Xu Ci was different from other girls even as a child. Before she entered the palace, her family had her fortune told. The charlatan put on a solemn act, stroked the few hairs on his head, and said mysteriously, "Young lady, you'll be surrounded by children and grandchildren one day."
Everyone else beamed and thanked him, but Xu Ci looked grave. "Then, Master, how can I avert this calamity?"
Everyone in the palace knew that the eunuch Chong Lu was going to marry Xu Ci. Her parents wailed through their tears, saying this would rob them of the blessing of grandchildren.
The palace maids next door took turns trying to scare her, saying she'd never have children in her life.
When Xu Ci heard the news, she was so delighted she could barely contain herself. She left the palace that very night to pay the fortune-teller the rest of his fee, giving him a thumbs-up as she said, "It really works!"
Ever since he was castrated and entered the palace, Chong Lu had never expected anyone to love him. He had already resigned himself to a lonely life. Then Xu Ci appeared, and he could hardly believe the passionate, sincere love she offered him.
"I'm just a eunuch who records the emperor's brush-written edicts."
"That's fine. I'm just a palace maid who dispenses medicine."
"But I'm a eunuch."
"I know. So what?"
"Xu Ci, do you really understand? I can't give you children."
"That's wonderful!"
This time, I'm writing some brainless, silly fluff to help everyone relax.
I'll finish the Qing-era transmigration story first, then continue with the Lord Eunuch story and write this one. I've even got a backlog ready.
I'm happily cooking up a story. Everyone's welcome to take a taste.
Nothing heavy, no political power struggles, just silly, cheerful reading to unwind before bed.
It's all little snippets of their daily lives.
They're moderately capable, hold neither high nor low positions, are neither good nor bad, and lead lives that are neither exciting nor dull.
As usual:
One-on-one romance, a real eunuch, happy ending.
A doctor who slacks off and is obsessed with mysticism x a eunuch who suffers in silence to save face
Theme: Going from slacking off alone to slacking off together
