One of his colleagues was constantly humiliating him, saying he was as beautiful as a fine woman and that he was a kept man, bringing shame to his ancestors.
Day after day, could Yin Xichen really tolerate it?
He couldn't!
Yin Xichen came up with a nasty scheme.
He waited until his superior was sent to the Southwest to proctor exams, a trip that would keep him away for more than half a year, and then he seduced the man's wife.
When it came to wooing women, Yin Xichen truly had a talent for it.
He went to the temple the wife frequented and professed his infatuation for her. He even offered her Dongzhu pearls—which he claimed to have spent his entire fortune on—just to be used as decoration on her shoes.
How could a noble lady, long neglected and repressed, possibly resist such a gesture?
After this happened several times, Yin Xichen successfully found his way into her bed.
When the superior returned from proctoring the exams, Yin Xichen produced an IOU.
