Zhao Cen wakes up to discover he's transmigrated into The World of War, a novel about a struggle for supremacy, and become the doomed crown prince who shares his name.
His father doesn't love him, his mother doesn't care for him, his younger brothers each have their own schemes, and the rebel army's male lead advances like a hot knife through butter. Zhao Cen is the only one loyal to the country and its people, yet he is killed on the battlefield.
That's too miserable!
Zhao Cen makes up his mind. Forget the succession struggles and the fate of the empire. Once the original male lead unifies the realm, all of them from the old royal family will die anyway. He'd better focus on saving his own skin.
Luckily, Zhao Cen knows the story. He rescues the original male lead's son from a prisoner camp and raises him by his side, hoping to use their bond to bargain for his life later.
But Zhao Cen never imagined that he'd become so close to the boy that the boy's feelings would change into something else.
Lin Huaian grows up with his mother. After she passes away, he finally makes it to his father's side, only for a military coup to send him to a prisoner camp. Just as he is being tortured and is about to die, the crown prince appears and saves him. The prince shows him endless tenderness and consideration. From that moment on, Lin Huaian swears that as long as he draws breath, no one will lay a hand on his Highness!
Theme: You saved me when you were the crown prince. When I become the crown prince, I'll marry you!
