[One shamelessly hot and one adorably cold]

Everyone in the city of Jing knows without saying it that Ye Ciyi, the illegitimate son of the Ye Group, is a useless pretty face.

Being born useless is the least noticeable of his flaws.

At a young age, he sways with every step and is frail as a willow, with the look of someone doomed to die young.

Yet this very man spends five years sending his father to the grave and his younger brother to prison, seizing control of the company and purging all his rivals. Along the way, he toys with the feelings of Qi Yanming, the head of the Qi family, then dumps him without a second thought.

Then karma catches up with Ye Ciyi.

He dies at the hands of someone seeking revenge, then opens his eyes to find himself back five years earlier. Not a trace remains of the empire he struggled so hard to win.

He's done.

He's tired.

He can't fight anymore. Time to lie flat.

But as he lies there waiting to die, he unexpectedly discovers that his family members are, at least morally, not so bad.

It's just... what should he do about his Uncle Qi, the stern man who never smiles? He seems a little off.
