There was an old drama series that Yan Zheyun remembered watching once with his mother when she'd been feeling nostalgic. It was an adaptation of a classic novel written by a famous wuxia writer. The protagonist of this novel had grown up in a brothel before entering the palace as a fake eunuch and befriending Emperor Qianlong (1).
(1) Duke of Mount Deer, written in 1969 Jin Yong, recognised as one of the greatest wuxia novelists to date.
(2) Laobao: a procuress of a brothel in ancient times.
Liu Yao: I’m handsomer, right? Right???
