黄皓
According to the "Jin Shu", Chen Shou served as a (觀閣令史; a clerk) in Shu. However, the "Huayang Guozhi" mentioned that he held the following appointments consecutively: Registrar (主簿) of the General of the Guards (衛將軍); "donguan mishu lang" (東觀秘書郎; an official librarian); Gentleman of Scattered Cavalry (散騎侍郎); and Gentleman of the Yellow Gate (黃門侍郎). In the final years of Shu ( 250s–260s), many officials fawned on Huang Hao, an influential court eunuch, in their bid to win his favour. Chen Shou's refusal to engage in such flattering and obsequious behaviour took a toll on his career: He was demoted on several occasions and sent out of the Shu capital, Chengdu.
