The Tyrant’s Silly Tuntun

I was a dumb roe deer. After I turned human, I became linked to the Tyrant through Pain Synchronization. Afraid I would get myself killed, the Tyrant kept me by his side every day, which made the consorts of the harem hate me to the bone. Later, the Tyrant left the palace on a trip south. His most favored Noble Consort used me to establish her authority in the harem. On the first day, I was punished to kneel for two hours. On the second day, I was slapped for an hour. On the third day, she rewarded me with fifty strokes of the paddle. But my life force was stubborn. No matter how they beat me, I just would not die. On the fourth day, the Noble Consort prepared to saw off my legs. The eunuchs pinned me firmly to an iron bench, while the guards on the other side were already sharpening their blades with a chilling scrape. At the Noble Consort’s command, one swing of the blade would be enough to separate me from both my legs. Just then, the palace gates suddenly flew open. The Tyrant came galloping in, his face swollen so badly it looked like a pig’s head. He dismounted cleanly, only for his legs to give out and dump him on the ground. Then he got up in a fury, yanked me to my feet, and shouted like a madman: “Cut her! Cut her down right now! I will back you up, so kill her this instant!”
