The Nine-Thousand-Year-Old

Li Wangyan is suddenly reborn as a young eunuch, and not just any eunuch, but one who has just come off the castration table!

He starts with a terrible hand: no money, no power, no backing! All he has is the unbearable pain of having just been castrated! To make matters worse, his fellow eunuchs frame him, and his superiors take their anger out on him one after another.

But he obtains an item called a [Card Game]. Anyone whose emotional level toward him, such as affection, reverence, jealousy, or hatred, reaches 80 or higher can be added to his card collection. Depending on the emotion level, they become usable items...

He plans every move carefully, scheming with precision...

From a lowly lad who empties the night-soil buckets to a favorite who serves at the emperor's side;

From an obscure young eunuch to a steward eunuch wielding real authority;

From a palace official who walks among the outer court to the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old who can approve memorials on behalf of the Son of Heaven...

The civil and military officials bow their heads before him, and the imperial princes and grandsons must watch his every expression before they act.

Those who once bullied him now have three-foot-high grass growing over their graves;

Those who once looked down on him now lie prostrate at his feet!

Climbing from the lowest rung as a young eunuch to the position of the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old, The Outcast, second only to one man and above all others, took every cut of the knife... ahem... and every painstaking step along the way!
