The Infamous Evil Chancellor Is Sui’an’s Loving Father

[Raising a child + mild angst early on + System + no romance + a touch of ensemble cast later]

After his mother dies, five-year-old Yu Sui'an is brought from the countryside to the Chief Councilor's residence. His father is a ruthless minister with power over the entire court, and he pays the boy no attention.

In the depths of winter, Sui'an shivers in a corner, unable even to get a hot meal.

Just as he's about to freeze, a “ding” sounds in his mind.

He's bound to a System called “Righteousness Begins at Home.” It has only one mission: take down his corrupt father and bring peace to the realm!

Sui'an doesn't understand what a corrupt official is, or what the realm means.

His heart is too small to hold the country or its political intrigues.

It has room only for his father.

But the System brother keeps urging him to do bad things: “Host! Go mess with your dad!”

Sui'an shakes his head. “No. Dad is Dad. Sui'an won't mess with him!”

The System is utterly speechless.

How did it end up with such an impossible-to-persuade daddy's boy?

Later, that cold father starts tucking him in at night, keeping watch by his bedside whenever he's sick, and piling all the finest things in the capital before him.

“My son, Sui'an, may the rest of your life be peaceful and safe.”

Sui'an snuggles against his warm chest. Not a single mission has been completed, but the progress bar for “Righteousness Begins at Home” is shooting up.

The System runs eight hundred self-diagnostics, and begins to question its very existence.

When Sui'an grows a little older, he enters the academy.

At first, some people bully him. Later, a group of boys gathers around him, protects him, and sticks to him. None of them can bear to see him suffer.

Surrounded by laughter and warmth, Sui'an feels like the happiest person in the world.

His life is long, and the sweetest things are still to come.
