After transmigrating seven years ago, Lin Mo avenges his predecessor and takes his twin brother’s place as heir to the Prince of Zhenbei’s estate.
From the start, he throws himself into the situation, comforting his alluring younger brother’s wife, left alone in the inner chambers.
When civil officials move to suppress the Prince of Zhenbei’s household, a few poems leave them disgraced before all the realm.
Everyone assumes the only princely house with a different surname must be distrusted by the empress. Little do they know that Lin Mo has been doing a roaring business with her behind the scenes.
But Lin Mo only wants to cooperate on business, while the empress is already hoping they can cooperate on making a baby.
Then the old prince takes his last breath, the great clans reveal their fangs, and the former emperor’s hidden sons emerge one by one, rallying under the banner of “cleansing the court.” Lin Mo is the evil man at the ruler’s side they mean to remove.
If he’s to be the villain, then let him raise the butcher’s blade.
