Summary
[No harem][Not a saint][Not a good person][Not a time traveler][A real eunuch][No system] Lu Li, a beggar wandering the streets during a severe drought, is forced to enter the palace, becoming a slave in the ruthless Forbidden City. As a eunuch, physically disabled, he only has money and power to rely on. Without power or money, he lives a life of aimless wandering; with money but no power, he is at the mercy of others. So, he climbs step by step from the bottom through three reigns to the top. Years later, facing the upright scholars in the court who dare not offend him, Lu Li, revered as the "Nine Thousand Years Old," smiles and mocks: "Bamboo resembles a hypocrite, outwardly strong but inwardly hollow. It must be fine enough to drill holes, its waist flexible enough to bow. In a group, it can block out the sun; standing alone, it cannot withstand the wind. Scholars often admire it, perhaps because their roots are the same."
