[Two male leads + groveling exes + immersive world-hopping + everyone falls for the protagonist]
Hao Nian, a hated demon who deserved to die, met his end in the twenty-third year of the Shenjiang Era, at the age of twenty-two.
Looking back on his life, he had gone mad, been sick, acted foolishly, and nearly died. He had loved with all his heart and given himself with unwavering devotion. He had also watched his beloved die in his arms, powerless to help, his heart torn apart.
He thought it was time to join him.
But after his death, the young chancellor, who had once seemed as pure as moonlight, came back from the dead. Looking down at Hao Nian's corpse, he said, “Hao Nian was unruly by nature and loved killing. This is the best ending for him.”
Only then did Hao Nian understand that it had all been his scheme.
In the end, Hao Nian lost his friends and family, repaid none of the kindness he owed, and had nowhere to go. He was reduced to ashes in the red lotus flames of karma.
When he opened his eyes again, he had become the fourth prince, trapped deep in the palace.
Meanwhile, the graceful young gentleman from before knelt in the middle of the palace where Hao Nian had once lived, clutching a talisman, eyes bloodshot as he called Hao Nian's name.
The moment he saw Hao Nian, it was as if a dead man had been given a sliver of hope. He clung to him and wept uncontrollably. “Xiao Nian, I was wrong! I've been looking for you for three years. Are you finally willing to see me? I really was wrong!”
“Let go.”
Hao Nian pushed Xie Yushu away coldly and gave him a smile that could only be called cruel.
“Hao Nian is dead. I am Shangguan Nian, the fourth prince of the Li Dynasty. And you are?”
