That little sidekick he'd bullied back then was now a top-tier star in the entertainment industry! Chu Heng was delighted. How much could he make from keeping quiet about such a huge story as an out-of-wedlock child? Qin Yi was delighted too. The person he'd searched for all these years had delivered himself right to his door! Qin Yi: Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving. Not long afterward, an unknown paparazzo released photos of top-tier star Qin Yi on an outing with his family of three, and the star promptly responded. Qin Yi V: Thank you for your interest. Please don't disturb my beloved and my child. Chu Heng: Huh? But I can't give birth? [Blurb: Transmigrate into an Old-School Angsty Novel with My Older Brother] Xia Zhichi transmigrates into a book. In this fake political intrigue novel packed with every kind of melodramatic romance trope, he becomes the protagonist's doomed marriage alliance partner. He arrives just in time for the original character's attempt to push the protagonist's beloved off a cliff. Xia Zhichi stops at the edge of the cliff and pulls the beloved back instead. The beloved looks at him with red eyes. "Little brother, I've finally found you!" Xia Zhichi doesn't understand. They're both transmigrators, so why is he a disposable cannon fodder character while his older brother is the protagonist's beloved and the ultimate villain? Never mind. He'll just keep clinging to his brother like before. With his brother around, everything can be solved. "Little brother, I've thought it over. There's only one way to save you." The next day, the Great Zhou Emperor issues a wanted notice, ordering a search across the land for Fifth Prince Xia Zhichi, who failed to assassinate the crown prince. After his ruthless older brother bundles him off to the back courtyard of a general's residence, Xia Zhichi nervously rubs his hands together. "Um, look, you hate my brother too, I mean the damn crown prince. I hate him too. So could we..." Huo Xiao wipes the blood from his hands, glances at the pretty young man who has delivered himself to his door, and nods in agreement. He waves to his subordinates and says, "From now on, there is no longer a Fifth Prince of Great Zhou. There is only Mr. Chi, our strategist." Xia Zhichi freezes. Help, how did I end up as that all-powerful old monster in the book again?! Theme: Take control of your own destiny.
