But because of the empress's words, "Merchant is lowly, but his wealth is acceptable", his family was ruined.
> After his rebirth, he turned out to be the meanest male favorite in his enemy's harem - a stand-in who was chosen because he looked exactly like the empress Bai Yueguang.
> The court officials despised him: "The son of a merchant is only worthy of serving others with sex!"
>The empress looked down upon him: "Playthings should be treated as playthings."
> Shen Yan lowered his eyes and sneered, respectfully and obediently.
> While he was enjoying himself by the side of the dragon bed, he was quietly reconstructing the economic lifeline of the empire with the world as his plate and capital as his son.
> When the border military pay is cut off, the national treasury is inexplicably empty, and the world is in turmoil...
> The empress on the dragon throne was finally shocked. She looked down at the stunning male favorite who was still kneeling docilely at her feet, and her voice trembled:
> "Who... Are you?"
> Shen Yan raised his eyes and met her frightened gaze, his smile was as gentle as when he first met:
> "Your Majesty, I am the beast you have locked next to me with your own hands - the beast that swallows the country."
