Oh No, Sir! The Young Heir Has Run Away Again!

/Confinement + mild non-consent + sorcery + two souls in one body early on, one soul later + light ensemble cast/

[Ruthless, power-hungry traitor in control × gentle yet strong young heir with the strength to fight, whose clan was wiped out]

The moment Ji Huaizhou stepped through the gates of the residence, he was stunned by the chaos before him. Some servants were packing their belongings, while others fled. Not one of them even spared him a glance. He stopped a maid who was gathering her things, but she slapped his hand away and told him to leave at once.

At first he didn’t understand. Then he did. An imperial decree came crashing down on him, and the words of imperial command were too much for him to take in clearly.

His clan had been wiped out overnight. The emperor had spared him, supposedly to give him a chance to redeem himself. But Ji Huaizhou knew his father, brothers, and elder sister better than anyone. How could he believe the decree’s explanation was true?

Ji Huaizhou refused to believe it, but how could someone as powerless as he was defy the emperor? It wasn’t until the governor took him in that the full truth began to emerge. When he finally learned what had happened, he couldn’t help but give a bitter laugh.

The governor had taken him in, and the governor decided everything for him. He couldn’t refuse. He could only accept it and endure, no matter how unwilling he was.

But how could he be an obedient rabbit? He offered himself to the tiger to lull the man into a false sense of security. He succeeded, and he escaped, but… he was caught again. On a stormy night, his cries of anguish mingled with the thunder.
