A cryptic prophecy, "The one who tied the bell must be the one to untie it," sends Xu Leshui, a male history student, to transmigrate into the body of a hostage prince from an enemy state.
And now, his chance has come. With his wits, Xu Leshui is tearing through the royal court:
A mere food shortage? Handled!
A mere devastating flood? Handled!
A mere crown prince out to get him? Handled!
The forces of evil cry out in despair: Who can use their powers and take this man down?!
After praying to heaven and earth, the hostage prince Xu Leshui finally dies in an accident. But before they can celebrate for long, why has another person just as troublesome as Xu Leshui appeared?!
Wait, something's not right. This person is...
"Hehe, bet you didn't expect this. It's still me. I'm back!"
Watch Xu Leshui become a brilliant savior, adored by the people, step by step, and find a beautiful love!
The cool and distant eldest son of the chancellor: "Meeting you made me realize where I belong."
The childhood friend, a wolfish young man from a foreign land: "Please, just stay by my side forever."
The dashing young general: "I want to go further with you, too, even if we're not lovers."
Even the cold and heartless Second Prince Xiao Zhuo breaks character: "Don't leave me again. I can't take it anymore..."
Xu Leshui had heard stories of tyrants. The man was brutal in the first half of his life, then devoted himself to good governance in the second. To Xu Leshui, he was no more than a distant shadow in the history books.
Only after transmigrating into this dynasty did Xu Leshui fall into a dreamlike illusion. In this unfamiliar world, suspicion and betrayal came one after another, and only the sincerity of a beating heart could not be deceived. Before they could fully confess their feelings, they were separated.
Someone clutched a bloodstained corner of a garment, waiting through years of withering and flourishing.
When they met again, he said softly, "I'm back."
