Becoming the Chief Eunuch

After his death, Ji Qingzhou transmigrates into the role of a villainous cannon fodder in a certain book. In the original story, he commits numerous evils and is eventually executed by the regent king through lingchi, his corpse left exposed in the wilderness. When Ji Qingzhou transmigrates, he hasn’t yet incurred the wrath of the regent king. Determined to keep a low profile and survive, he resolves not to provoke the all-powerful regent king.
