He plans to keep his head down and scrape by, but discovers that he has an unexpected golden finger: fragments of information from the original novel reveal the Jia family’s coming downfall. With a raid on the mansion looming, Jia Huan decides to make secret plans and try to change his fate as an illegitimate son.

As the great mansion teeters on the brink of collapse, can one person’s efforts truly change the ending? When the Jia family finally falls into ruin, Jia Huan comes to understand what a transmigrator’s greatest test really is: not changing fate, but learning how to preserve himself amid the tide of the times...
