A car accident sends two modern-day brothers transmigrating together.
The older brother, Xie Chi, nicknamed Big Fool Xie, is tongue-tied, hopeless with money, and slow to learn martial arts. But when it comes to protecting his little brother, he would risk his life without hesitation.
The younger brother, Xie Lei, is frail and sickly. Whatever internal energy he cultivates leaks away as fast as he gains it. Yet he has a photographic memory and was born to be a strategist who can read people's hearts.
On the first day after waking up, the older brother finds a System in his head: Get your brother onto the throne, and you die. Refuse, and he dies right now. The older brother doesn't even hesitate: I'll die.
He doesn't know that on the same day, his little brother also gets a System in his head: Make your older brother the greatest under heaven, and you die. Refuse, and he dies right now. The younger brother doesn't hesitate either: I'll die.
So one brother works in the open, brave and unmatched, taking every blade meant for the other and winning the hearts of the world. The other works in secret, planning a thousand miles ahead, laying a path to the heavens for his brother and laying the path to his own death at the same time.
Both brothers do everything they can for each other, each thinking the other knows nothing about it.
The most heartbreaking thing in the world isn't sacrifice. It's two idiots who promised to die for each other. A good emperor who can live in peace.
I played my part so well that he really thought I was a selfish, cowardly miser who treasured his own life.
The one thing I never counted on was that the idiot had no intention of letting me die.
