu Fuyu discovers that the woodcutter has become the crown prince.

Liu Fuyu insists he doesn't know him and can't see him, but Shen Zhizhou pins him down and pulls off his trousers, rubbing his trembling little tail. "Your Highness, are you going to pretend you don't know me now that you've got your pants on?"

Humiliated and furious, Liu Fuyu slaps him. To his surprise, the man likes it, then immediately pulls him into another round of hanky-panky.

And so Liu Fuyu is spirited away to the imperial palace of Beiming, where a prince is substituted for a princess and he becomes the crown princess.

Not long afterward, Liu Fuyu comes to his senses while rubbing his round belly. "Hmm? Something's not right!"

Coming soon 2: "The Little Husband I Picked Up Is a Prince"

The fifth prince of the Yu Dynasty, Rong Sheng, is ambushed and falls off a cliff. He is rescued by the butcher Jiang Zhao, but loses his memory. He recognizes no one except Jiang Zhao and follows him wherever he goes.

Everyone says that Rong Sheng is Jiang Zhao's little husband.

Rong Sheng doesn't know what a husband is. When someone tells him a husband is a man who can have babies, he remembers that Jiang Zhao saved his life and decides that, since he doesn't know how else to repay him, he'll have Jiang Zhao's baby.

Jiang Zhao may be rough around the edges, but he's an honorable man and won't take advantage of someone in a vulnerable position.

So Rong Sheng clings to Jiang Zhao every day, seducing him until he can't take it anymore. Through Rong Sheng's tireless efforts, he finally gets his wish and becomes pregnant.

Every day, Rong Sheng looks forward to the baby growing up quickly. He hopes it'll be a beautiful and adorable little one.

But on the day he gives birth, his guards find him. Before he can even hold his newborn, they take him away.

When Jiang Zhao returns, all he sees are bloodstains on the floor and a hungry, crying baby on the bed.

After returning, Rong Sheng falls gravely ill and forgets everything about Fuyu Village. But when he learns from the imperial physician that he once gave birth to a child, he is ashamed of having been someone's husband and grows even more resentful of the man who got him pregnant.

Not long afterward, famine strikes Fuyu Village. People leave or die, and there's no longer any way to stay. Jiang Zhao has no choice but to join a band of bandits, carrying the hungry baby with him.

When the old bandit chief dies, he passes his position to Jiang Zhao. Jiang Zhao leads the bandits in robbing the rich to help the poor, and even helps government troops several times. When the crown prince hears about this, eager to recruit talented people, he offers Jiang Zhao an official pardon and a place in his service.

The weather is beautiful on the day Jiang Zhao enters the palace, just like it was the day he found Rong Sheng.

He looks up and sees the little wife he has searched for desperately for five years, standing on the city wall.

Rong Sheng is high above him, brilliant and radiant. He's no longer the silly Rong Bao who used to follow Jiang Zhao around five years ago.

Jiang Zhao wants to talk to him, to tell him that he's taken good care of their child and spent years searching for him. But all he gets in return is a cold, hateful, "Get lost..."
