"romantic" "platonic" no whatever those two have going on is way more sinister than all that

Blood of Youth Eunuch Tree

I wasn’t sure whether Zang Ming is a eunuch, so I didn’t include him. There is a eunuch in the novel that has a similar role to him when traveling with Prince Bai, and I’m pretty sure Zang Ming in the show is an amalgamation of that eunuch and another character. So… fifty-fifty chance, I suppose.

As for Long Xie, I had figured that he was a eunuch before reading the novel, so I was seriously confused when I read that he had a mustache. However, it not only turned out to be a fake mustache, but also that he’s kinda secretly Jin Xuan’s student.

Also, I have no idea where he would fit on my tree, but if I remember correctly, the guy driving the freshly-exiled Xiao Se’s carriage is actually Xiao Se’s companion eunuch. He wasn’t given a name, at least that I could recall. Amusingly, Bo Yong wished to be Xiao Se’s new companion eunuch, but was kinda left hanging on an answer.

Zhuo Luo and Zhuo Sen are novel-only characters, directors of Records and Sword respectively. Given how Zhuo Xin is sort of in charge of them after Zhuo Qing died, I figured that perhaps Zhuo Xin is the second oldest.

It is mentioned in the novel that Jin Yu was the disciple of the previous eunuch of Records. I’m guessing that means both Zhuo Luo and Zhuo Qing are his masters, since he definitely calls Zhuo Qing shifu, and it also makes sense that he would receive specialized training from Zhuo Luo.

By that logic, Zhuo Sen might be one of Jin Wei’s masters, but I have less evidence of that.

The novel is weirdly silent about the Eunuch of Incense before Jin Xian. I wonder if he died early. The novel already makes a big point about how much responsibility Jin Xian has taken up (with even more duties than is typical for his position), so him having to take his role sooner than the rest would be consistent with that. The streaks of white in his hair could certainly be due to prolonged stress.

Li Junxian posted a video of his character in the show 我叫白小飞 (honestly, I have no idea what the English title is, it changed at least once in the past week or so). I also have no idea how to watch the show—allegedly Tencent, but I couldn’t find anything on YouTube about it.

He seems to be a villain, so I’d definitely like to watch it someday. Interesting as his performance as Jin Wei was, I preferred the more sleazy and sadistic edge he had as Gang Cun in Legend of Magic Stone.

Anyway, @eunuch-enjoyer5, enjoy.
