Do You Know? The Sheng Family's Fourth Son, a Half-Brother Worth Getting Along With

[Story of Minglan Fanfiction] [Ensemble Cast and Serious Drama] [Reliable Concubine-Born Older Brother] [Wits and Ambition] [Imperial Examinations and Criminal Law] [Single Female Lead: Cheng Lingyi] [Does Not Break Up the Original Couple]

Sheng Changhuan spent nine years as a concubine-born son in the Sheng family.

His birth mother died early, and with no one to support him, he learned from childhood to speak little, compete for little, and study hard.

That was until Lady Wei died giving birth to twins.

Everyone had an excuse. Everyone said they were innocent.

But the Seventh Sister, who had just lost her birth mother, could only hug an old painting and couldn't even swallow a mouthful of hot porridge.

It was also after that serious illness that Sheng Changhuan remembered another life, one that had lasted twenty-six years.

At last, he realized: this was Story of Minglan.

And he, Sheng Changhuan, was the Sheng family's Fourth Son, a character who had never existed in the original story.

He knew how some people would end up, but couldn't remember every detail.

Besides, knowing the plot had never meant he could outplay the human heart.

The first time he tried to change the story, he put himself right in the middle of the feud between Wang Ruofu and Lin Qinshuang.

Only then did Sheng Changhuan understand: protecting the people around him couldn't rely on "foresight" alone.

He needed to make something of himself.

So when Hualan suffered after her marriage, she gained a younger brother back home who could stand up for her.

When Minglan was forced to hide her talents, she gained a Fourth Brother who was willing to speak up for her.

Changbai followed his path of virtuous principle, and Gu Tingye followed the bold path of a military family, while Sheng Changhuan threw himself into the imperial examinations and criminal law, making his way step by step from the Sheng family's most overlooked concubine-born son into the Court of Judicial Review.
