Three Sentences to Make My Eldest Brother Castrate Himself

Li Zhu had been stunningly beautiful since childhood.

Her mother, a famous courtesan of her time, once held her and said, "My Li Zhu will grow into an incomparable beauty, with an exalted status. She won't suffer the same fate I did."

And so it came to pass.

First, the Fan Yang Li clan adopted her as their daughter. Then the emperor fell in love with her at first sight and brought her into his harem.

On the day the imperial decree arrived, her eldest brother, who had always borne the family's expectations, suddenly castrated himself so he could stay by her side for the rest of his life.

She had thought that once she entered the palace, all she would need to do was compete for the emperor's favor.

But the emperor was frail, and the imperial relatives watched hungrily from the sidelines.

She decided that she had to find a way to protect her own future.

Xiao Sanlang had survived countless brushes with death and earned his military honors, all so that one day he could marry the young Taoist nun he loved.

He was consumed by grief.

Then, the lonely young Taoist nun he remembered suddenly reappeared as the Empress Dowager, ruling from behind the curtain...
