Cleaning out these eunuchs was far easier than Fang Zheng had imagined.
That was only natural. Compared with the rebellions of imperial princes, maternal relatives, and the like throughout history, the eunuchs' power had been entirely dependent on imperial authority.

At least in Fang Zheng's view, its transformation was not that different from Starscream's in Transformers.
The VF did not use Britannia's Sakurastone, nor did
