In his previous life, Shen Ji calmly saved a poor man, but as a result, his whole family was wiped out, and he was imprisoned as a caged bird. In the end, his fingers were trampled alive by the man's wife.
After rebirth, Shen Ji'an learned to be smart: This time he didn't want anyone, only the tool man.
He went to the black market for a long time and bought a slave covered in wounds for one thousand two hundred taels. The slave was very obedient, calling him Master, pouring him tea, and shielding him from the knife. Even the tea he poured was about seven percent full - no more, no less, just warm enough to drink.
Shen Ji'an was very satisfied: This tool is good and can be used for a lifetime.
Until one day, the slave climbed out of the pile of dead people covered in blood and pressed him against the wall, with red eyes:
"Ah Ji, you can buy it again after the young master breaks it into pieces. Don't let me go without you."
Shen Ji'an:?
Wait, aren't you a tool person?
Only later did he realize that this was not a tool man. He was the orphan of the King of the North, a prisoner of the imperial court, and the man who would overthrow the world in the future.
And this person just wants to overturn his chessboard and stay by his side.
By the way, he has three clay figures hidden in his sleeves. A tiger, a doll, a swallow. Tigers are the ugliest, dolls are the best, and swallows are the thinnest. They were all bought by Shen Ji'an. He touches it every night for fear of breaking it.
