Eight years after Wen Deng's death, he woke up again with the body of a death row prisoner.
On the first day after entering the palace, he was escorted into the Ancestral Temple, where he knelt in front of his tablet and offered incense.
The young emperor Xiao Du kept him by his side, and everyone in the civil and military dynasties thought that the emperor just found a substitute similar to his old friend, and was ready to slowly humiliate him. Wen Deng also pretended to be greedy for life and afraid of death, hiding his dream interrogation skills, secretly investigating why he betrayed Xiao Du and why he died in the fire.
But the first time he mistakenly entered Xiao Du's dream, he saw the seventeen-year-old boy kneeling in the snow, holding the body taken out of the fire, and asking over and over again: "Sir, why don't you want me?"
Hearing the lamp woke him up from his dream.
Xiao Du sat beside the bed and calmly called out his real name:
"Wen Deng, it's been eight years, how long will you continue to pretend?"
Everyone thought he was a stand-in.
Only Xiao Du knew that he was back from the first sight.
