   ① A historical fiction story where the male protagonist is the only son in his family (female transmigrates into male). ② Zhang Ping'an is reborn and transmigrates to an ancient farming family. Fortunately, his family is relatively well-off, so he doesn't have to go hungry. He has six older sisters, and he is the only son his family has been hoping for. His parents favor sons over daughters, and all six sisters are fierce. He thought he would be a "brother-supporting demon" (a character who prioritizes his brother's needs over his own), but he ends up being a "sister-supporting demon" (a character who prioritizes his sisters' needs over his own). Being the only male in the family is incredibly stressful. He only wanted to pass the imperial examinations and live a peaceful life, but before he could even get married, the crumbling and turbulent country was in ruins. There was famine and war, forcing him to lead his family into survival mode and get caught up in the vortex of the era.

    "Daddy, Daddy, waaaaaah," Yi'an couldn't see Austin's gloomy face. She hugged his neck and cried her heart out, pointing at Allen between sobs, "He bullied me, he bullied me, waaaaah…" Allen's face darkened instantly. When had he ever bullied him? All he had done was give him a drink, and he actually quite liked that drink. Allen had never seen anyone change their attitude so quickly, so easily twisting the truth. This kid was indeed cunning. Even Austin was taken aback by Yi'an's actions. He was disgusted that Yi'an was wiping her tears and snot on his collar, but he also felt complicated by the unfamiliar term "Daddy." Even though Yi'an had been drinking and her speech was slurred from crying, Austin still knew that "Daddy" was what children in common families called their fathers, representing intimacy. Royal family ties were often distant, and such closeness between relatives was rare. Even the Crown Prince, whom he had personally raised, had never been this close. The child nestled in his arms truly sees him as a father figure in his heart. [Smirk]

Soon, a small figure toddled in, its short legs clattering in – it was none other than the six-year-old Crown Prince Yinreng. Today, he wore a dark blue casual robe with delicate silver trim, and a small ruby-topped hat that accentuated his delicately sculpted face, highlighting his large, bright, and intelligent eyes. "Your subject greets Your Majesty, may Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace!" Yinreng's childish voice, like a clear spring, instantly dispelled the somber atmosphere of the Qianqing Palace. He respectfully bowed, but his movements, due to his young age, carried a touch of endearing clumsiness.
