The Young Master of the Duke's Estate Has Been Found

During the Shangyuan upheaval thirteen years ago, the two young sons of the Duke of Wen's household went missing. The elder brother was found eight years ago, and the younger brother has only just been found. Though he is a concubine-born son, the elder brother is refined and modest. Over the past eight years, he has become the talk of the capital and the most beloved child in the family. The younger brother, though born to the principal wife, was raised in the countryside for fifteen years. He's practically a country bumpkin: he dresses like one, talks like one, has no manners, and gets laughed at wherever he goes. Wen Ruan transmigrated into the body of this legitimate-born younger brother. As soon as he arrived, his concubine-born elder brother gave him a thorough lesson in manners, then coaxed him into learning how to enjoy life. "...Look at His Highness the Sixth Prince. He has all the wealth and luxuries he could ever want, and he does whatever he pleases." "...Look at His Highness the Sixth Prince. He's handsome, has a great figure, loves art, has excellent taste, knows his manners, and doesn't hold grudges." "...As long as you become friends with the Sixth Prince, you'll have no worries about food or clothes. He seems to like you a lot." Wen Ruan took his advice and befriended the Sixth Prince. With tears in his eyes, he began living a life of wealth and doing as he pleased. Thanks to his unusual personality, he became the darling of the powerful. No one dared bully him, and those who tried found themselves with nowhere to turn. In the end, the Sixth Prince begged him to accept the empress's seal and never leave him for the rest of their lives. Wen Yu, the elder brother, never wanted to live the way he had in his past life again. The Sixth Prince was a pervert, cruel and heartless. He had made Wen Yu suffer so much, leaving him scorned and humiliated, feeling as if he were better off dead every day. After losing the struggle for the throne, Wen Yu had to die with him, and was condemned as vicious and stupid. Meanwhile, his younger brother had won people's hearts by being frugal and down-to-earth, helping the future top scholar twice. The scholar remembered him, asked for his hand in marriage, and spoiled him rotten, making him the wife of a powerful minister whom everyone admired. In this life, before the royal betrothal was revealed, Wen Yu quickly pushed his younger brother Wen Ruan together with the Sixth Prince. He himself picked the right moment, changed into coarse clothes, and stole the chance to help the future top scholar. Watching the dusty, disheveled scholar, who had yet to take the imperial exams and didn't dare meet anyone's eyes, he showed off his frugal, capable homemaker persona and comforted himself: just wait a little longer, and this man will marry him. Half a year later, as his younger brother's reputation soared, he cooked over the fire and waited on his husband, cheerfully thinking that his husband would soon become the top scholar, the Sixth Prince would surely lose the struggle for the throne, and his clueless younger brother would meet a bad end. He waited through two rounds of imperial examinations. His husband still hadn't become the top scholar, while the Sixth Prince had earned countless merits and been hailed as the new emperor, with all under heaven submitting to him. And the younger brother he'd looked down on had become the empress! Theme: Face adversity with courage and grow into someone you like.
