Cheng Sifei

Within the capital city, within the Ministry of Punishments, lay the celestial prison.

A tattered figure crept cautiously through the dark passageway, observing the surrounding spiderwebs and feeling the chilling atmosphere.

His heart palpitated with anxiety as he murmured to himself, "I refuse to become a eunuch. I cannot become a eunuch. I must find a way out..."

His name was Cheng Sifei.

He was a petty rascal roaming the capital city.

Originally, he might have led a simple life in his hometown.

However, fate took a different turn when he was abducted by bandits during a fire.

To survive, he ingratiated himself with the bandits, acquiring a plethora of skills through smooth talk and deception.

Eventually, he found his way to the capital city.

There, he befriended someone named Zhang San.

Together, they devised a scheme: one would feign foolishness while the other posed as a father figure.
