wait so she is an adopted daughter because his father is a eunuch

Gao Shun looking hopefully out the window while his master is teasing Mao Mao is pure gold

That scene at page 20 had me say "ew" spontaneously

not as crazy dramatic as the presentation/execution in Chinese harem dramas that I watch but this is pretty close (some cdramas tend to be campy but man do they just suck you right in w all the mess and intrigue)

Man mangaka pull some heavy twist here

Whoa man, might we find out about Maomao's mom?

honey is poisonous to infants just by itself

@depzdai
Along with the "an enunch" issue, there's the issue of doing:

"As I though" multiple times.
It's "thought". It sound exactly the same as thot.

@Medicpack

Aaduo IS somebody's mother, but she is not Mao Mao's

Biggus Spoilerus there. Actually, it was even spoiler in a spoiler. A spoilerception

@seekermoc there we go. should be "a" now.

@Kiraidesu

Exactly that, respect tho one must wonder if after "trying once" he didn't look back anymore. Or even if the lady herself insisted that he should search for someone else. Who knows

Respect to the current emperor for not being pedophile scum, and for staying faithful to one lady for over ten years despite what must have been the usual court pressures (of course, he's now a lustful bastard lol).

Spoiler

Sorry, I had to.

@Official229

@Tarage already pointed it out, but while you said it should be fixed now, page 5 is still incorrect. "An" precedes a vowel sound, not an actual vowel: an hour; a eunuch.

@thatsleepyguy

She means eunuch as a court position, not as a state of castration. His balls most assuredly did not grow back.

damn, after reading those spoiler, i'm kinda hoping an anime out of this.

And so ShaoMao continued the purge of Lady Rishuu's maids...?

Being Gaoshun is suffering. Hang in there mate.

@Tarage Oh thank you very much for correcting. I always thought that eunuch was spelled "oy-nuck".

Late emperor liked lolis, but he died before bedding Lady Rishuu.

New emperor likes mature women so he's not really interested by Lady Rishuu.

So, lady Rishuu is a prime target for people who want to replace her as one of the four main concubines.
