After Feigning Madness, I Caught the Eye of the Ruthless Chief Eunuch
Pu Zuo You
Xie Changsheng transmigrated into a political intrigue novel. The character sharing his name was the most beautiful and doted-upon little prince in the entire book. And also an utterly unparalleled idiot of a villain. The original protagonist caused endless trouble, leveraging his father’s favor—today scolding the crown prince, tomorrow beating up the young marquis, and the next day kidnapping and humiliating the imperial seal-holding eunuch. Everyone in the novel coveted the throne, but their one unified goal was to kill the original protagonist first. Xie Changsheng arrived one year before the old emperor's death. Once the emperor died, he would be tortured and killed by these people in the most gruesome way possible. Tears streamed down Xie Changsheng’s face. To survive, Xie Changsheng pretended to be an idiot. * Gu Feiyi, the imperial seal-holding eunuch, monopolized court affairs. One day, word spread like wildfire: The little prince has become a fool! Gu Feiyi thought it must be a scheme. When he went to investigate, he saw Xie Changsheng with a vacant stare and a foolish expression. Having lived in a palace full of cunning people, Gu Feiyi—who had never encountered a true idiot—felt a spark of curiosity. He took out a pastry and asked Xie Changsheng, “Want some?” * Xie Changsheng ate it. Gu Feiyi discovered the joy of feeding someone. He thought, *I won’t kill him—I’ll keep him around for fun.* - At first, Gu Feiyi thought he was just raising a useless person. Later, he felt like he was keeping a pet. Then, he realized it was more like raising a dumb son. Finally, Gu Feiyi was horrified to realize his paternal feelings for Xie Changsheng had… taken a wrong turn.
