After sleeping for an unknown length of time, Jin Yu awoke in a vast, empty field.
The people here had brown hair and blue eyes, and wore clothes he'd never seen before. Though he could somehow understand their strange language, he decided to pretend to be mute until he figured out what was going on.
Before long, a kind passerby mistook Jin Yu for an orphan and sent him to a monastery. But before he could get used to the place, a splendid carriage came to take him away.
A comfortable villa, a beautiful garden, attentive servants.
Jin Yu was once again living the wonderful life of having everything brought to him.

Then, at a grand banquet, he met someone who looked remarkably like an enemy from his previous life. Believing that kindness need not be repaid but revenge must be taken, Jin Yu drew his jeweled dagger and stabbed him.
"Huh? Why isn't he bleeding...?" Jin Yu muttered. With some effort, he pulled out the dagger and stabbed him twice more.
Looking down at the little fellow busily working away at him, Ellis suddenly thought that this dull banquet was... actually rather interesting.

Because he was born in the same month, on the same day, and at the same hour as the emperor, Jin Yu had been raised in the inner palace as a human medicine vessel from the age of three.
Arrogance was his daily habit, and relying on the emperor's favor was his motto. Haughty, overbearing, and utterly lawless, he was known throughout the palace as a man second only to The Outcast.
Jin Yu had always believed that the emperor's lifespan determined his own.
He never expected that on his eighteenth birthday, dressed in magnificent robes that the Imperial Weaving Bureau had spent two years making, he would be ordered by imperial decree to be buried alive in a golden coffin.
Before the coffin was nailed shut, Jin Yu, unconscious, felt someone wrench his mouth open and force a pill down his throat.
There were only two Longevity Pills in the world, and both ended up in Jin Yu's stomach.
The gentlemanly Duke Filio has a beautiful, domineering Oriental wife.
