The Spy in the Southern Song Palace

Transmigrated as a death row inmate, I was forced to become a fake eunuch. In the 16th year of Jiading of the Southern Song Dynasty, modern criminal psychology expert Shen Mo transmigrated into a wrongfully accused 'Liao spy' scheduled for execution by slow slicing in three days. In the Ministry of Justice prison, he touched a bloodstained torture device and could retroactively see the crime scene—witnessing a purple-robed official whispering to a jailer: '...He must die!' At the moment of desperation, a man in black from the Imperial City Department pushed open the door: 'Become a eunuch and enter the palace to be the emperor's eyes, and you may live.' 'Otherwise, three thousand six hundred cuts, every slice to the bone.' To survive, Shen Mo gritted his teeth and stepped into the castration room. As the blade fell, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes—the eunuch holding the knife had silver ingots hidden in his bosom meant to kill him! From then on, the Southern Song harem gained an 'unremarkable' little eunuch. A palace maid fell into a well? He touched the corpse and saw the murderer's hand pushing her. Tributes went missing? He touched the lock and saw the night when the Prime Minister's steward received the stolen goods. Military crossbows flowed into enemy states? He stroked the crossbow mechanism and saw the night banquet where the Jin envoy conspired with the current prime minister. From the savior of a discarded cold palace consort to the thorn in the side of the powerful prime minister; from the lowest-level agent 'Night Owl' of the Imperial City Department to the behind-the-scenes king controlling the entire Lin'an spy network. Relying on a pair of eyes that could see the truth of the past, Shen Mo carved a bloody path through the deep palace and the court.
