Changsheng is the capable eunuch at the Third Prince's side, always obedient and willing to shoulder any burden.
One day, the Third Prince brought him a fox. At a glance, it was snow-white from head to toe, with a bewitching allure.
The prince said it was a spirit fox sent as tribute from the Western Regions. Once tamed, it could transform into a peerlessly beautiful celestial maiden. He told Changsheng to raise it, and promised to send it to him once it became a fairy.
The little eunuch looked the spirit fox over and thought this might be a bit of a problem.
It was a male fox...
The little eunuch thought it over: Could a male fox turn into a fairy, too?
He hurried to tell the Third Prince.
The Third Prince heard him out and waved a hand. "I have no taste for men, either. The spirit fox is yours!"
Changsheng: ?
Fine, then. Changsheng had always been eager to receive silver or rewards at the palace. He could accept the fox, even if it wasn't cash on hand. It was a rare treasure, at least, and would fetch a good price if he sold it on the sly.
The spirit fox was terribly particular. It would only eat heavenly nectar and dew, along with fruit from the Western Regions. At night, it insisted Changsheng hold it while it slept, or else it would howl.
At first, Changsheng refused to sleep with it. It howled all night, until Changsheng knelt and kowtowed to it, then bowed to it like a newlywed and apologized. "Living Buddha, stop howling. We'll sleep together, we'll sleep together..."
To raise such a spendthrift fox, Changsheng not only spent all the money he'd secretly saved over the years, but also shamelessly begged the Third Prince for help again and again.
At last, the spirit fox transformed.
As it took human form, snow fell in the twelfth lunar month, an auspicious omen from the heavens. Beneath the moonlight, its long black hair fell like a waterfall. Its brows were dark as distant mountains, sweeping up toward its temples, and its foxlike eyes tilted slightly upward. Every glance seemed to scatter spring snow.
Ah... a beauty.
The little eunuch stared, entranced.
The fox's bare body was as white as snow, so Changsheng hurriedly draped a robe over it.
"Little eunuch, I've come to repay your kindness," the spirit fox said seductively. "Do you want wealth, power, freedom, or to be my master?"
Seeing the little eunuch still dazed, the spirit fox strode over and pressed Changsheng beneath him, teasing his desire. "Master, if you can't choose, let me choose for you..."
The night was long, and the little eunuch couldn't help reflecting.
The spirit fox stayed buried inside him to keep him warm. It must have been hard work.
The forgotten Third Prince: Why is my little eunuch always sleeping in lately?
