In his previous life, his father died fighting for their country. He cast off his childish ways, donned armor, mounted his horse, and followed in his father's footsteps, killing the enemy for revenge and protecting this vast empire. In the end, he died at the hands of its ruler, along with his father.
The emperor used him, his mother poisoned him, his half-brother tried to kill him, his brothers betrayed him, and the one he loved hated him. As he lay dying, the only person to collect his body was a young scholar he'd bullied into living on the streets. Trembling with fear, the scholar buried him beneath a locust tree.
Reborn into a new life, he no longer goes against his own heart. So what if he's a spoiled wastrel? So what if he never amounts to anything?
Use him? Then this emperor can stop being emperor. Poison him? Don't blame him for showing no mercy to his own family. Kill him? Let's see who kills whom. Betray him? Dead men keep their mouths shut. Hate him? Who cares? Little scholar, don't run. I won't bully you anymore, okay?
