A House Servant: Turmoil in the Capital

[A no-brainer feel-good story with two male leads: a world of household slaves, where the hierarchy can never be changed. A tale of power, loyalty, and oppression...]

Di Jing and Di Yuan are half-brothers, born to the same father.

Di Jing has always been arrogant and ruthless, treating human lives as worthless.

That is, until he went to Jiangcheng and met Shen Xingnian.

Di Jing thought he had found the person fate had destined for him,

but his frenzied attempts to keep Shen Xingnian by his side only drove the young man further away,

until he lay on the verge of death and begged, “Young Master, please let me go.”

Even then, Di Jing still wanted Shen Xingnian to stay with him,

until a turning point finally led him to set Shen Xingnian free.

Only later did Di Jing understand

that some things were forever beyond his reach.

So he chose to let go.

Because he believed that loving someone meant letting them be,

wanting them to live well, even if their life had no place for him.

The other brother, Di Yuan, is fiercely career-minded with just a touch of a romantic streak.

His desire to control Huo Xiao, a third-class household slave, grows by the day.

He thinks of Huo Xiao as a part of himself, his most treasured darling.

He loves Huo Xiao and punishes him,

keeping him by his side in the name of love.

But one day, the once-docile puppy begins to dream of escape.

Di Yuan simply asks gently, “Huo Xiao, where are you running off to this time?”

Huo Xiao shakes his head through his tears. But what is the reason for his suffering?

And what is he hiding?

In the end, after five years of struggle for the position of head of the Di family...

Who will claim the prize?

Between Di Jing and Di Yuan, who will truly rule Huaguo?
