The soul of Chu Huai, a modern graduate student, travels to the body of the down-and-out seventh prince of Daqi. At the beginning, he was wrongly imprisoned and was burdened with the system. He has only one mission: to reduce the blackening value of Xiao Shu, the admiral of the East Factory, to 10%. If the mission fails, he will appear in another world and both will die.
Xiao Shu is also a modern visitor. He accidentally wandered into another world at the age of fifteen. The bound system requires him to find a substitute who is also a traveler, and he must be willing to die before he can return home. After sixteen years of painstaking planning, he climbed to a high position of power based on historical strategies. After years of searching to no avail, the system disappeared. Assimilated into the troubled times, he has a vicious and murderous nature and takes pleasure in playing with power.
When he first met Chu Huai in prison, the system that had been dormant for several years was revived. Xiao Shu recognized Chu Huai's identity as a time traveler at a glance, but mistakenly believed that the two had the same mission. He planned every step of the way, cutting off all the prince's court patrons and alienating family ties, while frequently offering help in times of need, pretending to show vulnerability and sincerity to seduce Chu Huai. During the daily grind, Chu Huai was moved by his true feelings, but accidentally discovered the traces of modern people in Xiao Shu.
Xiao Shu set up a dead end, intending to force Chu Huai to sacrifice his life to complete the task. It can be seen that Chu Huai was desperate to protect him and was shaken in his heart. At the critical moment, Chu Huai accidentally received the Xiao Shu system panel and saw through the entire scam. He was originally lonely and helpless, and had repeatedly encountered obstacles in his studies. He was already tired of the world. Even though this love was full of calculations, a little sincerity was enough to save his life.
In the end, Chu Huai committed suicide in front of Xiao Shu, soaking the python robe with warm blood. Before his death, he whispered softly: I never came to die as a substitute, my mission is to make you happy.
Purpose: To explore in the troubled times of power and disputes, the true meaning of love is never to use and bind, but to fulfill it willingly.
