That's what I said, but it also causes impotence which may be a side effect here but could be used (maybe temporarily, maybe dangerously) as the intended effect. The question is, were there any drugs with a similar effect in medieval China?

2024-02-28 03:22:05 +0000 UTCI did a little research into how eunuchs were made in China and throughout history but I couldn't find anything about a chemical that would do it. But I did find a modern-day use for such drugs in a therapy for prostate cancer called ADT: androgen deprivation therapy. Drugs that stop androgens from working: Flutamide (Eulexin), Bicalutamide (Casodex), Nilutamide (Nilandron). They have the effects of castration, and is usually reversible. I don't know enough about about how this could be useful in explaining the past in this story. There is a way physiologically to do it.

2024-02-25 13:26:55 +0000 UTCI am still confused as to who or where Ah-Duo's child went. Is Jinshi the emperor's full or half-brother? Jinshi said it might take a long time for the plot to be traced back to its origins, so no, it didn't go away, other events are in the forefront for the moment. And, who knows, going by what's happened so far, perhaps it is still all connected. It looks like the current emperor's only heir is Jinshi. I can see that they might want to hide him, but if that is the case, why would they put him on display in front of so many people during a ceremony. Also why Jinshi is saying the emperor just needs to produce a son. Perhaps this is his ticket to freedom. I feel like there are different classes of individuals running around even the outer palace, and the ones we've seen, for the most part, don't know who Jinshi is (which makes it strange that he's wearing that official emblem on his robes when interviewing Maomao--does she not know what it means? It would seem such demarcations in costume would be for the very purpose of determining some degree of identity.)
