Castrated Chicken

Can anyone explain to me what this…catchily entitled…flick is all about?
I saw a poster of it outside Tainan’s Deli King today.

Is it one of those medieval Chinese costume epics concerning the life story of a court euneche?

The Taipei Times has some info on it:

Here’s some more from CNA:

But neither of them directly explains the significance of the title.

Apparently one of the characters, a young husband, becomes ill and stops working, leaving the wife to manage the household. I’ll make a wild guess that the title has something to do with that.

This seems to reinforce that idea, assuming that the machine translation I used was in the neighborhood of what was written:
