The most virtuous prince of the Qing Dynasty, the Eighth Prince, failed in the struggle for the throne. Yongzheng renamed him Seshehei, meaning worse than a pig or a dog, and he died miserably in the Imperial Clan Court.
The Eighth Prince looked back on the details of the struggle among the nine princes and realized that he had failed only because his mother came from the lowly Imperial Household Department laundry service, and Kangxi had never favored her.
Love someone, and everything associated with them benefits. Hate someone, and everything associated with them suffers too. If people don't like you, whatever you do is futile. As the saying goes, a simp ends up with nothing.
"Why can Fourth Brother become heir and call himself the righteous one just because he recognized a empress from the Tongjia clan as his stepmother? Why can't I, Eighth Brother, fight for the throne because I was born to a lowly concubine from the Imperial Household Department? Why am I the villain? Are kings and generals born to their stations?!"
Reborn in a new life, the Eighth Prince decides to change his approach to virtue, becoming ever more virtuous until he awakens the Virtuous Prince System.
"Fourth Brother, Your Majesty, if you hadn't had Wusi Dao as your official cheat in your previous life, you couldn't have beaten me."
"In this life, I've awakened the Virtuous Prince System too, and I'll see how it measures up against your official cheat, Wusi Dao."
"In your previous life, you, the Cold-Faced Prince, founded the Yongzheng dynasty with the character 'Yong.' In this life, I, the Eighth Virtuous Prince, will found the Xianzheng dynasty with the character 'Xian'!"
