Hey, charbydis! I started reading your story while I was on vacation, but due to my limited internet minutes, I didn't leave you a message. I have only read up to chapter 2. I have to admit I am quite surprised that you have focused this story on eunuchs. However, given the eunuchs' immense power during certain points in Chinese history, I trust that this story will be a very interesting read. I admire you for trying to tackle a plot line that incorporates real historical facts and figures in with fictional ones. I do not think I will ever have the time to do all that history research nor do I have the talent to weave facts seamlessly in with fiction. So kudos to you!
By the way, I now know why you said I would be glad you kept Wallace Chung out of your cast list...
I don't recognize very many of the actors in your story, other than Felix Wong, Eddie Kwan, and Derek Kwok, but it hardly matters as I no longer choose stories based on cast list.
Keep up the good work, and may I say that I am quite glad to see you back as a writer!
