After Becoming a Wet Nurse at the General's Mansion

Lin Zhu was attacked and robbed by bandits amid fierce wind and sand. Just as his life hung by a thread, a group of riders on warhorses descended like gods and rescued him. The man at the head of the group wore dark armor. He was like a deep pool beneath the setting autumn sun, and like a fierce gale sweeping across the desert. To repay his debt of gratitude, Lin Zhu stayed by the man's side and became a servant in the general's residence. * Xiao Yuan was raised by his elder sister from a young age. Before she died, she left behind a niece who had only recently been born. To repay his sister for raising him, Xiao Yuan was determined to do his best to bring up his niece. But who could have guessed that the little girl would be allergic to all the wet nurses he hired? While everyone in the general's residence worried, Lin Zhu quietly went to the man who had saved his life and said, “General, perhaps I could give it a try.” Xiao Yuan asked in confusion, “So many people have been at a loss. What could you possibly do, ” His words came to an abrupt halt. Xiao Yuan looked at the frail young man, who said nothing as he rested his fingertips against his collar, and cursed under his breath. ** Lin Zhu had always felt inferior because of his misshapen body. From childhood onward, he drifted like duckweed, barely surviving on the frontier. Like dust in the earth or rotten weeds, he was someone anyone could mock and ridicule. When Lin Zhu was sunk deep in self-loathing, Xiao Yuan pulled him into a tight embrace. The mighty Grand General Who Pacifies the West lost control, as if he meant to press Lin Zhu into his iron-hard body. “How could Xiao Zhu be ugly?” “You're the most beautiful person I've ever seen. No one else compares. I wish I could have you by my side every single day.” PS: The recipient has a special physical condition and is not intersex; the reason will be revealed later.

Please add it to your collection~~ Gu Huan is a little eunuch, sickly year-round, but blessed with a handsome face, fair skin, fine brows, red lips, and white teeth. He also has a powerful godfather who can protect him. So his life in the palace is fairly comfortable. He only needs to wait until his godfather grows old, then care for him in his final years and see him off. Later, the new emperor ascends the throne, and his godfather loses power overnight. Gu Huan's good days are over, too. A eunuch who has fallen from favor is worth less than a drowned dog. Once, everyone respectfully called him Eunuch Xiao Huan. Now they curse him as a filthy castrated dog. Gu Huan meets with rejection everywhere. By the time his godfather dies a hasty death, he cannot even see him one last time. At his most despondent, he remembers what his godfather told him before he died. “Eunuchs in this palace, if you want to climb all the way to the top, you need to find a patron. And if you want to stand firm and secure, you need to find a patron who's big and powerful.” So Gu Huan slowly lifts his head. His gaze passes over the many palace halls and lands on the new emperor, supreme ruler of the Golden Throne Hall. Gu Huan either settles for nothing, or goes for the very best. * Several years have passed since the new emperor ascended the throne, yet his harem remains empty. Memorials urging him to select consorts pile up before the imperial desk like falling snow. But the emperor does not even read them. He simply has them thrown out. The one who throws out the memorials is Gu Huan. The court officials join together to denounce Gu Huan, accusing him of throwing the court into chaos and letting a eunuch abuse his power. At the time, Gu Huan is barefoot, his snow-white feet stepping over a floor strewn with memorials. He brazenly slips his feet into the emperor's arms and claims the emperor's embrace for himself. The red-lipped, white-toothed eunuch smiles and says, “Your Majesty, if they insult me, they're insulting you. Under the law of the land, what is the punishment for deceiving the emperor and defying his authority?” Those who insult him have their tongues cut out, then are stripped of office and exiled. Later, Gu Huan goes from being a eunuch everyone curses to the new emperor's most favored subject. He also becomes the Nine-Thousand-Year Lord, second only to The Outcast and above everyone else. Everyone in the palace fears Gu Huan. When they see him, they respectfully call out, “May Your Highness enjoy a thousand years of blessings.” A gentle, beautiful, frail little eunuch who transforms into a gorgeous, sickly, unhinged man vs. a devoted, feudal, possessive emperor daddy top.
