Jiang Yu'an was a bright-eyed college student who had just graduated. After two months of getting knocked around by the real world, he transmigrated to ancient times before he could even experience life as a mature adult.
He even landed in the imperial palace, a place fraught with danger in most novels.
Fortunately, he had transmigrated into the body of a prince who had just been rescued after falling into the water. Not only was his status noble, he also had a crown prince for a full brother, born to the same father and mother.
Unfortunately, his imperial father and mother consort had high hopes for his brother. They loved him, but didn't pay him much attention, while his crown prince brother mostly ignored him.
Jiang Yu'an was the youngest. His other princely and princessly siblings couldn't be bothered with him, and the Grand Tutor thought him slow-witted, bringing him up whenever he praised the crown prince. Fortunately, there was a young gentleman from the Ministry of Works, cool and aloof by nature but usually very gentle with him.
Jiang Yu'an was perfectly content with all this. He had no particular ambition to begin with, and was happy to keep a low profile.
But little by little, things began to change. His relationships with his brothers and sisters grew closer, the Grand Tutor quietly took him as a pupil, and the young gentleman from the Ministry of Works became his beloved senior brother. A young general newly returned to court fell in love with him at first sight, and his imperial father and mother began to turn their attention to him as well.
Everyone gradually realized that the boy who had always been overlooked was actually remarkably handsome, with bright, striking eyes and a lively, spirited nature. Wherever he went, he seemed to carry a pocket of sunshine with him.
Later, after Jiang Yu'an handled floods, stopped cheating in the imperial examinations, and put down rebellions, a few young admirers somehow appeared at his side.
And later still, Jiang Yu'an sat on the imperial throne and watched everyone crowd toward him. All he could do was hold out his hand in protest. Don't come any closer!
