After a passionate night, Xiao Yan, the arrogant wastrel heir of the Duke of Dingguo’s estate, died of exhaustion. As fate would have it, another Xiao Yan with the same name transmigrated into his body and took his place.
His father and other elders were leading armies on the frontier to repel the enemy. Countless eyes watched him inside and outside the imperial capital, while countless factions wanted him dead to throw the realm into chaos.
The Grand Princess broke off their engagement, he was granted a mute bride, and his father-in-law and sworn enemy were secretly in cahoots...
His elders at the estate were ambushed by treacherous foes and nearly wiped out, leaving only his grandfather, a feeble old prince who held the rare title of Equal to the Emperor, to protect him.
Fine, fine, so this is how you all want to play it!
I, Xiao Yan, will show you all that
kissing the Grand Princess in the street isn’t the limit of what I can do!
And beating my brother-in-law with a military cudgel at the wedding procession isn’t, either!
I’ll steal the star courtesan from the Langchuan boats, wreak havoc at the imperial banquet, and toy with the emperor and his son-in-law...
If you want me to be a menace, then a menace I’ll be. Isn’t that what you all want?
They all call me a wastrel, so I, Xiao Yan, will be the biggest wastrel of them all!
Watch as I use tricks and disguises to pull off an impossible switch, win the Duke of Dingguo’s estate a chance to survive, and bring peace and prosperity back to the realm!
