In his previous life, Chen Muye became a laughingstock!
Though he was the eldest legitimate son of a marquis's household, he lived worse than a servant.
At twenty, after placing first in the metropolitan exam, he had his identity stolen by his half-brother.
His younger brother also stole the young princess of a prince's household, to whom Chen had been betrothed since childhood.
He married his brother's fiancée, the capital's greatest beauty. She seemed gentle, refined, and pure, but was in truth a vicious woman who betrayed her marriage.
None of the three children she bore were his.
He devoted himself heart and soul to helping his father-in-law rise from a fourth-rank vice minister to a prince and chancellor.
He thought his father-in-law would help him reclaim his title. But on the very day his father-in-law was made a prince, his wife made him drink a cup of poisoned wine.
He died with hatred in his heart.
Reborn, he decided to live a different life...
He would keep his status as a successful candidate in the imperial examinations.
And he would keep his marriage, too.
First, he would place first in the palace exam, then enter the Hanlin Academy, rise to the Grand Secretariat, and keep climbing until he held power over the entire court!
One day, the capital's greatest beauty, who had borne three children by other men in his previous life, blocked his way and simpered as she tried to throw herself into his arms.
