Back to My Father’s Youth, When the Tutor Was Still Easy to Bully

Born into another life; outwardly meek and even more harmless; easy to bully; acts and reacts like a normal person: Ye Huai. Steady within, unmatched in integrity, and of complicated identity: His Highness the Crown Prince, Huizhao.

The main story is told in third person. Xiao Fu will not travel back again, and will make use of his status as Crown Prince.

He arrives in his parents' youth.

In the Huizhao era, my father is Qi Ce, a sage ruler whose reputation was settled before his coffin was even closed.

But one ordinary night, he tells me that he is not my father. The other soul that has occupied his body for years is.

That person is called Qi Che, and comes from the modern world.

Just after learning from Qi Ce that I am not of royal blood, and confirming that Qi Che killed my birth parents, I return to a time before I was born... an era that looks much like the one ruled by that sovereign and his minister, yet is not the same.

The world changes with the passing years, people exchange one life for another, and I find myself in a different world.

...Here is another version of the blurb.

Huizhao: “My beloved is insecure and sensitive, conflicted and silent, but I love him.”

The Crown Prince sings and dances to win one man's heart.

“...You said you would change my fate. Is Huizhao my fate too?”

Ye Huai is never happy, yet even his insecurity is gentle.

“I have neither a beautiful face nor a charming way with words.”

“That's all right. I'll spoil you rotten.”

Ye Huai can't help laughing. Huizhao's gaze is gentle, yet sharp.

“See? I'm a funny guy too.”

And now for a morbid joke.

Huizhao gets to know everyone he once knew through what amounts to breaking in and robbing them, but he discovers a problem: there are many people making waves in the Shunqing era whom he's heard of but never met, because they died before their Crown Prince was even born.
