Zhou Yuande is the head eunuch serving Emperor Shun Guang, always carrying a dust whisk. He is shrewd, diplomatic, and adept at flattering both his superiors and peers, often subtly praising the empress or the emperor. He manages the tea room and oversees Chu Liuzheng's work. He is quick to follow the emperor's mood, and when the emperor orders Madam Zhou to be slapped, he personally executes the punishment with force. He is attentive to the emperor's needs, and after seeing the emperor's interest in Chu Liuzheng, he quickly switches to support the princess to curry favor. He is efficient and ruthless when required, but also careful not to offend the emperor.
