Lin Huaichuan, the legitimate son of the General's Manor, pretended to be a spoiled wastrel. His reckless behavior was his disguise.
After his family fell into ruin, he was left destitute and wandering the streets. Just when all hope seemed lost, Su Yun, whom he had once offended, took him in out of kindness, making him a lowly servant in the Minister's Manor.

The servant who once raised dogs would eventually become a king vying for dominion over the land.
