Ling Zhao, the eldest son of the Ling Mansion, was well-known in Kyoto for being arrogant, domineering, and stupid, but he had a very beautiful face, red lips and white teeth, and a handsome appearance that made people unable to take their eyes away. His parents and brothers at home also favored him.
There were rumors in the streets that he often bullied Lingshi, the talented third young master in the mansion, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many noble sons who admired Lingshi.
So there were poetry gatherings, cruises and banquets. These wealthy young men liked to send invitations to Lingzhao, watching him make a fool of himself, and then ridiculing him.
Later, he fell in love with Wen Yan, the talented and charming Prince Pingning. Everyone laughed at him for his wishful thinking, and they liked to use this incident to poke fun at him.
Lingzhao's stupid head couldn't figure it out. Every time he went to a meeting just to see his sweetheart from a distance, why were there always people bullying him?
However, he knew that Prince Pingning was a proud man of heaven and he must not get involved with a stupid Duan Xiu like him. After being frustrated, he stayed at home to enjoy himself and rarely attended those useless gatherings.
When I heard the news about Wen Yan again, he injured his legs and feet after falling from a horse. He has been unable to walk since then. He locked himself in the house and his temperament became unstable.
Lingzhao searched for many folk remedies and secretly sent them to him, but they all disappeared and there was no news.
Unexpectedly, the Ling family was suddenly involved in a major case, and his father, mother, and brother were all unjustly killed. Before they died, they begged His Majesty for his grace to spare his life, so he was punished to be a slave in the workshop and a servant of the sweeper.
But Lingshi changed his identity, changed his name and surname, and became the confidant of the fourth prince.
He scratched Ling Zhao's face with a sharp knife and sneered: "If it weren't for the Ling family, how could the Zhou family have caused the catastrophe of genocide? Your parents owe me this. If they die, it's up to you to repay them. You can't die too soon."
The disfigured Ling Zhao was tortured by him for a long time, but he still dragged his life away, thinking that one day he could avenge the Ling family. In the dark, he felt a lot of despair. He couldn't hold back the tears and blamed himself for being too stupid.
When he woke up one day, he was put on new clothes, given medicine, and slept in a soft brocade quilt. When he opened his eyes, he saw Wen Yan sitting in a wheelchair. He threw himself into his arms and held on to him tightly.
Wen Yan picked him up with a cold face, just to save his life for the sake of folk medicine.
In more than ten years, Wen Yan raised all the flesh from his body and personally taught him how to read, write, paint and play chess. The two fell in love and made a private decision for life.
On the day when Lingshi and the fourth prince initiated the palace coup, Wen Yan was in danger and narrowly escaped death.
A poisonous arrow flew towards him, Lingzhao came on horseback and flew up to block this fatal move for him without hesitation.
After rebirth, Lingzhao finally understood that he was living in a book of bloody stories. Among them, Lingshi is the protagonist who has been dormant for many years. He will assist the fourth prince in ascending to the throne and will be passed down as a good story about the emperor and his ministers in the history books.
And he is the vicious cannon fodder stepped on by the protagonist, while Wen Yan is the third prince living among the people.
Back when he was young, Ling Zhao's first important task was to prevent Wen Yan from falling off a horse and injuring his leg.
After seeing that Wen Yan was safe and sound, he ran out of the suburban racecourse out of breath, wiping the dust rolling on his knees and wiping the tears on his face, thinking desperately that Wen Yan would not like him anymore in this life, he was just a fool and there was nothing he could do to help him.
But when he looked up, he saw Wen Yan standing in front of him, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with a brocade handkerchief, "Why are you crying?"
